Reaching For the Stars

I’m Marisha. I am just a sixteen year old girl looking for her own piece of mind. To start off my autobiography, I am to introduce myself gracefully to start off my story. I’m not the most graceful person, but I’ll do my best.

I chose this title, “Reaching For the Stars” because I want to achieve great things and make something of my life. I want to travel the world and make a difference. I’m sure a countless amount of people say something to that effect, but I mean it and I will. The way I see it, even when I have attained a high point in my life, there is always something extra to reach for. I am going to reach my full potential by the time my turn is over. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and the way a person reacts to those things determines who he is and who he will be. Every person needs to know that there is always something out there waiting just for him; better or worse, it’s that persons own choice to reach for the stars and grab it.

More literally, I thrive on stargazing. Every now and then I’ll just lay out on a trampoline or in a park and search the stars. At times they feel so close I can almost physically touch them. They fascinate me, and I’m sure they always will. When I look at the stars I know that everything I want to experience is possible. I believe we all have a story. We can choose to write it for ourselves or someone else will. Every story is worth mentioning. And this is the story of my life.
