One of a Couple Billion

[Patrick Xie]

I am one out of a couple billion others that inhabit this world. What makes me so special that not one other person in this world could replace me? What can have me pointed out in a crowd? Absolutely nothing if I do nothing. So, why do I do what I do? I do because I try to make sure no one else in this world can replace me. I make sure that no one can do what I do exactly like me. I do not stand out, nor would I want to. I want to go with the flow yet still be considered an individual. I do not want to be considered special, nor do I want to be just like everyone else. Choices I make, determine who I am in life, but choices made by others that I follow are still a choice I have to make. I go to school because society demands it of me to try to be the best I can be. I exercise to be able to clear physical obstacles of everyday life. Childhood experiences drive others to make goals for their future life. My experience as a child has created that sense of purpose. Choices are what I want to do at that particular time, whether I have made the best one of my life or the stupidest one, all I can do now, is move on with my life or else I will always be living in the past. So why do I do what I do? I do because life is about making choices, and we make them whether we wanted to or not.
