In the past， I thought I was terrible at many things， such as math， French and science． Although I was good at drawing， I wasn't the best in my art class．I wanted to find out who I was，what I liked and how I could do it better．So， that winter，I took a notebook and kept my diary． When I filled that notebook，I started another one， and then another．

   Keeping a diary helps a lot． Studies have shown that people who keep a diary sleep and feel better． It helps people remember what once happened such as dreams， friendships and happiness． Writing about bad feelings can also help brains get over themand move on． Personally， I learn better about myself and my relationships with others by keeping a diary．For example，when I am fighting with my dad， I'll try writing from his point and it works! If I want to compare myself with my classmates．I'll write something like，"I might not have clear skin， but I like my eyes．"

   Right about now， you might be thinking： it sounds great， but I'm not a good writer； or I'd love to keep a diary， but my handwriting is terrible． Don't worry! Keeping a diary is not like doing your homework ﹣there are no rules， so do whatever feels best．
