This past year I have grown so much as a person, and learned a lot more about who I am. I met amazing lifelong friends that have all come from different backgrounds and they have given me new perspectives on life. They have encouraged me to work on my strengths and step outside my comfort zone to try new things and be more confident. I have become more mature and started “adulting” and learning how to live on my own, while still asking for help when needed. I have learned what I want in life and what is actually important and what really doesn’t matter. The memories and people and things learned are way more important than most other things.

I really didn’t have expectations for the year, as I really didn’t know what to expect, but looking back I’m happy with where I ended up. Even though there were rough times, it led to where I am today.
