We are constantly changing as we get older in life. Through past experiences and surrounding oneself with people, one decides whether or not he or she wants to improve ourselves. Those who make this decision are reinventing themselves. To reinvent oneself means to change into a new and better version of yourself. Most people do this when they are experiencing a life-changing event, such as going to college or losing someone important in their lives.

When I first got to college, I reflected on who I was in high school and thought about the person I've always wanted to be: a more confident and outgoing person. Then, I began thinking of ways I could change my personality and how I viewed my self image.

Reinventing myself has been one of the best decisions I've made so far in my life. Doing this has allowed me to not only become more confident and outgoing, but also find myself by discovering how capable I am of achieving my goals. I have pushed myself out of my comfort zone and befriended some of the most amazing people. I have also developed interests in activities I wouldn't have imagined doing in high school. None of this would've been possible without having an open mind and readiness to accept the challenges to come.

One of the most rewarding aspects of reinventing yourself is looking back on who you used to be and seeing how far you've come. We all have something we want to change about ourselves. By making an effort to reinvent ourselves, we will become more successful individuals and realize how much we can accomplish. It is never too early or too late to become the person we've always wanted to be.
