Ever since I was little I didn't really have any close friends so that made me really shy and lonely. My family is really into politics during November. There is a lot of arguing and "i told you's." Let's just say I hate November.Being really shy I became an independent worker. I hated working with groups because nobody would listen to me or they wouldn't work. I met one of my best friends in 5th grade and she showed me this book called The Lightning Thief: By Rick Riordan and I loved it. I became a bookworm and by looking at these nobodies become someone I gained confidence in myself. I starting participating in things (even though I still don't really like working in groups) and started talking to people and I became happier. I started watching YouTubers and became extremely aware to animal cruelty. I became vegetarian and I am still to this day and I find it really annoying and rude when people say "But they're so good!" or "I'm gonna make your parents put meat in your food." I'm also a humanist. I don't like that people don't except others. Things like that aren't gonna make peace they are only gonna make hate. This thoughts formed me into a more excepting person but that's not how it started. Because my parents argued a lot, my great grandma died, I was lonely, and I saw the cruelty of the world I became depressed. I stopped doing things I loved, I only wanted to be inside, and I wasn't eating right. I would read as a distraction so I wouldn't do anything to myself. After a about two years I met my best friend and they made me happy. I don't want others to feel the same way as me so I became a humanist. My dream in life is to make people more nice. Some people might see that as an unrealistic dream but I don't care. All these things formed me into what I think is a better person.
