I Am Not The Same Person That I Was A Year Ago

In my life I have had many changes in the past last year that have really been life altering. My main one is cutting my father out of my life. Some might say that is crazy and ridiculous but if you have been through what I have went through the past year with him you would do the same. He was alway harassing me on social media because i’m not calling him everyday. Which for a long time I just brushed it off my back but now that I have gotten older. I’m really just over it and i’m honestly more happier without him in my life. Another decision I

There isn’t much I can relate with other than when the people started to change. I personally feel like I have changed as an individual, it feels like I have changed due to the peers I have and my surroundings. When I come across an ignorant person that has no idea what I am talking about. Most of the time that person just stands there with a glazed look in their eyes, like they act like they car but truly don’t. Those are the people that I feel have changed me. They morphed how I feel towards people, I do not like talking to people for that reason. They act

In the past year, a lot has changed for me. I lost a grandfather to cancer, then a month later an uncle to a gruesome semi accident. My grandmother on the other side of the family barely remembers me due to alzheimer's, and my mom lost her job but is now working over 1300 miles away in Florida. If someone would have asked me at the start of my Junior year what I expected to happen, I wouldn’t have listed any of those. As anticipated, it was not easy dealing with a downfall of events like that, but the way I was raised helped me cope with it all. I started out at a small private school, where Religion was just as important as Math and English. How we were to act was drilled into us, and after I switched to public school, there was a noticeable

Since entering Havre middle school, I have noticed distinct changes in myself. Some people deals with all kinds of changes in life, but some people do not have to really deal with a lot of changes and stress. Some people have to deal with hard changes and some people have to deal with easy ones. Other people have to deal with stressful changes and some people do not. For instance, here are some of the changes I have to face:

A lot has changed since freshman year. I moved to Oak Ridge, so my father and I could be with the family. I switched to Oak Ridge High School and struggled tremendously, but most importantly, I made friends that needed me. Although my trust issues are still very much a problem for me, I’ve learned to cope with them by surrounding myself with people that I love. My heart continues to swell every time I

I decided to leave Bear River, and transfer to Box Elder High School. I was better for a couple weeks, but I found myself to be “out of place”, since many of the other students have made their friendships in grade school. Transferring back to Bear River my Junior year, still doing poorly in almost all aspects of my life; school, social groups, family, I felt like this world would be better without me, and I was ready to take a drastic, irreversible step. Fortunately, I did not go through with my plan, and I was diagnosed with depression. Soon after I was diagnosed; I tried to get back on track, to the best of my ability. I started participating more in groups, clubs, and organizations, and that is when I truly found out how much I loved Future Business Leaders of America, otherwise known as

After reflecting a little I thought about the many different things that happen to me since freshman year. Since freshman year I now understand and accept myself for how I am. During freshman year I was trying to figure out where I fit in at but now I understand I am not meant to fit it. What has also changed is the amount of people I surround myself with. At this moment I would say I have two real friends. It was a hard reality to me at first because I was so used to having a lot of friends. Another thing that changed was losing many family members and having to deal with pain. One thing I can say from losing my family members was it made me stronger. Something that I

Not many things in life stay the say anymore. You can expect one thing to happen but then all of a sudden its turns out totally different. There is a quote that kind of speaks to me from a movie called forest Gump “life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you’re going to get”. It’s so true but we as humans, we adapt we take on these changes and we adapt to them. I’m going tell you about a big change for me about seven years ago the move that changed many things for me.

How is your life different today from what you thought it would be like when you were in your early twenties?

When comparing my life and personality as a freshman to my current life, there are many differences. As a freshman, I was unmotivated and immature. Going into highschool, I wasn’t prepared or used to doing a lot of homework. In elementary and middle school I had been one of the smartest kids in my class, and school was easy. Then when I started 9th grade, I realized I actually had to put effort in my work, so I didn’t. Freshman year I was mean and rude to those around me, including my friends and teachers. I remember myself as loud and obnoxious, and I didn’t really care about other people’s feelings or how my actions would affect others. When I reflect on what I was like, I see myself as the few kids in my PGC group who don’t pay attention

These last few years have actually been the best years of my life. They were filled with success, new relationships, and happiness. My involvement at school and in my community had a major role in the above listed.

Looking back now, I wish I had listened to my mom's advice earlier than just my last year of high school. Senior year basically hit me like a brick. I started to miss how life used to be. I want to be hanging out with my friends. Going on random food trips and even just doing what I wanted in that exact moment. If I wanted some ice cream, why wouldn’t I just drive myself right away?

As a result of moving to a new town, making new friends, and living a different life style I have been shaped in to the person I am today. I wouldn’t have asked for any better way to grow up as a kid. I’ve learned so much about myself that I probably wouldn’t have if I still lived in Apple Valley. I’ve experienced new activities, such as hunting and hiking, and have made new friendships. I feel as if I have changed for the better and grew up into a great person. I believe that this all happened for a reason and I am so happy that I’ve been able to

In my life, I have been exposed to a challenge called change. Change can occur in many different ways and is dealt with in many different ways. I have come to the awareness that change can be the deepest of all things. I always thought that change occurred when you moved to a state or when you lost someone real close to you. Those are a challenge to change, yes, but change doesn’t have to occur over a climactic incident. It can just appear overnight when your brain winds up when it’s time to do something different. Even with friends that you used to have and know that move on. For example, most of my friends from elementary school, I don’t even talk to them anymore.

To some, four years seems like a long time, but for me the past four years have flown by. In these quick four years, so much has changed and yet so much is exactly the same. You still go to school with most of the same people. You walk into the same familiar building and say hello to most of the same teachers. During these four years I have lost some friends, but I have gained real ones, which is one of the most important things to me. My outlook on life has changed. I have become a more open and understanding person and I have learned many valuable life lessons. I have made many great memories and I have learned to appreciate everything I have because nothing is permanent. My journey through high school is like a plane ride. It takes off freshman year and I go on a long, and sometimes bumpy, journey to get to my final destination. Even though in many ways I am still the same person as the one that walked through those school doors as a freshman, I have also changed in order to try to become the best version of myself and get to my final destination.
