"I feel it is extremely important to focus on mental health and make sure that you are taking care of yourself. Happiness, to me, is finding yourself and truly understanding what makes you comfortable. I chose to express this in my daily life by reflecting a lot. I find it important to document your emotions, which I do in a journal. Being able to lay everything in front of you helps you to understand why you may feel the way that you do and try to change the things that upset you."

"I believe pure happiness can go a long way in life. I try to express this happiness by telling the people I care about that I love them. I do everything in my power to make the people I care about happy because, at the end of the day, it's what makes me truly happy. Whatever I put out is what I believe I will receive. I commit to this by just reminding myself who I am, what I'm really about. I push myself to do what I think is right, to not hold myself back, because it just holds back what makes me happy."

"I think love and happiness go hand in hand, and I chose this value as my most important because I feel like the best thing life can give you is the feeling of love from those you care about the most. I want to express this value in my daily life by being around my family and friends and gaining happy memories with them. My behavior reflects this value by always trying to find a way to communicate with my closest friends and family and always being around my family and friends. I tend to put them first in almost every situation before myself. I try to be happy around my friends and family and care for them, respect them, have them be comfortable around me and share feelings with each other."

"I really think the meaning of life is about being happy. Being happy and fulfilled, however, is a lot bigger than oneself. Happiness, for me, means that everybody around me is also happy and fulfilled with their life, so I work my hardest to make sure that I am in no way a cause of unhappiness to anyone. This means constantly improving myself and making sure that I am the best version of myself possible, which means being kind, compassionate, empathetic, understanding, not short-tempered, not selfish, not egotistical, and not annoying, among other things. I know that I cannot fix everyone’s problems, and I try not to carry the weight of their problems on my shoulders. However, I think it is important to do everything within your power to make people around you happy and be there for them. For happiness, I really think surrounding yourself with good, loving people and being the best version of yourself, is very important."
