This week I have been thinking about how happy I have been this past week. Before winter break I found myself very stressed all the time. I think part of my problem was that I was too concerned about my homework so I didn't have any fun and all I did was homework all the time. Although I still made sure all my homework was done this week I worked hard on time management and tried to stay ahead in most of my classes work wise so that I could enjoy my time at home. I didn't really notice how much happier I was taking less time on my homework and more time for myself till Wednesday. Wednesday my youth minister's wife: Shawn invited me to hang out with her at the church for the kids activity night because due to winter break it had been awhile since we had seen each other. At first I was a little hesitant to go because my homework wasn't done so I decided I would work extremely hard until it was time to drive and just finish it when I got home. Normally I don't do anything until my homework is finished but this week I decided that I don't want to look back on highschool and realize I never did anything fun because I was always doing homework. When I came home Wednesday night on the drive home I realized how glad I was that I went. It was fun catching up with Shawn and Matt and Jessica; the other high school student and I played takes with the little kids which was a lot of fun. This week since I cut down the amount of time I spent on my homework, I also had time to work on a music video I have been making to the song sorry but Justin Bieber. I was happy to work on it because I really like making videos using the app video star because it's a way to express your personality and creativity. Since I knew a lot of nights I would have at least twenty minutes to work on it I was able to take it slow and come up with good ideas. I was able to spend time on the effects and the choreography to make a pretty neat video. I think another reason I was happier was because I was feeling more confident. This year my New Years resolution was to put my effort in to myself and take care of myself. I'm not doing it to impress anyone I'm simply doing it because when I take better care of my self I feel more confident which overall makes me feel more confident. For example this week I made sure to create a solid skin care routine . Another part of taking care of myself includes taking care of my room and bathroom because when everything's organized it tends to distress me. I hope throughout this year I continue to leave time for myself each and everyday because it has made a tremendous effect on my attitude and stress level.

I'm glad to hear that you are happier with your life right now. It sounds like you've got a pretty good grip on things. You had a few errors in your piece. There were some typos, "New Years resolution" needs an apostrophe after the "s" in "Years", and I think the word you wanted to use was "unstressed" not "distressed". This was a good topic. Thanks for sharing your piece.
