Who am I ?

 My name is Mercedes Elizabeth Joyce. I think in this past year I have learned more about who I am and the things that inspire me more than I have before in previous years. I have many interests such as healthy living and eating correctly. I enjoy an opportunity given to learn something interesting. I'm a person that if something catches my attention, I go for it. I take the leap of faith. I look at my life as a story I am creating, and every moment is an opportunity to make an experience or memory that will last a lifetime. 

I wouldn't say I have a ton of hobbies unless you include my slight addiction to borrowing traffic cones on night drives with my best friend. I focus a lot of my life on my work and my studies. I like to go to Target almost weekly as a so-called therapy. Other than that, I am pretty lame. I go to bed fairly early, I don't party, so I don't find myself doing a ton of things in my free time. My biggest pet peeve is when you are walking whether it be a hallway or what not and someone just stops in the middle. I just personally don't get that concept. 

My biggest goal is to enjoy life, I don't want to force myself to do anything that isn't going to result in my happiness. I struggle greatly with multiple forms of anxiety and depression. So, the most important thing to me in life is making sure at the end of the day I am happy. I would love to become a Nicu nurse and eventually work towards becoming a doctor in the future. I'm not someone to give up, plan a might not work but that's why there is a who alphabet of letters to go through. 

I am unique in the matter of I live freely. I don't look at my life as a ticking time bomb, I don't think about the past. I am very down to Earth in the way I choose to love and just go about every day. I think truly this has created such a beautiful impact on not only my mental health but my life.
