Are you an optimist or a pessimist?

Being an optimist isn’t a bad thing neither is being a pessimist.

I just read an essay written by a senior in high school.
It’s actually a college admission essay and it has also been marked as a good written admission essay.
He starts his essay by saying he’s an optimist and he’s not afraid about this fact.
In his essay, he tells us his childhood and his optimism been exploring.
Because of he’s an optimist he was homeschooling when he was young.
At the end, he ends the essay as below.
”Perhaps with time I will one day become cynical and mature, losing my native, childish beliefs. But for the time being, I ‘ll make a confession: I don’t think I will. The truth is, I intend to keep on being an optimist. After all, here we are clinging to a tiny speck of dust called Earth, hurtling through space and going who knows where. And all we have is this little time squeezed between two great silences. So what is there to be pessimistic about?”
I like how he’s not afraid of who he is and doesn’t affect by others. He’s strong on his belief.
”The truth is, I intend to keep on being an optimist.”

Be yourself and be strong with it.
