The purpose of my writing is to tell the readers the horrible experience I went through and how I bounced back. My motivation is to give motivation to those who are now going through trouble times or those who may face it down the road. I want my audience to come away with the feeling that although you may loose yourself from time to time you will always regain back all of the elements that make you who you are. Ultimately, my main point is that everyone experiences horrible times and everyone overcomes them, whether alone or with help, you have to know mentally that you will get better and what is happening will eventually fade away. I want to emphasize the idea of giving up pride and the idea of conquering bad times by yourself but rather leaning on those who are stronger at that time. It is so important to not only surround yourself with people you know you can trust but people who you know will devote their time to getting you better.
My audience is any age because bad times do not care about age. Although the bad experiences may differ for every single person, everyone gets hit with something that they struggle to overcome. These readers will be looking for my way of beating what was trying to beat me. I believe everyone comes to a time in their life when they are at their weakest and feel that they won’t be able to forget their pain, heal or move on. I also know that everyone has that one person they call if something ever goes wrong and if they had to finish the phrase “I couldn’t have done it without…” they would be able to finish. For me, my mother is my rock through all of the bad times I have faced and the lessons I want to teach people are all lessons that she has helped me learn.
The perspective my readers will be in will be as if they are my friend and I am telling them what has just happened to me and how I can give advice and prepare them for something similar to what has happened. I want the readers to know how scary anxiety is and essentially what it is. Many people don’t realize how powerful it is. It consumes your body and mind and makes you fear everything. You are constantly thinking the worst and that alone is such a horrible feeling to experience. I want the tone to seesaw up and down, going from a part of my scary experience to a segment on building yourself back up so my tone will be sad then uplifting and so on. The tone is important because it is how I felt when I went through anxiety. I felt bad one day and when I had a good day and felt hope, the next day would be horrible again and I’d lose all the hope I had gained yesterday. It is very much like a seesaw because your emotions are highs and low and you are trying so hard to just stay balanced.

I couldn't agree with you more...bad times do not discriminate. Everyone experiences bad times...the young, the old, people from Europe, people from Australia, etc.,etc. I hope you enjoy writing your paper and that you like the end result.
