Identify Past Successes
A past success I’ve had in my recent years happened in 2016 where I adopted my dog. I was in a challenging part of my life and struggling with mental health, but the choice I made to adopt my dog was a personal success. Adopting my dog was a success to me, because I was able to challenge myself by taking care of someone else, even though I was struggling to take care of myself. My dog allowed me to open myself up to my past self and successfully take care of him and myself. Another success I’ve had in my recent years was getting my associate degree. It was around that same time that I was struggling mentally, due to depression. I earned my degree, pushing through the challenges between school and mental health and was able to complete everything I worked for. A personal success I’ve had recently was being able to balance school and my home-life. Around a year ago, my parents divorced and it was a hard time for my family. I couldn’t take a break from my classes and had to learn to balance school with family issues. I call it a success, because I was able to keep up with all of my school work and do well, despite the challenges I faced alone.
