 * How my optimism will help me press on to greater achievements in the future.**

Optimism is something we need in life. If we didn't have optimism, the world would be unenjoyable. Think about all the positive effects optimism has had on the world. What would happen if our world lacked this so-needed optimism? We wouldn't have gotten past a lot of things in history, like the Great Depression and major goals society would have never been accomplished, and also curing cancer or AIDS. We may not even have the world we have today!

If I'm not optimistic how am I going to get anywhere? Well, negative thoughts might take over in my head. It won't do me any good, but I can't really help it because I'm not really optimistic. If I don't have optimism, things will be hard for me in the future. If I constantly tell myself that I'm bad at everything or that I'll never reach any of my dreams, I won't ever reach them. Because thinking negatively influences the way I do things. I tend to point out all of the bad and never the good. Like I always tell myself that I would never pass this or I will never do good on it and I would always criticize every single thing I do. That takes me absolutely nowhere though, but that isn't the point of this. My optimism will help me through future situations, like when I enter high school I know that I'm going to be very shy and not talk to anyone that much, but I shall not fear because optimism is on my side.

Optimism will help me strive to do what I want to do the most and that is singing. I may not be the best at it, but I will improve and not let any of the negative thoughts get to me. I do have a passion for singing and I want my voice to be heard throughout the world, but at the same time I don't want it to because I'm afraid. That's where my optimism would play its part and make me not afraid anymore. If I continue being optimistic then I would be able to sing in front of others easier and I would be one step closer to achieving this goal of mine.

Throughout life, there will be lots of things I would need to practice to learn to do, or achieve, like learning to play in instrument, or baking a certain kind of food. Though I may not be amazing at it at first, I will have to have optimism that I will get better so that I can accomplish most of the goals I have set for myself. Other than singing, my other main goal in life is to become an artist. I really enjoy drawing and I could say that I'm pretty good at it too, but I get too lazy to draw so I don't really improve at all. I shouldn't be telling myself that I won't get any better though, and I should just look on the brighter side and just think positive. In the future I am sure to become a better artist because of my optimistic ways and if I continue to keep this up, I will be a person filled with optimism.

In conclusion, optimism is something the world couldn't exist without. Without thousands of optimistic people, we wouldn't have been able to defeat plagues, stop wars, and we'd all be just generally much sadder people. If every time something bad happened, like me getting stung by a bee, I shouldn't get upset about it because telling myself that it'd never get better wouldn't be getting me anywhere. It's essential to have optimism to succeed in life, and I know I'll be sure to use it in my future.
