It wasn’t an acceptable answer for either part of the question, but past age five, I couldn’t even answer with that sarcastic response, because my whole family wouldn’t be together again.

amazing my eighth grade year was. Over the years, I’ve meet many people. Some had a huge negative effect on my life, and some helped me greatly in the process of becoming a better person. Because Zoe helps me when I’m feeling down, she’s the best support system I currently have, and she understands how I feel, I’m glad Zoe is a positive person in my life and helped me become the person I am today.
