The Importance Of Appreciating Yourself

You might feel alone, I'm here to tell you, you're not.

The Importance Of Appreciating Yourself

To come this far in life, I have walked through Hell and back. I know it sounds bad, but I'm here to tell you it gets better. I've talked many friends out of self harm as well as suicide. I love hearing what other people have to say and making sure everyone feels important in their own way. If you're like me, you know the struggle of always putting others before yourself.

Sometimes, when we do this it's easy to lose track of loving yourself and it's hard to remember that it's okay to put yourself before others every once in a while. It's okay to take care of you, if you're always taking care of everyone else's needs and wants. We tend to forget that making ourselves feel important is something we should do as well. Why I say "Never Give Up" is simple.

If you're the person who people come to for stress-relief, venting or even a shoulder to cry on, it can be hard to find someone to be there for you and your own stress-relief or venting. You may ask yourself, "Where's my shoulder?" Most people, myself included, tend to feel unwanted and under-appreciated. Well, we aren't. Because of you, people have survived. You turned their tears into smiles, their broken hearts into mended minds, and, most importantly, you have influenced them in one way they can't forget. Because of you, we are still here. When you feel lonely, don't be scared to turn the page in the book of your life.

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
