I’ve been through a lot over the last 17 years. I was really young, maybe 2 or 3 years old, and I didn’t make sentences. I didn’t make any friends, but I kept having a strong and powerful heart. Over the next six years, I kept going to therapy appointments and getting advised how to speak full sentences properly, without hesitation.
Although socially struggling in the elementary school phrase, the high school phase was better!
In Secondary 3, when I started to take the bus prominently, I met a Swedish exchange student who approached my during lunch on the first day of Sec 3. Thanks to her, I made a lot of good friends. We had a blast together. I also joined the Performing Arts concentration due to a desire to having and making new friends and my love of acting! We performed “The Murder Club” in Sec 3, “Shrek the Musical” in Sec 4, and “The Greatest Showcase” in Sec 5. Thanks to those connected friendships, I progressed through Sec 3 to 4 to 5 (where I graduated in 2023) before going to college.
I’ll never forget the cherished memories that I love.
