Understanding who you are and what you want is probably one of the hardest things a person has to go through. Self-awareness takes courage, patience and understanding; all of which can be easily done individually but not collectively. A person must be brave enough to realize all of his/her faults and weaknesses. No matter how much you try no one can ever be perfect, for all individuals are made up uniquely and never more than the other. It also takes patience and a whole lot of time to come into conclusion of oneself. People are bound to change and our environment are to do the same and knowing who you are in a situation such as this takes up more than just one try. Understanding all this, and the importance of each puts it all together. This is why I’ve come close to myself to analyze what I can and cannot do or what may hinder or support me for becoming the person I want to be
