1 Life events can shape and change who you are, without these things happening, I definitely wouldn’t be who I am. The first event that had a big impact was my parents getting divorced when I was six. Then, the next thing was when I changed schools going into sixth grade. I had gone to three other schools before, but this one was different for me. Last, and most importantly, is when I met my best friend. There is another event that made me the way I am, but I do not talk about it. Only a few people know anything about it.
2 In 2009 my mom and dad got divorced. My little brother was only three and I was six. A little while before we had gone on a trip to San Diego, California. It was supposed to be a family trip, but a little …show more content…
In fifth grade my brother and I rode a taxi to and from school every day. Then, the day before school started in sixth grade, we went and registered at Iona Elementary. We were having a substitute teacher for the first while in school, because our teacher, Mrs. Green was on bedrest due to her baby she was going to have. I walked in quickly found my seat and looked down, hopping no one would see me. I WAS very shy and quiet. I had gone to three other schools before this, they didn’t affect me. Everyone wanted to talk to me at this school, and wanted to get to know me, this shy girl who didn’t want anyone to notice she was there. That day we played get to know you games, and everyone was paying attention, I felt like I was going to suffocate right there. Later in the day a guy came in late, I’ll talk about him in the next event, but that may have been one of the most important things. I was shy for a few more days and then, I actually made friends. I’d never been popular, or the girl everyone wants to talk to, but it was different here. Everything …show more content…
Things had been really hard for a couple of years at this point. I really just wanted to give up. I barely smiled, talked, or really did anything. I was doing things I really shouldn’t have been doing at all. He came in late to school that first day. I had no idea he would be this important to me, but he’s been the most important thing that’s ever happened to me. He is my best friend. His name is Kaleb. The first day of sixth grade, I’ll be honest, he came in and I couldn’t stop staring. Everyone knew him and was talking to him. It was a while before I talked to him, it was about a fourth of the way through the year. But, when I did start talking to him, I found I didn’t want to stop the conversation. I was able to actually talk to him. He was the first person I trusted in years. I have no idea how, but he opened me up. He helped me to really be me. He is the reason I am me. He made me realize a lot. He got me to smile without trying, he made me laugh, he helped me through things that I’d been having to go through alone, he didn’t judge me, and he did something really amazing, he looked through everything I was putting on, the fake smile, the fake laugh, and he made them become real. He didn’t look at me like I was a kicked puppy or any differently after he found out all the things that I was going through. People still to this day, if they find out some of the things they always end up treating me
