Sophomore year was off to a rough start. To begin with, my old friend group split up leaving me in the dust. Their loss. I was alone most of the time depending on my team friends, the girls that do gymnastics with me, to hang out with. I have plenty of school friends, but outside of school, we don’t even talk. I was getting annoyed of the hierarchical society at RMHS, and believed I was the only one that saw it. Wrong. I later found a whole group of stunning friends that believed in me and had similar views. “Wow, this is amazing” was the thought circling around my head every time I was with these sweet damsels. These girls were so wonderful, they even wanted to attend my next gymnastics meet! Luckily for them, and me, they could not attend my competition at Hersey High school due to the white fog that has surrounded the whole Chicago tri-state area, a blizzard. The bus left at 4:15, like every other meet so far. Little did I know this meet was going to be different. As I walked into the bright orange gym, looking to the stands to …show more content…

I took a negative situation and converted it to a positive. Being told by many more superior than I, “my competition season was over”, caused a spark to ignite inside of me. The spark led to my determination to prove them wrong- future lawyer right here!. Truly the only person that could decide my fate would be me, and I disagreed with all those who declared I couldn’t. Originally despair clouded my view on life, later realizing I put that sadness around me, I altered my view and began embracing the negative. From the sadness of being dumped by my besties, to breaking my leg, I realized that these struggles don’t define me, the way I boomerang back does.

It all began after my first semester here at A&M. I was somewhat disappointed because I had hoped to meet lots of new people and make new friends but that wasn’t exactly the case.

As I got older I realized that life is a long journey that is continuously changing, full of incidents and experiences that force us to evolve and uncover a true understanding of ourselves. Making the decision to give up dance, a passion that had once provided me happiness but then had eventually taken a toll on my mental health, was for me one of the most crucial turning points in my life and has given me a major realization about making important decisions myself. It took courage and readiness to accept change to give up dancing. I learned from it that sometimes letting go of the familiar can lead to brand new possibilities and opportunities of the future. I was able to approach life with a more adaptable and open mindset because of this

I wasn’t afraid to tell people what my opinion was about them or their ideas. I wasn’t afraid to find common interests with new friends and share my experience stories with them. More importantly, to me at least, I wasn’t afraid to talk about: my depression, my anxiety or even my bipolar and the feelings of ups and downs that those ‘illnesses’ had put the emotions and mental state I have through. “Everything changes when you arrive at HIgh School,” and, “it’ll be the best years of your life,” I’ve even heard, “you’re going to miss being in school.” I will tell you that while I will miss the three friends I have here in High School, I’m never going to miss the resentment and self hatred that followed my soul all through the first semester of Freshman year that I’m still working through.

Junior year was not the easiest year of high school especially since I had to learn new skills and techniques to turn in my work without it being a mess. I knew that junior year was a significant year, because of the numerous amounts of assignments, quizzes, and tests that were going to be given to the students. Knowing this, I had two choices: I had to abandon the world of procrastination or become the person that some students are in high school, careless and disobedient to what was given or said to them. Even though I knew junior year was not going to be an easy year, I entered thinking that I was fully prepared for anything that I would come face to face with.
