I'd want to believe that good things are sure to happen, but I've always been fairly pessimistic, always expecting the worse. It may be a worse way to live, but I find it difficult to see things through rose-tinted glasses. I mean, nothing changes if nothing changes, and if we allow all of these catastrophic and despicable events to occur, such as continuing the descent of the effects of climate change or simply denying Indigenous people access to clean water because no one cares enough makes it difficult to believe that anyone in power will ever try or succeed in championing these issues of the many issues, and thus these horrible things will just continue to happen.

I would most definitely say I'm a leftist, and in most political situations, I am usually near the complete end of the spectrum. When it comes to social issues, I'm definitely a firm advocate of teaching CRT and how intersectionality affects different people in our society, some more affected by the issues caused by white supremacy. I personally love taking time to watch video essays on YouTube to help educate myself on issues like how the right weaponized minorities against each other to ban affirmative action in the U.S. and whatnot. Environmentally, I'm very for the environment; I've signed petitions to stop the structure of certain oil pipelines (though I'm unsure of what happened because I couldn't find any news on it), and I'm a firm believer in treating the land respectfully. The harm that deforestation, overfishing, fracking, and more have on the environment will be irreparable, and those effects have already started to happen.

I think one of the main external factors that I can talk about and that affected me was feeling different or left out and having to jump from friend group to friend group. I have very vivid memories of being bullied in my neighbourhood as well as being unable to make friends in many of the extracurriculars I was involved in, leaving me to eventually quit the activity. While I'm still confused as to why I was left out, I feel it was because I just didn't really get social cues or social norms and struggled to have commonalities with my peers. I feel like this has left me with the feeling that I'll never find someone who understands me and that my friends will just leave me, eventually making me engage in self-destructive behaviours like self-isolating and not talking to anyone or constantly feeling guilty hanging out with my friends because I may ruin something by being sad.

I'd say the main internal factors that affected me were quite literally internal factors, like in my brain. I've always been an anxious person, but my anxiety only got worse as I got older, leading me to get diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. While I'd say anxiety has messed up a lot of things in my life for me, leading to depressive episodes as well, I feel like it also makes me more cautious and considerate in situations where I may have overlooked an aspect. Of course,  this is not to say I'm better at being anxious, but just that there are upsides to the enormous amount of downsides, and the upsides may indeed make me treat other people better.

I struggle a lot with motivation, and so even though I would consider myself to be a passionate person, I've lost interest in many of my passions. Some of my talents include music, as I play the saxophone and am also in my school band. So far, I've been playing for about a year and a half, though I struggle with balancing my practice with my schoolwork. I also skateboard and rollerblade. I'm not extremely proficient at skateboarding, but I can go places on it, I can do a couple of tricks, and on rollerblades, I'm definitely better due to my history with figure skating, though it's much scarier on concrete. Also, this may not necessarily be a talent, but I do well in school, as my grade 9 average was around 94–95, with my best subjects being French, business, and math.

Pretty much all of my strengths mentioned in my MBTI and Colour results were true. For the MBTI test, I got the INFJ personality type, and for the colour personality test, I got green. Both personality types had similar traits. For example, I would consider myself creative, passionate, and analytical. I've also been known by some of my friends for being insightful and analytical.
