“It was interesting in high school seeing people that I’ve been friends with and lost connections with and gotten more or new connections with and just seeing everybody grow and how they’ve changed. I think change is an awesome thing. It’ s one of the best things. Change is good. I think change in anything, can be a real eye opener. I really do think that you experience from change. All stuff is supposed to happen, good things and bad things. I feel like high school’s purpose is mostly who you’ll be when you get out of it. Anything that happened two years ago? It was two years ago. You’ re a new person now. You can be a whole new person in 6 months. I think I put myself in other people’s shoes more now; instead of just jumping to conclusions or getting angry, I try to process and think about the situation. I care about myself but I’d never want other people to feel upset or sad.”
