What defines me?? Well someone who hasn’t really gotten to know me might say, “ Oh she’s that smart girl!”, or “Yeah, she’s pretty nice.” Although, there is a lot more to me than just what the surface suggests. I believe that what defines me is not what others choose to assume they know about me, it’s what I choose to think. Yes, I strive to get good grades and yes I try hard to be kind to everyone, but that’s not even the beginning. Every talent and quality I have comes from a very inner passion that doesn’t come from this Earth entirely! It comes from my my faith in Jesus Christ and my strive to be all He has called me to be!
Now I’m not someone that is a freaky religious person and goes around shoving the gospel down people’s throats, but I do have a quiet, still confidence in what I believe. I also believe that everything that defines who I am comes from Him! Every passion, skill, circumstance, success, hobby, and even failure makes up who I am and all comes from Him! I have a confidence that has escalated through my middle school years that most kids my age have a hard time finding in this time of transition that I am thankful for. He has made me into who I am today and will continue to mold and shape me until I finally come home. I believe how others choose to think about me comes entirely from how I present myself and I choose to present myself in a confident, humble manner that generally makes others enjoy being my friend and if they don’t, I don’t let that define me.
I have always grown up in a sheltered, healthy family environment. . A large part of who I am comes from the type of family I come from. I have been taught to be kind and try my best in school and a lot of my parents morals have transferred into mine. And a lot of what is important to me I got from learning by example. Now don’t think that I live my life through my parents. I have adopted my faith and my morals as my own but the initial idea came from how my parents raised me. I have a supportive family and a loving Creator to lean on and that’s more than a lot of people can say they have. So overall, the tough, broad question of what really defines me really isn’t that complicated. Ultimately, my faith is what completely and utterly defines me and everything that is a result of that makes up Olivia Mae Kliner.
