I see myself as a go-getter: when I want something, I usually find a way to get it. Lately, however, that has not been the case. I've been trying to find a job or internship (in the literary field), but I have been unlucky in my attempts. No matter how much I put myself out there, no matter how many companies that I apply to, no one is biting at my lure. It just seems like I've used up all my efforts - I've almost admit defeat.
But I refuse to give up! I'm not the type of person to sit down when the ground begins to shake. My parents gave me the name Valerie, which means" strength" or "strong." I like to believe that this name was meant for me - it defines the way I will conduct myself, the way I will make decisions: with strength. I will live up to the definition of my name. I will be strong, I will have strength, and I will persevere through the challenges that are in my path.
Giving up is not an option.
