There have been multiple events from my past that could paint the picture of the kind of person I am. However, freshman year sticks out to me as to why and how I am, who I am.
I had high expectations/ hopes for my high school years. I was left worried for the next 3 years of high school.
2019 was so far the worst year of my life. It changed my mindset towards society, this high school, and about myself.
Coming into Delcastle with his expectations, but just ended up getting the worst. I was manipulated, lied to, bullied, it was hard picking the positives out of this high school. Even the things that made me happy in 9th grade lost their spark real quick. I was naive in Freshman year.
I became the type of person who overthinks, has anxiety and gets overwhelmed by the littlest things. Someone who has to be perfect in school, in dance, even in my personal life. Someone so negative about themselves and the world around them.
Now looking forward, I hope events in the future can change my mindset of not always thinking about being a perfectionist.
However, after 2019, I figured out what my issues were. How it started, and why I felt that way. It took me two years to finally get a grasp of who I am, what were my strengths and weaknesses.
My friends were a part of what shaped me today. Friends I made in high school and even through middle school, the type of relationship I gained with them. How they helped me through the journey of recovering from 9th grade.
I can progress more than I already have. They will shape me into the person I want to be.
