    Everyone has challenges in their life and mine were speech and depression. From preschool to second grade I had to take “special” classes because my English was far more behind than everyone else’s.

    What high school has taught me about being a person is that you have to do things when they are given to you. Don’t wait on things to finish by themselves, because they won’t and before you know it your falling behind and everyone is on you asking constantly if your going to graduate or not. I used to be a very quiet person, like overtime I went to school as a younger person my teachers would often think that there was something wrong with me and told my parents they think that I am “special” like I needed classes for kids with disabilities. But this was not true, I just would never talk to you unless I got comfortable. But high school has taught me that this world if not for people who keep quiet, and that to make it you need to talk to people or you will be left behind. And this just comes to me as a senior, I wish this new me came a lot more sooner. I feel like if I was who I am today is way better than who I was just a year ago.

It was like someone taking a piece of you away, but the piece they took away from me was a big one. I was angry, sad, worried, and wondering how on Earth people get through something like this.
