Sonia's Visit (9I)


Sonia’s had great advice and feedback she presented to the students who attended the assembly. They tried to make the assembly feel casual by having Sonia and our Southern representative sitting in couches and conversing. I think that the format of this meeting was done nicely. They brought up good questions for Sonia to answer. One thing that struck me was the way Sonia answered each one of the questions with intense depth. She had insightful, and really inspirational responses and advice. At one point she began talking about happiness and my full attention was focused on her.

Happiness comes when you make the best of things. You have to accept what you have in your life, or what life gives you and create the happiness. It doesn’t just show up on your front door step, you have to make it yourself. Surrounds yourself with people who make you happy, find a job that brings you joy, and eventually find that one person who brings you the most happiness. I really took that advice to heart and one day when I begin to live my own life as an independent adult I will need to find happiness where ever I am. If I cannot find happiness then I need to find it. Happiness is very important and I cannot imagine living without it, therefore in my future I will make sure that happiness is a key element in my life.
