has and still is teaching me a lot about myself that I previously hadn’t put much thought in. In the beginning of the year when we were asked who we are most like, Apollo or Dionysus, I struggled and still struggle to pick one over the other. I see myself in both of these Gods. Like Apollo, I’m very analytical with my decision making. I use the pro’s and con’s method of choosing so I can chose what direction is best for me rather than where “my heart” tells me to go. I value order, structure,…

Adversity is a noun that I am no stranger to. At the age of 11, I became very ill with Scarlet Fever. It was the summer of my 6th-grade year and I was looking forward to Middle School.
