There are many things that make me happy. I like playing sports or going on vacation with my family and friends. Happiness in our lives is important, but what is happiness? For me, simple things like reading interesting books in my bedroom or shopping and playing with my family are happiness.

My parents make me happy. Thanks to them, I did not need anything; I always had enough food and a roof over my head. I know that they made a lot of effort to give me a good life. I am also alive because of them. When I was a little girl, I nearly died twice, but they did everything they could to save me. When I am with them, I feel like I am that little girl protected and safe with a lot of warmth in her heart, and nothing will ever happen to her again.

Being a good person makes me happy. Because this world needs more goodness, I always try to do the right thing. Unfortunately, most of the time, I fail, but I never stop trying. Some people go to church looking for happiness while others find joy in money. When I was very young, I heard somebody talk about the ways to find happiness. I think there is not a special way to find that. Everybody has their own way to be happy. My way is very simple. I am focused on my family and friends trying to be a better person for them.
