“Most people wouldn’t know from first glance that I’m actually a really chill person. They’d probably think I’m some outcast or loner with no friends and that’s what I thought I would be in school, but then I actually met really great people that I can now call my friends. My greatest memories are hanging and getting snacks with my friends along with going to Horror Nights every year with my family. Someone who has biggest influenced me in my life was my mom because she’s always supported me and taught me to be kind and to work hard. From her, I learned that even when things are tough, you’ll be able to overcome them. Some difficulties I had to face for school was trying to turn work in on time along with doing homework that teachers assigned, but what I am most proudest about myself is my strength because even if when times are tough and I make mistakes, I can learn from them and grow from them instead of giving up along with my kindness that I use to help others and to support them.”
