My skill in life is optimism. I am good at other things, too, but I can find a silver lining to every aspect. And, I've been through a really hard life, so I know what I'm talking about. My dad has had cancer, my grandmother's heart-attack, my brother's battling depression, my mom's failed surgeries, I am having to transfer schools, etc. I have found something to be grateful for in each situation. Nothing keeps me down for long, and I feel that it is a good mentality to have and that more people should feel this way.
