// My english essay. I enjoy writing.//

There is only one person that brought me to where I am today. Me. Yes, there are other people that also helped, but in the end there is only me. I am the only one that truly understands what is going on in my mind and I will be there for myself until the end. For the longest time I believed that I am nothing without other people to help me, but in the end, I am the only one that knew how to help myself. I made it trough the hardships of being a teenager on my own. I made it trough without anyone’s help. That’s what makes me unique because I can cope on my own. I am independent and strong woman who can easily manage on her own.

            I have a loving father, who is actually my stepfather because my real father didn’t care about me anymore, so my stepfather eventually became my real father. Having a different last name made me feel like I didn’t belong to the family, so I made the decision to take on my father’s last name. When I was 14 years old, I changed my last name to “Linzer”. He is my real dad now.

            My mother supports me with her whole heart in every decision and choice I make. She accepts me as the person I am and that makes her a wonderful human being. Never pushing me into a direction that I didn’t want to go to. Always congratulating me on my success. I couldn’t have asked for a better mother.

            Having only one sister is a good thing because we know each other well. Her life is just as adventurous as mine. Being able to live in different countries and traveling the world. It’s all just so exciting. Of course that also has its downsides. We hardly ever get so see each other. She lives in Vienna now, after having lived in Costa Rica for a few years. I am going to move to Melbourne, Australia. We’ll probably not see each other for many months, even years for all I know. It’s sad because I do miss her a lot. She’s just a wonderful person to have around. I mean she’s my sister.

            Now it’s time for me to move on again. After having spent two years in New Jersey and another two years in Massachusetts. I am moving on. Moving is like second nature to me because I’ve done it so many times already. But then again, I can’t now move. I can’t stand this place we’re at now. Many places get boring to me so quickly that I can’t wait to leave. Traveling is so much fun.

            While there may be many things that I still don’t quite understand about people, I know I will do well. Not to boast or anything, but I’m a smart young woman and I will definitely be successful in life and that doesn’t mean that I’ll be rich and famous. It just means that I will live a happy and long life. And so should you. Also, remember my first paragraph? About me not needing to rely on anyone. I was lying. I would be nowhere without my family.
