My initial encounters with mental health issues began in my teenage years, a period marked by the pressures of academic expectations, social dynamics, and being an athlete. Anxiety and depression emerged as unwelcome companions, over viewing over my daily routine. Simple tasks became so hard, and the future, once bright and promising, seemed so far away and hard to even look forward too. The stigma surrounding mental health often led me to suffer in silence, keeping my feelings isolated and feeling hopeless. To this day I still have trouble with it. I've never been the one to ask for help because I never wanted to be a bother. Healing has not been a linear journey; it is marked by progress and setbacks. One of the most signifcant aspects of my recovery has been trying to learn to use self-compassion. For years, I was my harshest critic, berating myself for perceived failures and shortcomings. Not feeling like I was good enough for anyone or if I was going to fail it would be the end of the world. Talking about my feelings helped me understand the importance of treating myself with the same kindness and understanding that I would offer a friend in distress. Living with mental health issues is an ongoing journey, one that requires continuous effort and adaptation. There are still days when the shadows loom large. Especially right now as I am still dwelling on the passing of one of my good friends who was also suffering with his mental health. But sadly he thought suicide was the option. I can tell you right now it is not. I always thought it was too ,until I realized that it is okay to talk about your feelings and it's okay to not be okay. As of today I have been an advocate on spreading awareness about mental health and how important it is to talk about it. I have done fun raiser, a balloon launch, and spoke in front of my school to talk about suicide and how it is not the right option. . Sharing my story, both in personal conversations and public forums, has been a powerful tool for connecting with others and fostering a sense of community and support. This has helped me pursue a career in medicine to try and help people. While trying to perform in medicine you are always hands on trying to help someone else. After my good friend has passed this has opened my eyes even more to try and help others. Make sure they are in the right mindset and going to be okay. The medical field has always been an option cause I've always loved helping people. All of these things that have happened have shaped me to the person I am today. I have grown so much and still healing from my experences I hope no one will ever have to go through what I have been through. It has taught me resilience, compassion, and the importance of self-care. While the path has not always been easy, it has led me to a deeper understanding of myself and the human experience. As I continue to navigate this journey, I remain committed to fostering awareness, seeking growth, and embracing the complexities of mental health with an open heart and mind. Now I will be doing all of these things while being in the medical field. I am excited for what has to come and how I will be able to impact others.

One hard ship I faced was My mental health. My initial encounters with mental health issues began in my teenage years, a period marked by the pressures of academic expectations, social dynamics, and being an athlete.

That was my turning point, when I reached out for some help. A huge decision that felt both terrifying and liberating. My first step was talking to the school counselor, which helped a lot. But I was still having those sad feelings. However, with the guidance of a compassionate counselor, I found a regimen that worked for me, providing the stability I needed to begin rebuilding my life.

Making a positive impact in the world is a driving force that shapes my personal and professional life. The challenges of today’s world require a multifaceted approach, grounded in empathy, sustainability, and innovation. Through a combination of education, community engagement, and personal development, I aim to do something good in the world. By pursuing higher education and engaging in continuous learning, I can acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to address pressing global issues. Moreover, I am committed to sharing this knowledge with others. By volunteering at local schools and community centers, I can help empower the next generation with the tools they need to succeed. Education should not be a privilege but a universal right, and I aim to support and provide access to quality education for all. To make a meaningful impact, it is crucial to develop qualities such as resilience, empathy, and ethical leadership. These traits enable me to navigate complex challenges and inspire others to join the cause. Through self-reflection, mindfulness practices, and seeking feedback from peers and mentors, I aim to have a growth mindset and a strong moral. As I progress in my career, I will strive to lead by example, prioritizing transparency, accountability, and inclusivity. Whether in a corporate setting, a non-profit organization, or a community project, my goal is to create environments where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute. All I have ever wanted to do is make sure everyone is happy. I have never liked arugments or people fighting. In today’s digital age, technology has the potential to be a powerful force for good. By harnessing the capabilities of digital tools and platforms, I can amplify my impact and reach a broader audience. For example, I plan to use social media to raise awareness about important issues. One issue that has stood out to my for a while now is mental health. I have dealt with mental health myself so I know the struggle. I have been spreading the word about how important it is and how it is okay to not be okay. With this I have spoken infront of crowds of people, even my school talking about how important mental health is. As days pass by I will never forget when I found out one of my good friends committed suicide because his mental health was so bad. One thing for is that suicide is not the right answer. Its okay to talk about your feelings and it's sad and depressing. What isn't okay is not talking about it. I have spread the awarness about mental health over social media, led a ballon launch at my high school and even went and supported the spirit hockey team the night they talked about suicide. I still plan to spread the issue over all platforms, so people know it is okay to ask for help. Making a positive impact in the world is a multifaceted endeavor that requires dedication, innovation, and a deep sense of empathy. Through education, community engagement, personal development, and the strategic use of technology, I am committed to contributing to a better future. While the challenges I believe that with a collaborative approach, meaningful change is not only possible but inevitable. My life is just beginning and I am so excited for what the future holds and what these efforts will unfold and hopefully to inspire others to join in making a difference.

Mental Health is a multi faced and deeply personal situation. It is both invisible and extensive, effecting our everyday lives in ways not many may recognize. My initial encounters with mental health issues began in my teenage years, a period marked by the pressures of academic expectations, social dynamics, and being an athlete.

I have had many obstacles that I have overcome that consist of me being a female in a male dominated sport and just being a teenager in general. I have struggled with my mental health for the past few years and trying to be a student athlete at the same time can be very difficult. But I always tried to keep a positive mindset. I tried to set goals for myself too, that has helped me stay focused what is important and makes me not get into a dark mindset. I have stayed persistent to what is important to me, breaking down each challenge into smaller pieces makes the challenges more manageable. I'm not the person to seek help I like to do things on my own. But when I realized that it could be more help for my performance and my own mindset for me I sought'd to looked towards friends and a trusted adult. I have learned that everything is just temporary. Nothing is going to last forever and the thoughts and feelings I have are just in my head. Celebrating the small accomplishments helps me see progress and where I have come from. Wrestling comes with many obstacles especially being a female wrestler. This sport has always been something I could lean on. While struggling with my mental health wrestling was one way I could just zone out. But other times wrestling was the worst thing in the world. I was also criticized by people because I was a female wrestler. I had never gotten the respect I should have. I was the burden in the room because I was just a "girl", it was also a thought in peoples minds that "she is just a girl, she shouldn't be wrestling". As I had gotten older it fueled my power. Women's wrestling has grown bigger than I ever thought it would. It has taught me that through any obstacles or challenges there will always be a light at the end of the tunnel. You just have to get past all of the hate, disrespect, and down right nastiness of people. Wrestling has changed me for the better, I have made friendships that I still hold onto today. These friendships had started when I was little and they were the supporters and ones that helped me have the drive to keep doing the sport. Those friendships I had aren't friendships anymore they are family. Wrestling is like no other sport, there is nothing that you can compare wrestling too. Yes, it can be a team sport, but you are practically by yourself the entire time. I have lacked self-confidence and still do. But wrestling has helped me to believe in my preparation. My wrestling coach has taught me a lot, he always says "if you don't believe in yourself, just be confident in your preparation" that I will hold onto forever. I know wrestling will help my with my future plans, I have achieved many awards from wrestling. Some that are taking third three years in a row at states, getting my 100th career win, team captain, Tri-valley all conference outstanding sportsmanship for 2 years in a row, All state individual honors, Warrior mentality award. I know looking back all of these will help me achieve my future goals. I plan to go into the medical field. I have always been the person to help others before I help myself. I plan to work with kids specially sports medicine. Well thank you for the opportunity and listening, hope you have great day. :)
