My Experience In My Life

“Being different isn’t a bad thing. It means you’re brave enough to be yourself.” All of us, humans, go through our own experiences and no one can do that for us. Those experiences make us who we truly are, and what we’re set out to be. This is my story… I was born in Marshalltown, Iowa. My parents lived in Tama, Iowa and after a year we moved to West Union. After 6 months, they moved to Ridgeway, since then I’ve been living in Ridgeway. My first five years of my life I was usually home alone on weekdays because both of my parents worked. Occasionally my uncle would be home from work so some days he would watch me. When I first started Kindergarten, I didn’t know any English, neither did my parents. I grew up speaking only Spanish. It was

That’s how I became a germ freak. I always had hand sanitizer in my pocket, in my backpack basically everywhere. When a boy would tell me he likes me. I would always end up running away. If someone borrowed my pencil I would clean it. I was the biggest germaphobe ever.
I grew up with a notebook, a book, and my favorite pen as my best friends. Next thing you know I’m going to middle school. New school. New people. The first day of school I had my book, notebook, and my pen. People would ask what was I writing about when class hasn’t started. I never answered them… I just kept writing my thoughts away.

Towards the end of the year, a guy in my reading class asked me, “Brandy would you go out with Mike?” I said no. It’s a good thing I did because later I heard it was a prank. Like usual, many of my classmates disliked me because I always had my homework

He’s has motivated me to become a better me. He’s pushed me to quit drinking so much, to quit cutting myself, and to start eating again. He may not realize it but I’m doing all these changes so I can become the best I can be... I never thought I would ever find someone who motivates me to do better and push me out of my comfort zone. I always thought I didn’t make a difference but with him I feel like I do make a difference. He’s made me realize everyone has a purpose in this world. You may not know it at first. I was in a bad place and slowly he pulled me out. Currently, he still is fixing me. Some times when I am alone I think if it wasn’t for him… I probably wouldn’t even be sitting at school typing this paper. I know I shouldn’t depend on him so much, but he’s worth the
