What Am I Worth?

"What am I worth?"
This is a question that many of us, even I, have asked ourselves during this lifetime. Well, what ARE you worth? Nothing.... a lot?
Let me tell you, you are indeed worth a lot. We live in a world where image and fitting in apparently matters. But honey, in reality it doesn't. Since when does someone have to define what clique or stereotype you belong to? Seriously, think about it! WHO defines it? No one should. Everyone goes through their own failures, successes, goals, and experiences in life and there's nothing to it. What you have been through shouldn't define your worth. Just because we all go through different things and have different outcomes, that shouldn't define your place on this Earth.

You're amazing in your own way and you should never doubt yourself. Give yourself more credit than what you give. Realize the impact you have made and also realize the reason as to why you are here. Trust me, there IS a reason, whether it's hard to believe it or not. Life is hard, but you have people around you that care. Whatever higher power you believe in, you're on this Earth for a reason. Again, as I've stated before, you may not know it yet, but you will at some point. You have been a huge impact to other people and you might not even know it. You have a purpose.

No matter what hardships you been through, there is a place to grow. You need to learn from it and you need to know that the past isn't want defines you. It's THE moment you decide how you live your life that will. You will always encounter trials but you have support and you have to realize that you are so blessed.
To those reading this right now, I don't know you, but I know you are amazing. You have a purpose. You have so many things in your life to smile about and people that are there throughout your life (and if you truly feel like you do not, you have this website that you can always turn to when is needed ;)). Once you realize the worth you contain (which is A LOT) you will start seeing how great your life is.

I can tell you a bunch of times how great you are, but it won't do much until you realize that for yourself. You have to get to the point in life where you live for YOU. You live for those who LOVE you. For those YOU love. You can't let negativity DEFINE how you'll live the rest of your life.

Like my motto has always been, "Live.Laugh.Love."

Stereotypes

“People like them are lazy, conceited, unintelligent, and useless,” are the statements that I constantly hear about Latinos and Hispanics nowadays. There are millions of people and now all of a sudden these ethnic groups are lazy, conceited, unintelligent, and useless? I don’t think so! For centuries, racism has been a huge issue in this country; ever since slavery was practiced in the 1800’s, it has been a huge influence as to what we go through now. We obviously don’t have slavery anymore, but back then it was considered that people with a darker skin type were a minority and that stereotype has been glued to some people’s minds. I on the other hand, don’t agree with that statement.    The question I find myself asking on a regular basis is, since when does race determine your character?Yes, there are different cultures that people bring from where they are from, but that doesn’t exactly form your character. Nothing should be based or judged on by the color of skin or where you came from and unfortunately, it’s the opposite.    


Everyone should give some credit to each and everyone they see, and not stereotype them for the way they look or where they are from. We can’t get rid of stereotypes and racism all together, but if each one of us individually worked on not judging one another you will definitely see a big difference. We live in America, and I believe that we should embrace the “freedom” that it was originally given and give that freedom to everyone.-AIMEE VARGAS


(Notice: By me posting, I hope you realize I'm not trying to say that only these groups are the ones being stereotyped. Everyone is stereotyped in one way or another, and I'm not wanting it to seem like it's not.)
