    A place that I hold dear is a little town on the panhandle of Florida in an area known as The Forgotten Coast called Mexico Beach. I have gone there every summer, staying for at least a week, since I was four years old. It is a place of tradition for my family because my mother vacationed there for the first time when she was four years old, too. I have come to love this place, not because it’s some epic fantasy vacation, but more because of what it represents to me. Mexico Beach is a place where each summer, for more than half of my life, I have spent every waking moment enjoying real quality family time.…

Being bullied for something I couldn't control led me to make decisions I wish I had never made.…
