Some of them landed themselves into trouble. At the same time, some of them just decided to leave because they couldn 't live up to my personal expectation. Although i have built a very high wall to new people, a few of my friends have stood by their word. They are still my best friends and have been with me through the happy days and the sad. Kali and Tyler are my most genuine friends i have ever had.
Me and Tyler started from basic beginnings, starting off with a cool conversation which led to a daily meetup to talk about current events and society. After a while of just being acquaintances, I knew that he was someone to keep close. Our friendship continued to grow and after all of these years, we 've watched each other grow up.

High school could have went different for me if i didn’t make some of the good choices i made for myself. Once I became a junior, i knew exactly what i wanted to do with my life after i left high school. photography always grabbed my attention and some of my family members open a few doors for me.

    Existentialism: I was born on February 24, 1998. When I came into this life I already had four older brothers and a loving mother and father. Over the years I always had someone to look up to and admire as I continued to learn and grow. My brothers may not have always been the best examples in regards to the choices they made but they did their best to keep me on the right track for being the best person I could possibly be.

    As I walked through the front doors of Allentown Central Catholic High School, I felt a sudden rush of panic. Everything I had once seen and had once been familiar with in middle school quickly vanished into thin air.

I wasn’t scared of new faces, but rather new beginnings and experiences.…

    A dilemma that I faced, and still am facing is simply the decision about what I want to do with my life after my high school career. In my freshman year of high school my goal was simply to get through the year in one piece. I was forced to conform to my new environment and all the strict rules that came along with it. Along with that it was the sudden transition from being the "big dogs" as eighth graders at my middle school to being "fresh-meat" in my first year high school. With so much attention placed on me as a freshman like on the varsity basketball team, where I was constantly forced to prove my worth to the coach and the players, to stepping out of my comfort zone and performing in a mandatory play for the rest of the the school as…

    For as long as I can remember my life has been different from the lives of my classmates, as from a young age, I had to learn how to be responsible, independent, reliable, and accepting of others. For my entire life my dad has worked two jobs to support my mom and me, since my mom can not work and the cost of her therapies and medications is immense. For as long as I can remember I have always been willing to help my parents, whether it was my dad needing help cooking or my mom needing help walking, I have always made a point to make myself available whenever they may need help. My reliability and responsibility has transferred over to my extracurricular activities, because I have been a Chapter FFA Officer for three years, including being President this year.…

    One thing that I always hear about myself is how much of a balanced person I am. At first I thought this had to do with my physical ability to balance and that wasn't it. The balance that I identify with is the ability to balance time and effort between my academics, my athletics, and social life.

    We all listened to the same bands, loved the same teen heartthrob, and all had a similar personality. It took losing a core group of friends of mine transitioning into freshman year to show me that it’s okay to be your own person. I will say freshman year was a huge struggle for me to go through without being friends with the people that I had grown closest to in the 8th grade and years prior to 9th grade, but in the long run it has benefitted me more than I could have ever imagined that year.

I’m okay with spending time by myself just relaxing in my room or grabbing some lunch at bread co by myself when I can.…
