    “What do you want to do when you become older?” That is a question many of us were asked when we were extremely young. As we grew up we continued to be asked the same question whether it was by a family member or a friend. The bold among us likely conjured up occupations a far cry from the typical nine-to-five grind; only to learn later in life that job opportunities like being a veterinarian would be hard to come by. At first, I thought that question would have been a lot easier to answer, until I had to start preparing for my college applications.

  • Summary Of Challenge By Another Name By James Lincoln Collier

    In James Lincoln Collier’s, “Anxiety: Challenge by Another Name”, Collier explains that the anxiety people go through is just another challenge keeping us from doing what makes us happy. He believes anxiety can get bad enough to the point where it can become a challenge for someone to have a positive personal development. Personally, I agree with Collier’s view because anxiety can stop you from doing what you make you happy but they are challenges that help you build a stronger personal development once they are overcome. Typically, when someone has anxiety they may fall in a state of depression. Instead of living miserably, avoiding what made you anxious and depressed can help you improve your way of living and help you become a better person
