    My step-dad and I have never been able to see eye to eye on many things so seeing my mom marry him was a step back because I knew the bond with her and I would distance even more but it also many me stronger independently cause I realize I can’t rely on people to work in my favor all the time.
  • Getting Accepted to College

    In the first years of high school I struggled majorly with grades no matter what I did but the last couple years I haven’t stopped trying and I have increased my grades so much that I was able to get into all my dream colleges and program. It showed me that I can pretty much do anything I want as aslong as I stay dedicated.
