Something that I have changed in my life is that now I am happy and by being happy I can make someone else's life happy if they have been sad. By being happy, I can erase all the awful things that have happened in my life by being happy. I don't worry about what people say about me. Being happy is feeling good and everybody likes feeling good. Last year I got mad a lot and I think that I really started to lose my friends. When I'm happy I feel free but when I'm sad, I feel like I'm behind bars and then I feel frustrated. So now I feel very happy and being mad creates problems cause then I always get mad. So I try to stay happy. So this is what has change in my life. Now I'm happy and I'm gonna make someone else's life happy. - middle school student, NC
