Why I Like Being A Helpful Person

Helping others whether it be classmates or friends and family is one of the things I enjoy most. Like the first humans on earth, most of the skills they've acquired most likely did not come to them alone. They thrived through the basic need of socializing and helping each other work on the common problems they faced whether big or small. Helping doesn't always have to be socially, but you can also help physically such as carrying a heavy item. Perhaps I help to feel important and useful to others.

I would say that I am often seen as annoying and someone who lacks total confidence. Those thoughts alone still affect my life as a whole in almost every aspect, like a kid yearning for attention but can't get it. I tend to look down upon myself daily even when I do something 'positive', but when I help someone I gain total confidence in myself. It's like changing yourself for someone you like or something like that. I think one of the things that worries me when talking to someone is if I have bad breath so I always carry mints to prevent my act of kindness.

Although I lack confidence in a lot of subjects, I'd say math and science is where it is at for me. I have total confidence in these areas, unless you give me something I forgot overtime due to not using it in higher maths. Even if they are my strongest subjects, I'd say even I need to improve and relearn topics that were forgotten over time. I sometimes have this thing where all I need to do is look at a problem once and I am able to solve it, with that technique I can help others that are struggling with it.

I feel confident in math that I have decided to start up a math club with Mr. Cheung-my homeroom teacher and in my opinion the best math teacher at VAPA- and some of my friends from homeroom. I plan for me and my three other comrades to come up with good plans for the club, something I am bad at. It's a win win situation for college apps and I get to help people with my most passionate subject.

Overall, I'd say I am satisfied. I feel like anything is accomplishable when helping and it brings my mood up whenever I feel down. Helping others is a win win situation unless you have something against a person, which in my case I don't dislike anyone. Funny enough helping my mom doesn't bring that good feeling of helping others. Helping is truly what sparks joy for me. We don't want to be a boring club so i plan for me and my three other comrades to come up with good plans, something I am bad at. It's a win win situation for college apps and I get to help people with my most passionate subject.
