Perspective is your point of view on something or someone that makes you feel or react

in a certain way. My name is Destiny Scott, I’m 17 years old, I have a twin and an older sister,

and I live in a two-parent home. I tend to think about my future a lot because I’m not sure what I

want to do yet. I just want to make sure I pick the right career so I’m happy with my life. I feel

like these little aspects of my life help shape my perspective.

My parents have been married for 21 years now. They have shown us everything that a

healthy marriage should be. My Dad is very smart- especially in math. I honestly believe

everything he says when I ask for his opinions on things because his logic for it makes perfect

sense to me. My mom likes to keep it real and be direct when talking to people. Which I

probably get from her. She’s very helpful and does a lot for the community which keeps her very

busy.

I strongly believe that it's not what you say it’s how you say it. You can tell somebody

anything (for the most part) if you just say it the right way. In doing so you don’t come off wrong

and make anyone upset. I also believe that you should treat people how you would want to be

treated. I had a friend who would talk to people any type of way, but God forbid someone talks

to her the same way or there would be a problem. To me that doesn’t make any sense because if

you don’t like it what makes you think someone else would. Now I notice that I put myself in

other people's shoes and give people the benefit of the doubt even if they don’t deserve it.
 I’ve lived in Powder Springs for basically my whole life. We moved here when I turned 1

years old so about 16 years now. This city is all I know. I never had to experience moving and

having to make completely new friends at a new school. I wouldn’t know what to do in that

situation because I don’t like unwanted change.

I would say I have an introvert personality which makes my personality come in layers. I

hate being the center of attention (unless it’s my birthday) and I also can’t stand when other

people try to be attention seekers. I’m very quiet when I first meet people because I don’t know

what to say (besides those few exceptions when I meet someone who is easy to talk to). Once I

get passed that stage, I’m very funny, random at times, and optimistic. I look at the glass half full

but, don’t take my kindness for weakness. I have the same personality for my friends and family

I’m just a bit more open with my friends.

I cheer and play lacrosse in which my coaches are always trying to instill life lessons

about responsibility, leadership, and hard work. I’m also in student council and Chick-fil-a

leader's academy which also help with these qualities. I think these are great qualities to have

before stepping out into the real world on my own. My clubs and sports also help me learn to

work with different personalities because I’ve learned that you can’t talk to everyone the same.

Civil rights is a very important topic to me when it comes to racism, immigration, or just

people who are different. This goes back to treating people the way you would want to be treated

no matter their race, where there from, or if they live different lifestyles. Everyone is still human

and has feelings. Life is already hard enough don’t hate someone for what they can’t control. I

wish people would just mind their own business and worry about themselves if it has nothing to

do with you. I also believe in pro-choice. It may not be the best decision, but the government
doesn’t have the right to tell anyone what they can and cannot do with their own body. Only you

know what the best decision for you is.

My overall perspective is just to be kind and put yourself in other people’s shoes. Life is

hard enough, so it doesn’t hurt to be helpful towards others. I would say my perspective has been

shaped by my friends and family. Thank God, for the people he decided to surround me with.
