I believe I have control over my future. Several times throughout the day I have the choice to: pay attention in class, study for a test, do my homework to the best of my abilities, talk to different people, and more. All those things create my future and help form me to who I will become.
Since I was little my parents have encouraged me to work hard and be the best person I can be. I know that if I work hard towards something and focus on my goal I can achieve it. In sports I always try to play my best and to be the best teammate I can possibly be. In school I work my hardest and do my best on all my papers and usually a result is a good grade. If you do those things others are more likely to follow you and now your choices don't only affect you, but now the people around you. In life there is so many of those choices, it is just a matter if you will make the right ones. I believe I have control over what I do and what I do will affect others choices.
At the end of the day your choices make who you will become. Every choice will change you and others. You don't pick what family you will grow up in or how other people act or treat you, but you can influence them. No matter who or what is against you, you can still beat the odds. It will be difficult but with hard work and smart decisions anything can happen.
