Thank you so much for ebing part of my grammar group. You always had the sweetest things to say and it made me feel better about my writing. I think you should 100% pursue art and you need to know that through your art you can leave your shyness. Show your parents how passionate you are about it and they will listen.

Ingris

Abner

2021-07-24 21:45:55 UTC

I don’t truly know what I want to be yet in life. Hearing your story of how you felt you had a calling to become an architect was really interesting to me. I never really had that calling. Thank you for your sharing your story.

Santiago

Diana L

2021-07-24 21:47:40 UTC

I think we can all realte to feeling isolated. I too came when I was already a bit older so IK how difficult it is to do this journey when you just want to enjoy life as a kid. These years are crucial for children and this journey has made you stronger.

Santiago

2021-07-24 21:47:40 UTC

I don't know where to start but all i can say is that we have a lot in common. from working outside to having the same experiences. Just remember that you can do anything you put you mind into.

2021-07-24 21:47:44 UTC

I’m happy you felt comfortable telling us your story

Vanessa (:

2021-07-24 21:47:45 UTC

I know the difficulties of opening up about a vulnerable side of us, but i admire your courage! Know that you will always have people to count on, feel free to reach out if you ever need someone to talk to!

Ingris

2021-07-24 21:47:46 UTC

I love how your mom is your superhero, the fact that you were willing to move to a whole different state at such a young age is amazing i personally dont think i would be able to do it.

Abner

2021-07-24 21:47:48 UTC

Hearing you talk about how your not really open and you make everyone think that your okay really resonated with me. Sometimes I feel so broken inside but I don’t share it. Sharing a little bit about me with ISH peers was really helpful. Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable. You got this!!

2021-07-24 21:47:49 UTC

I really enjoyed hearing your essay. You could see and hear how emotional your story makes you. It really adds to your character and how strong you are.

Diana L

2021-07-24 21:49:28 UTC

2021-07-24 21:51:44 UTC

this whole experience was amazing. This program has taught me so much. The other student here where also all amazing, they all let their emotions out and really just expressed them selves. Thanks to this program I know feel more confident in myself and who I truly am.

Ingris

2021-07-24 21:52:13 UTC

Victor P.

2021-07-24 21:52:30 UTC

Diana L

2021-07-24 21:52:45 UTC

2021-07-24 21:52:50 UTC

I really liked your story keep up the good work!!

2021-07-24 21:53:14 UTC

I could honestly relate with so many things you've said during this week, I didn't think I could relate to someone so much.

2021-07-24 21:53:23 UTC

I love how positive you always are, as someone who is very optimistic is awesome to meet someone who is the same. Always remember t not give up, the lost of a loved one is very difficult so it is okay to feel down and saddened. Don't force yourself to be positive if you truly dont feel that way.

Diana M

2021-07-24 21:53:46 UTC

I enjoyed your peace signs XD
And your ability to be helpful to others through translating for them. I'm also the translator for my family :)

2021-07-24 21:55:01 UTC

2021-07-24 21:55:27 UTC

I loved hearing your story, it is inspiring to hear others speak and be vulnerable. Wish you the best of luck through your journey.

Michelle

2021-07-24 21:55:58 UTC

Thank you so much for teaching me that mental health is important that was a real eye opening. I've learn that vulnerability is a strength and not a weakness.

2021-07-24 21:56:13 UTC

i like how you mentioned sometimes it's alright to be vulnerable. you're a very strong person because you can express your emotions.

Ingris

2021-07-24 21:56:21 UTC

I know how it feels to work with your dad because i worked with my dad as a landscaper so I understand how you felt, you seem like such an amazing person dont ever stop being you !

Dani

2021-07-24 21:56:32 UTC

Ingris, you are so strong. Thank you for sharing your story with us and being vulnerable. Know that healing is a process, and takes time. I hope to see you grow and even watch one of your dance concerts. :) <3

Aroldo

2021-07-24 21:56:39 UTC

I admire the fact that you want to keep your brother's legacy up not just for him but also for you.

2021-07-24 21:57:31 UTC
