A Work In Progress by Samantha A.
Have you ever wondered how some people could seem so happy and so perfect
with life? Don't worry, so have I. It has never made sense to me that some people can
be so unhappy while others are living their best life. We all live in the same world so
why don't we have the same feelings in life? It all comes down to us being a work in
progress.
I was reading an essay prompt in my English class one day, and a question
came up, “What skill or area is in need of work with yourself?” After reading this it made
me think about everything I did. I believe everyone is a work in progress before they
reach their full potential. I believe there are many stages we go through to reach our
max full potential.
To reach our full potential, I believe we have to find what we love in life. In order
to find what we love, we have to go through a process of phases and stages. We all go
through many stages in life. As we grow up we still have many things to work on. For
example, when we are first born we can't walk, but as we get older we learn to use our
legs and learn new limits with our bodies.
Along with going through many stages in life, we also go through many phases.
The world itself is always going through phases along with people themselves. Trends
are a phase the world goes through. As we grow up, we go through these phases to find
what we love best. Through these phases, we learn new things about ourselves and
In life, we're all battling something with ourselves that no one knows about.
These battles would be a work in progress. No matter how perfect someone might look
and sound, it doesn't mean they don't have something to work on. I myself am a whole
work in progress. I have many flaws that I have come to terms with and many flaws that
I still have not come to terms with it. After reading a work in progress example in English
class, I realized one big trait about myself that I need to work on. It's a good trait to have
but yet such a bad trait to have. I tend to walk away from things I want, to make others
feel happy. This is a work in progress to help me become a better person.
I believe that there are many factors that lead up to our full potential, but these
are just a few examples. We all go through phases and stages and find new things that
work for us. This all allows us to find who we are and what we want to be who we are.
It's all a work in progress, but we never stop reaching to be our best.
