Not being close to my family caused me to go towards my friends more and be closer to them. Best friend I have known since preschool I picked up on his funny and sometimes chaotic antics leading me to the humor and chaos I have in my personality today I rely heavily on my humor today to make friends, and it is all thanks to him]]> 2023-01-19 16:48:04 UTC https://padlet.com/tkarmilo/8cmnujvm4onjq1m5/wish/2450075482 tkarmilo https://padlet.com/tkarmilo/8cmnujvm4onjq1m5/wish/2450081122 The ending years of elementary school were when I started feeling insecure about myself as everyone was getting taller and bigger I began to fall behind and became a little scrump compared to everyone and that only continued to get worse after elementary school. In Middle School, I was very much in my shell and I was often bullied, the bullying made me more caring and daring though half the time my bullying was the result of my sticking up for others. It helped me be selfless and taught me my self-worth]]> 2023-01-19 16:52:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tkarmilo/8cmnujvm4onjq1m5/wish/2450081122 tkarmilo https://padlet.com/tkarmilo/8cmnujvm4onjq1m5/wish/2450083685 The Summer between High School and Middle School my parents sent me to a computer camp I thought I would hate but I met some of the greatest and best friends and people I ever would there. This camp brought me close to people and being part of a community for once and helped me feel comfortable in my own skin, it helped me be more confident in myself. I made a lot of friendships that will last a lifetime, and that I'll cherish and treat like my own family forever. My attitude and perception changed for the better making me a lot less insecure of myself and body]]> 2023-01-19 16:54:01 UTC https://padlet.com/tkarmilo/8cmnujvm4onjq1m5/wish/2450083685 tkarmilo https://padlet.com/tkarmilo/8cmnujvm4onjq1m5/wish/2450084798 2023-01-19 16:54:46 UTC https://padlet.com/tkarmilo/8cmnujvm4onjq1m5/wish/2450084798 tkarmilo https://padlet.com/tkarmilo/8cmnujvm4onjq1m5/wish/2454263528 The Beginning of High School was crazy the bullying did continue but I was less insecure and it didn't get to me as much I was even able to actually make a friend in freshman year and make 6 more in sophomore, one of them being my buddy Morgan the only friend that had the same dumb ideas as me. even creating a fake holiday for our friend group. this years before covid hit, allowed me to get a small grasp of being social life and understand myself and how others can be easier. I was still very socially awkward though but I took my first steps to ending that]]> 2023-01-24 07:14:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tkarmilo/8cmnujvm4onjq1m5/wish/2454263528 tkarmilo https://padlet.com/tkarmilo/8cmnujvm4onjq1m5/wish/2454268584 coming off of Covid and taking my first steps socially my parents wanted me to get out of the house and escape, so they sent me on a 2 week camping trip in Wyoming and Montana across the country by myself with complete strangers, this program by this thing called ARCC, was when my social awkwardness and social life started to come in to my own I made 10 new friends that I keep in contact with still to this and my best buddy from it and still, lives in California. I gained the confidence in talking to all kinds of people not just nerds like me. I learned that I can be friends with any one and they would actually might like me. I came back to school with 10 times more confidence than before and I was no longer as awkward socially as I was before I had my biggest improvement ever there.]]> 2023-01-24 07:21:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tkarmilo/8cmnujvm4onjq1m5/wish/2454268584 tkarmilo https://padlet.com/tkarmilo/8cmnujvm4onjq1m5/wish/2454277020 I thought my finally year of high school would be easy. I was wrong. the first 2 months were as normal, Classes all day and hanging out with my buddies everyday and watching Star Wars with Morgan. but then in November that's where things went south. My buddy Morgan and I were on the phone and made plans to Watch Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back. 2 hours after the call Morgan shot himself and committed suicide. My friend group blamed me for his death as I was the last one not in his family to talk to him, all but 2 of my friends abandoned me. I thought I knew loneliness before but this was way worse. I was in the worst mental state I have ever been in, but the struggle and pain taught and helped me change myself for the better. It is because of this I have a strict moral code, I even have my most important moral from it, that would never leave a friend for anything, to me the friends that stuck by me and new ones that will also stand by me will be my family. ]]> 2023-01-24 07:32:04 UTC https://padlet.com/tkarmilo/8cmnujvm4onjq1m5/wish/2454277020 tkarmilo https://padlet.com/tkarmilo/8cmnujvm4onjq1m5/wish/2454279585 College life has helped me find so many friends, and meet so many great people. I love the people I have here and I hang out with every day. I have truly found myself here and I will forever be grateful, I can't wait to see who I come out as in the end of this 4 excursion. ]]> 2023-01-24 07:34:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tkarmilo/8cmnujvm4onjq1m5/wish/2454279585
