A Thank You To My Haters
Shamia Casiano

In a previous article, I addressed 5 people all seniors should thank before they graduate. My sister said I should have included that they should thank their haters. But I have enough of those that they deserve an entire article.

We should all thank our haters, because they help shape not only who we are, but they also influence the way we think and feel about ourselves.

With out farther ado

To My Haters:

I'm sorry that you couldn't see and appreciate the awesomeness that is me. But even though you missed out on an amazing person, yo made me into a better person.

Thank you for creating a healthy rivalry.

Thank you for making me want to be the best possible version of myself.

Thank you for helping me build my confidence.

Thank you for pushing me to work harder.

Thank you for teaching me how to stick up for myself.

Thank you for making me realize that my worth doesn't come from other peoples opinions.

Most of all thank you for making me realize that it's okay if everyone doesn't like me. I like me and that's all that matters.

So here's to you haters and thank you for making me a better person.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
