A goal I have for the rest of the school year is to be more steady in a chair. Sometimes, I climb and hang from my chair in homeroom and that’s not the steadiest thing to do. I learned that the steadier people that I’m with, the more steady I am. I was with my parents for a week in California and I was more relaxed than I usually am. I had a week at camp and I was more relaxed there then I ever was at camp. A way I could get more steady on a daily basis is to have a conversation with my parents who made me more steady over the break. Thomas Szasz once said
“People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates.”
And I have created a way for me to get steady.
