An attitude is very powerful. It can build or destroy a relationship， home， a dream； a person' s life. As a young female， I had a very bad attitude. I would always walk around in bad moods. It was something inside of me making me so hostile. I decided to take it out on anybody who came in my way. Most people didn' t want to be bothered with me. The ones who did get involved wished they hadn' t. My attitude was known as the "virus." It was not contagious， but it was hurting my body and mind， as well as others. It was like a poison I had that needed to be cured.
The first time I met Ms. Clark， she was full of happiness and joy. I couldn' t understand why she was happy. Here was a lady who was blind， telling jokes， and laughing in her condition. It was just unbelievable. At that point in my life， I decided I needed a change of ways. If God allowed Ms. Clark to be positive， then I knew the world was not a bad place after all. Besides， I didn' t want to be lonely and miserable all my life. For that reason I turned over a new leaf. Every night I pray to God and ask Him to help me with my attitude， so that I can make a positive change in my life as well as others. I am thankful for what I have and am using the talents I have to help others—and I' m not focusing on what I don' t have. I realize now that a positive attitude can make a world of difference in my life and the lives I touch.
The only person in charge of my attitude is me. I have chosen to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative. I have not yet reached the point where Ms. Clark is， but when I get older I want to be just like her. I discovered I always have choices and sometimes it' s only a choice of attitude. It' s up to me if I want to succeed in life or fail. In my journey of life， I am striving to be the best I can be， with my new positive attitude.
