When I was in High school my english teacher taught us a lot about empathy. Empathy is one thing I can honestly say, without trying to be cocky, that I am really good at. Some people are just naturally born with different skills and this is one of mine. I think it was because of the way I was raised, Ilearned a lot from my mother. I can definitely say that this skill that I have has helped me form strong relationships with others because they know I care and that I will be there for them when things get hard. One article that I recently wrote was about learning Spanish. I very much agree with this phrase “Show me a curious person who’s willing to learn and improve, and I’ll show you a success story waiting to happen.” When I was learning another language it was hard but I was willing to make mistakes and to learn and improve. That ultimately led me to becoming fluent in Spanish.

I personally believe that passion is one of the big things that differ us, one from another. For me, my passion is technology, I love learning more about what is new, how it works and what more we can do to improve. Anything from video games, to new computers, to quantum physics and how we can put all of these things together to make something innovative and incredible. I feel like many people these days don’t have a passion, they let their life waste away watching Netflix. I believe that if you haven’t found your passion, you haven’t found yourself. I am actually very grateful that this article was written. I was able to look at these previously unknown 10 qualities of emotions and analyse where I am at. I realize that there are definitely places where I can improve and how I can make my life more rich and meaningful. So, thank you!
