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

When life gives you lemons you make lemonade. That's optimism. I think optimism means looking on the the bright side in all everything. When I was younger I had many optimistic moments, visions, and inspirations that helped me achieve greater achievements in my life.

My optimism will help me be happier and enjoy life more, even when times are at its lowest. Let's just say I lose your job. I wouldn't think about it as if your life is over; think about it as it's a new start. I also can just look on the brighter side of things and say that at least I can get an even better job than that one that pays more. You and I can (and should) spread optimism to other people. Just lift their day up. There is no limit to what we can do. I can achieve dream job status

One of my optimistic idols is Nelson Mandela. Nelson Mandela stated in his autobiography "Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving forward." What Mandela said is what I think we should live out. Don't look back. I try my hardest to live an optimistic life. I think my optimism will help me achieve things in life, because optimistic people tend to be more cheerful, and people usually like more cheerful people. Cheerful people tend to make other people cheerful, then leading to an endless chain of jolly people. Who knows, maybe my optimistic lifestyle will help someone else make friends. Changing people one step at a time.

I think optimism is key to life. My optimism will help me pursue my dreams because always thinking positively is an important trait. Optimism is an important trait especially when in school, or especially when you're down in the dumps, optimism can change your life in many ways and uplift your spirits. My optimism is going to help me pursue the job I never thought I could, or achieve goals I never thought I could in general. A goal that I can go for is being a rapper and making a lot of money. I've already completed one step.

When my dad was 14 he had a chance to get better education in Cuba. The government sent him with a couple friends to Cuba, leaving his family behind. This is slightly what happened to me. When I was eight I moved to the United States for better education. It is also safer here than the Bahamas. I left with my mother and my sister, but my dad was left behind to work. I was very sad, but I overcame that sadness and saw this as a chance have a fresh start. After this obstacle I had to face many more.

I think optimism will help keep a healthy mind. My optimism will help me pursue my dreams because always thinking positive is an important trait especially when in school, or especially when you're down in the dumps, optimism can change your life in many ways and uplift your spirits. My optimism is going to help me pursue the job I never thought I could, or achieve goals i never thought I could in general.

Optimism will help me wherever I go in life, with my many experiences, goals, and achievements. I think everyone is optimistic in their own way. You should always remember what to when life gives you lemons.... You make Lemonade.
