What are three facts about you that not many people know?

  1. I have been a victim of bullying in the past and present
  2. Growing up, I loved skateboarding, it was my thing and I was pretty good at it.
  3. In elementary school, I had to be dismissed from class everyday because I needed extra help with my reading & vocabulary; so I would spend time in a separate class with 4-5 other children my age to work on my bettering my reading skills.

365 days of self discovery: Day 37

10.09.18

What makes you proud?

  • Excelling at something that was either challenging or I had self doubt about. When my youngest brother who is 10 years of age is doing well in school and/or in his sports & watching him grow into his own person. It makes me proud when I see the world evolving where things are becoming more equal & people are becoming more open minded, while we still have a long ways go, we have come quite far from where we have been.
