Throughout college I know I will be faced and challenged by many obstacles and difficult situations, but with the support of others and my own mental support I can allow myself to see the light guiding me to success. My character trait that I bring to York College is courage and bravery. I believe that being courageous was the most important trait to me when growing up because In my life I have faced and had to overcome a plethora of incidents that made me want to give up. Staying brave and relying on yourself when no others can will allow you to get through anything life brings you. I chose to take pictures and capture moments of trees around campus. The pictures I took show how trees are growing to the sky and towards the light. A tree starts out as a little seed under the ground in a dark place, as the tree grows from the ground the seed grows out and grows from the light and brightness. Just as the tree starts as a seed, I started as a baby and learned many morals. As I Grew throughout my whole life Courage was one of my core values. I believe this tree demonstrates the value of Courage. Throughout life reaching towards the light and looking forward to the good times in life will allow you to overcome the difficult obstacles life has in its path. As I grew up I had to face many hard obstacles, but with the support of my friends and family I was able to find my light to guide me in life. Now that I am in college I am able to rely on others to have my back and support me whenever I need. Additionally, allowing myself to overcome my struggles and grow from my mistakes will make me more motivated to be challenged by difficult obstacles and activities life has in its way. Finally, As a tree grows it has to be hydrated by water to grow big, just like how your mind can be strengthened by positive feedback and positive relationships. In conclusion I chose to pick a tree and the way it grows from a seed to a big specimen because in life as you grow from a child to adult the best way to overcome struggles is to look towards the light and think about better times and always know that you will get out of the bad situations life has to offer.
