The first time I saw myself as a different person was 6th grade. The choices I made. The people I was with. They changed who I was. But after a while, you start to wonder why you are doing this. Staying. I was lucky enough to get a fresh start, but most people are not as fortunate. Life throws the bad at you. It is your job to find the good. And with that fresh start, became someone who wanted to change things not just for them, but for others. I know that through those rough times even just a smile made me feel happier. No one should endure what I went through. But I know that some people do. They even endure worse. But my experience made me the person I am today. I always search for a way to make people smile. A smile can be the difference between life and death.
