This was the start of my life and is probably the most important thing that has/happened to me.

This taught me how to be patient and have sportsmanship and be happy for the other team when we lost our games. Vollyball was a big part of my life at that time which has grown me into the person I am today. Vollyball did this because after all he tears,stress,and sweat I never gave up no matter what anyone said and I always knew there was room for improvement and never gave up.

We begged my dad to keep a puppy that his friend couldn't take care of and after a minute of puppy eyes and begging with my sisters he said yes. My dog has helped me though many hard times and ha created memories with me that will last forever. He's taught me some things as well for example to be patient and not take you anger out on others and to think about how they feel.

Me and my friends would always go to the park right by my house and hang out as a group. This would make us closer and have fun as kids. I would learn friendship and the ability to have fun even at your lowest because for my friends those times may have been just messing around at the park but for me it was a chance to get out of my house and have no worries about life and just laugh.

My grandpa died a while ago and it took a huge impact on me. There were many days of just crying and praying just to let me talk to him one last time and looking back on our past memories and how we could of made more if he lasted just a little longer. After years had past it was his birthday and that was the day we decided to let go and light a paper lantern in the sky to represent letting go and to honor him.

I grew up thinking why cant girls do the same things as boys and be made fun of for it. I forced myself to hate putting my hair up and hate wearing or even looking at the color pink. I dressed in all boy clothes and didn't care for girl stuff like makeup or dresses. This taught me its okay to be yourself and not care about what others think.

me and my best friend have known each other since 7th grade but conflict happened and we stopped being friends and she moved schools. On the first day of freshmen year I saw her in my last class and went up to her and started talking more over time. We've grew and grew becoming unseperable and I wouldn't be the person I am today without he. Shes been there for the good and bad times and has taught me its okay to be yourself and it better to be. I've embraced my weirdness with her.

In 7-8th grade I didn't care what I was at that time and was friends with the so called "weird kids" to the point I became one. Everyone would look at me weird and joke around about me but in reality I was just a little girl who enjoyed having fun. Being somewhat bullied taught me to have respect for yourself as a person and to never change even if your being bullied for it because who are they to tell you what to be when they themselves act that way because they are "popular" or "pretty"

I've always been excluded from my middle school friends groups to where I would see them post themselves hanging out while I'm laying in bed alone. So this friend group was the best and first I've ever been included in. We would hang out everyday and always be there laughing with each other to he point people though me and one of my friends were dating. This friend group was the main reason why freshmen year was my favorite year in highschool and always will be because I was free.

I started getting more into makeup and embracing my feminine side which made me closer to my sisters to relate to one another. I found myself thinking "I'm pretty" and gaming self confidence as a person who's been bullied for her looks her whole life. This has made me able to look at myself in the mirror everyday and say "your beautiful and you are worthy"
