This I believe

Title: The Person I'm Supposed to Be
Belief Statement: “I believe pain tells us something critical about ourselves and life: that developing strength and empathy and bravery is more essential than our personal comfort.”

I liked this essay because it relates to how everyone can feel at one point in their life. The author explains how hard it is to get through the tough times and how inner strength is everyone needs. It was sad to read this at first because it was about his depression, but it really just shows how strong of a person he is and he's trying to prove that everyone can do the same.
