My values personal knowledge beliefs and views across certain things areinfluenced by my
background and several life experiences. Things such as myparents, where I grew up, and my
family dynamic was things that shaped me as aperson. I also had many hobbies as a child that
influenced my opinions which inturn influenced the type of person I became as an adult.My
values and personal knowledge and belief are deeply rooted in the life Igrew up with. I grew
up in what many would call a broken home. I had divorcedparents for my entire life And we
lived in a fairly rough part of New York for themajority of my life. These experiences have
shaped me as a person. Along withthe loss of my father. Growing up in a single-parent
household, In my opinion,makes you see the economy and people's struggles within families
very prevalentfrom a very young age.do you wanna starting Things that weren't always
howthey were supposed to be or the picture-perfect family? I have an older brotherdiagnosed
with autism before I was even born. That already was a lot to deal with.As a young child. But
on top of that, I was very much stuck in the middle of myparent's divorce. My dad would never
want to see me. My mom would alwayswant him to get. To see me and try and get him to get
custody of me. And overall,just a very sticky situation, Irving, my parent's relationship with
each other,therefore affecting my relationship with both of my parents. Then, as I got older,
Ibecame more aware of the money issues. Growing up my family, was between mymom's
medical bills for my brother and me and herself. Along with trying to payrent, get her kids to
school, and still put food on the table. This put me in a very different position than other kids I
knew growing up. I didn't know very manyother less fortunate kids than myself, and it was
very isolating for many yearsgrowing up. I also grew up as an LGBT person and a place that
was mostlyaccepting until the move to Texas, where things started not working out well forme
as a queer person. This led to bullying in middle school before I transferred tohomeschooling
due to unrelated events. Looking back at these circumstances Ibelieve I've become a more
open-minded and patient person to others because Iknow what it's like to be ostracised. I did,
however, love to read as a child. I usedto read any and any book I could pick up at the library.
I grew up mainly beinginfluenced by characters and stories. Heroes and people who did so
much goodfor the world, even when they didn't always have such a perfect life forthemselves.
I related a lot as a kid to these people. And I knew that even though Iwasn't in a great situation.
I could still help people. These experiences have givenme. a lot of values and beliefs when it
comes to a lot of values and beliefs when itcomes to many things. I think society can be very
cruel to those who are not likeeveryone else. Society has deep-rooted beliefs, even if people
don't share thosebeliefs in society. But it is very deeply rooted within it. I think this makes for
avery toxic cycle of people looking up to people who don't even exist, causenobody is who
society wants them to be. But many people pretend. I think societyhas become very shallow.
Instead of making a difference and letting people knowthat they aren't alone. It pushes people
down further. Pushes this belief that if youare not like everyone else, you are alone. And you're
not like me, and I don't likethat. I think it's extremely toxic and doesn't have any room for
growth within these deep-rooted systems. This never plays into the thought about how
childrengrew up, what their relationships with the people around them are, or what they'vedone
to be where they are. I also think that as a species, humans need to beinterconnected with each
other, sharing communities and spaces. Things andactivities that they enjoy. And with these
prevalent deep stigmatizations withinsociety, no one can have the community that they want.
We can't be as integratedas we need to be. As I've gotten older, I very much valued the aspect
ofCommunity. Simultaneously also appreciating that within communities, there areno people
who. Do not like you just because of who you are. Of course, there arepeople against anyone
for doing anything, but I think within smaller communitieswe thrive as people. I developed
through my young adult years. Better forms ofcommunication to help me further these values?
That means a lot to me. Now asan adult, I think I am different than other people I know. I feel
that I'm becomingthe adult I always wanted to be. Now that I'm older I've grown a ton I've
becomethe role model that I think I wish I had as a child. These events have made me, inmy
opinion, a good person and I'm very proud of how I became as an adult.In conclusion, different
experiences such as my background how I was raised,and where I was raised have shaped my
values my beliefs, and how I view things,especially society. I’ve become so patient and open-
minded along with growingup to be an adult that I know my children can grow up and view
me as a rolemodel for them. Society can be very cruel and unjust towards others, but at theend
of the day we do create our society we are the society that pushes pressureupon people. Life
experiences can give us the motivation and effort to make the change we need happen. We can
make the necessary steps to change things andhave society view people in different ways. My

very prevalentfrom a very young age.do you wanna starting Things that weren't always
howthey were supposed to be or the picture-perfect family? I have an older brotherdiagnosed
with autism before I was even born. That already was a lot to deal with.As a young child. But
on top of that, I was very much stuck in the middle of myparent's divorce. My dad would never
want to see me. My mom would alwayswant him to get. To see me and try and get him to get
custody of me. And overall,just a very sticky situation, Irving, my parent's relationship with
each other,therefore affecting my relationship with both of my parents. Then, as I got older,
Ibecame more aware of the money issues. Growing up my family, was between mymom's
medical bills for my brother and me and herself. Along with trying to payrent, get her kids to
school, and still put food on the table. This put me in a very different position than other kids I
knew growing up. I didn't know very manyother less fortunate kids than myself, and it was
very isolating for many yearsgrowing up. I also grew up as an LGBT person and a place that
was mostlyaccepting until the move to Texas, where things started not working out well forme
as a queer person. This led to bullying in middle school before I transferred tohomeschooling
due to unrelated events. Looking back at these circumstances Ibelieve I've become a more
open-minded and patient person to others because Iknow what it's like to be ostracised. I did,
however, love to read as a child. I usedto read any and any book I could pick up at the library.
I grew up mainly beinginfluenced by characters and stories. Heroes and people who did so
much goodfor the world, even when they didn't always have such a perfect life forthemselves.
I related a lot as a kid to these people. And I knew that even though Iwasn't in a great situation.
I could still help people. These experiences have givenme. a lot of values and beliefs when it
comes to a lot of values and beliefs when itcomes to many things. I think society can be very
cruel to those who are not likeeveryone else. Society has deep-rooted beliefs, even if people
don't share thosebeliefs in society. But it is very deeply rooted within it. I think this makes for
avery toxic cycle of people looking up to people who don't even exist, causenobody is who
society wants them to be. But many people pretend. I think societyhas become very shallow.
Instead of making a difference and letting people knowthat they aren't alone. It pushes people
down further. Pushes this belief that if youare not like everyone else, you are alone. And you're
not like me, and I don't likethat. I think it's extremely toxic and doesn't have any room for
growth within these deep-rooted systems. This never plays into the thought about how
childrengrew up, what their relationships with the people around them are, or what they'vedone
to be where they are. I also think that as a species, humans need to beinterconnected with each
other, sharing communities and spaces. Things andactivities that they enjoy. And with these
prevalent deep stigmatizations withinsociety, no one can have the community that they want.
We can't be as integratedas we need to be. As I've gotten older, I very much valued the aspect
ofCommunity. Simultaneously also appreciating that within communities, there areno people
who. Do not like you just because of who you are. Of course, there arepeople against anyone
for doing anything, but I think within smaller communitieswe thrive as people. I developed
through my young adult years. Better forms ofcommunication to help me further these values?
That means a lot to me. Now asan adult, I think I am different than other people I know. I feel
that I'm becomingthe adult I always wanted to be. Now that I'm older I've grown a ton I've
becomethe role model that I think I wish I had as a child. These events have made me, inmy
opinion, a good person and I'm very proud of how I became as an adult.In conclusion, different
experiences such as my background how I was raised,and where I was raised have shaped my
values my beliefs, and how I view things,especially society. I’ve become so patient and open-
minded along with growingup to be an adult that I know my children can grow up and view
me as a rolemodel for them. Society can be very cruel and unjust towards others, but at theend
of the day we do create our society we are the society that pushes pressureupon people. Life
experiences can give us the motivation and effort to make the change we need happen. We can
make the necessary steps to change things andhave society view people in different ways. My
values personal knowledge beliefs and views across certain things areinfluenced by my
background and several life experiences. Things such as myparents, where I grew up, and my
family dynamic was things that shaped me as aperson. I also had many hobbies as a child that
influenced my opinions which inturn influenced the type of person I became as an adult.My
values and personal knowledge and belief are deeply rooted in the life Igrew up with. I grew
up in what many would call a broken home. I had divorcedparents for my entire life And we
lived in a fairly rough part of New York for themajority of my life. These experiences have

Ibecame more aware of the money issues. Growing up my family, was between mymom's
medical bills for my brother and me and herself. Along with trying to payrent, get her kids to
school, and still put food on the table. This put me in a very different position than other kids I
knew growing up. I didn't know very manyother less fortunate kids than myself, and it was
very isolating for many yearsgrowing up. I also grew up as an LGBT person and a place that
was mostlyaccepting until the move to Texas, where things started not working out well forme
as a queer person. This led to bullying in middle school before I transferred tohomeschooling
due to unrelated events. Looking back at these circumstances Ibelieve I've become a more
open-minded and patient person to others because Iknow what it's like to be ostracised. I did,
however, love to read as a child. I usedto read any and any book I could pick up at the library.
I grew up mainly beinginfluenced by characters and stories. Heroes and people who did so
much goodfor the world, even when they didn't always have such a perfect life forthemselves.
I related a lot as a kid to these people. And I knew that even though Iwasn't in a great situation.
I could still help people. These experiences have givenme. a lot of values and beliefs when it
comes to a lot of values and beliefs when itcomes to many things. I think society can be very
cruel to those who are not likeeveryone else. Society has deep-rooted beliefs, even if people
don't share thosebeliefs in society. But it is very deeply rooted within it. I think this makes for
avery toxic cycle of people looking up to people who don't even exist, causenobody is who
society wants them to be. But many people pretend. I think societyhas become very shallow.
Instead of making a difference and letting people knowthat they aren't alone. It pushes people
down further. Pushes this belief that if youare not like everyone else, you are alone. And you're
not like me, and I don't likethat. I think it's extremely toxic and doesn't have any room for
growth within these deep-rooted systems. This never plays into the thought about how
childrengrew up, what their relationships with the people around them are, or what they'vedone
to be where they are. I also think that as a species, humans need to beinterconnected with each
other, sharing communities and spaces. Things andactivities that they enjoy. And with these
prevalent deep stigmatizations withinsociety, no one can have the community that they want.
We can't be as integratedas we need to be. As I've gotten older, I very much valued the aspect
ofCommunity. Simultaneously also appreciating that within communities, there areno people
who. Do not like you just because of who you are. Of course, there arepeople against anyone
for doing anything, but I think within smaller communitieswe thrive as people. I developed
through my young adult years. Better forms ofcommunication to help me further these values?
That means a lot to me. Now asan adult, I think I am different than other people I know. I feel
that I'm becomingthe adult I always wanted to be. Now that I'm older I've grown a ton I've
becomethe role model that I think I wish I had as a child. These events have made me, inmy
opinion, a good person and I'm very proud of how I became as an adult.In conclusion, different
experiences such as my background how I was raised,and where I was raised have shaped my
values my beliefs, and how I view things,especially society. I’ve become so patient and open-
minded along with growingup to be an adult that I know my children can grow up and view
me as a rolemodel for them. Society can be very cruel and unjust towards others, but at theend
of the day we do create our society we are the society that pushes pressureupon people. Life
experiences can give us the motivation and effort to make the change we need happen. We can
make the necessary steps to change things andhave society view people in different ways. My
values personal knowledge beliefs and views across certain things areinfluenced by my
background and several life experiences. Things such as myparents, where I grew up, and my
family dynamic was things that shaped me as aperson. I also had many hobbies as a child that
influenced my opinions which inturn influenced the type of person I became as an adult.My
values and personal knowledge and belief are deeply rooted in the life Igrew up with. I grew
up in what many would call a broken home. I had divorcedparents for my entire life And we
lived in a fairly rough part of New York for themajority of my life. These experiences have
shaped me as a person. Along withthe loss of my father. Growing up in a single-parent
household, In my opinion,makes you see the economy and people's struggles within families
very prevalentfrom a very young age.do you wanna starting Things that weren't always
howthey were supposed to be or the picture-perfect family? I have an older brotherdiagnosed
with autism before I was even born. That already was a lot to deal with.As a young child. But
on top of that, I was very much stuck in the middle of myparent's divorce. My dad would never
want to see me. My mom would alwayswant him to get. To see me and try and get him to get
custody of me. And overall,just a very sticky situation, Irving, my parent's relationship with

open-minded and patient person to others because Iknow what it's like to be ostracised. I did,
however, love to read as a child. I usedto read any and any book I could pick up at the library.
I grew up mainly beinginfluenced by characters and stories. Heroes and people who did so
much goodfor the world, even when they didn't always have such a perfect life forthemselves.
I related a lot as a kid to these people. And I knew that even though Iwasn't in a great situation.
I could still help people. These experiences have givenme. a lot of values and beliefs when it
comes to a lot of values and beliefs when itcomes to many things. I think society can be very
cruel to those who are not likeeveryone else. Society has deep-rooted beliefs, even if people
don't share thosebeliefs in society. But it is very deeply rooted within it. I think this makes for
avery toxic cycle of people looking up to people who don't even exist, causenobody is who
society wants them to be. But many people pretend. I think societyhas become very shallow.
Instead of making a difference and letting people knowthat they aren't alone. It pushes people
down further. Pushes this belief that if youare not like everyone else, you are alone. And you're
not like me, and I don't likethat. I think it's extremely toxic and doesn't have any room for
growth within these deep-rooted systems. This never plays into the thought about how
childrengrew up, what their relationships with the people around them are, or what they'vedone
to be where they are. I also think that as a species, humans need to beinterconnected with each
other, sharing communities and spaces. Things andactivities that they enjoy. And with these
prevalent deep stigmatizations withinsociety, no one can have the community that they want.
We can't be as integratedas we need to be. As I've gotten older, I very much valued the aspect
ofCommunity. Simultaneously also appreciating that within communities, there areno people
who. Do not like you just because of who you are. Of course, there arepeople against anyone
for doing anything, but I think within smaller communitieswe thrive as people. I developed
through my young adult years. Better forms ofcommunication to help me further these values?
That means a lot to me. Now asan adult, I think I am different than other people I know. I feel
that I'm becomingthe adult I always wanted to be. Now that I'm older I've grown a ton I've
becomethe role model that I think I wish I had as a child. These events have made me, inmy
opinion, a good person and I'm very proud of how I became as an adult.In conclusion, different
experiences such as my background how I was raised,and where I was raised have shaped my
values my beliefs, and how I view things,especially society. I’ve become so patient and open-
minded along with growingup to be an adult that I know my children can grow up and view
me as a rolemodel for them. Society can be very cruel and unjust towards others, but at theend
of the day we do create our society we are the society that pushes pressureupon people. Life
experiences can give us the motivation and effort to make the change we need happen. We can
make the necessary steps to change things andhave society view people in different ways. My
values personal knowledge beliefs and views across certain things areinfluenced by my
background and several life experiences. Things such as myparents, where I grew up, and my
family dynamic was things that shaped me as aperson. I also had many hobbies as a child that
influenced my opinions which inturn influenced the type of person I became as an adult.My
values and personal knowledge and belief are deeply rooted in the life Igrew up with. I grew
up in what many would call a broken home. I had divorcedparents for my entire life And we
lived in a fairly rough part of New York for themajority of my life. These experiences have
shaped me as a person. Along withthe loss of my father. Growing up in a single-parent
household, In my opinion,makes you see the economy and people's struggles within families
very prevalentfrom a very young age.do you wanna starting Things that weren't always
howthey were supposed to be or the picture-perfect family? I have an older brotherdiagnosed
with autism before I was even born. That already was a lot to deal with.As a young child. But
on top of that, I was very much stuck in the middle of myparent's divorce. My dad would never
want to see me. My mom would alwayswant him to get. To see me and try and get him to get
custody of me. And overall,just a very sticky situation, Irving, my parent's relationship with
each other,therefore affecting my relationship with both of my parents. Then, as I got older,
Ibecame more aware of the money issues. Growing up my family, was between mymom's
medical bills for my brother and me and herself. Along with trying to payrent, get her kids to
school, and still put food on the table. This put me in a very different position than other kids I
knew growing up. I didn't know very manyother less fortunate kids than myself, and it was
very isolating for many yearsgrowing up. I also grew up as an LGBT person and a place that
was mostlyaccepting until the move to Texas, where things started not working out well forme

cruel to those who are not likeeveryone else. Society has deep-rooted beliefs, even if people
don't share thosebeliefs in society. But it is very deeply rooted within it. I think this makes for
avery toxic cycle of people looking up to people who don't even exist, causenobody is who
society wants them to be. But many people pretend. I think societyhas become very shallow.
Instead of making a difference and letting people knowthat they aren't alone. It pushes people
down further. Pushes this belief that if youare not like everyone else, you are alone. And you're
not like me, and I don't likethat. I think it's extremely toxic and doesn't have any room for
growth within these deep-rooted systems. This never plays into the thought about how
childrengrew up, what their relationships with the people around them are, or what they'vedone
to be where they are. I also think that as a species, humans need to beinterconnected with each
other, sharing communities and spaces. Things andactivities that they enjoy. And with these
prevalent deep stigmatizations withinsociety, no one can have the community that they want.
We can't be as integratedas we need to be. As I've gotten older, I very much valued the aspect
ofCommunity. Simultaneously also appreciating that within communities, there areno people
who. Do not like you just because of who you are. Of course, there arepeople against anyone
for doing anything, but I think within smaller communitieswe thrive as people. I developed
through my young adult years. Better forms ofcommunication to help me further these values?
That means a lot to me. Now asan adult, I think I am different than other people I know. I feel
that I'm becomingthe adult I always wanted to be. Now that I'm older I've grown a ton I've
becomethe role model that I think I wish I had as a child. These events have made me, inmy
opinion, a good person and I'm very proud of how I became as an adult.In conclusion, different
experiences such as my background how I was raised,and where I was raised have shaped my
values my beliefs, and how I view things,especially society. I’ve become so patient and open-
minded along with growingup to be an adult that I know my children can grow up and view
me as a rolemodel for them. Society can be very cruel and unjust towards others, but at theend
of the day we do create our society we are the society that pushes pressureupon people. Life
experiences can give us the motivation and effort to make the change we need happen. We can
make the necessary steps to change things andhave society view people in different ways. My
values personal knowledge beliefs and views across certain things areinfluenced by my
background and several life experiences. Things such as myparents, where I grew up, and my
family dynamic was things that shaped me as aperson. I also had many hobbies as a child that
influenced my opinions which inturn influenced the type of person I became as an adult.My
values and personal knowledge and belief are deeply rooted in the life Igrew up with. I grew
up in what many would call a broken home. I had divorcedparents for my entire life And we
lived in a fairly rough part of New York for themajority of my life. These experiences have
shaped me as a person. Along withthe loss of my father. Growing up in a single-parent
household, In my opinion,makes you see the economy and people's struggles within families
very prevalentfrom a very young age.do you wanna starting Things that weren't always
howthey were supposed to be or the picture-perfect family? I have an older brotherdiagnosed
with autism before I was even born. That already was a lot to deal with.As a young child. But
on top of that, I was very much stuck in the middle of myparent's divorce. My dad would never
want to see me. My mom would alwayswant him to get. To see me and try and get him to get
custody of me. And overall,just a very sticky situation, Irving, my parent's relationship with
each other,therefore affecting my relationship with both of my parents. Then, as I got older,
Ibecame more aware of the money issues. Growing up my family, was between mymom's
medical bills for my brother and me and herself. Along with trying to payrent, get her kids to
school, and still put food on the table. This put me in a very different position than other kids I
knew growing up. I didn't know very manyother less fortunate kids than myself, and it was
very isolating for many yearsgrowing up. I also grew up as an LGBT person and a place that
was mostlyaccepting until the move to Texas, where things started not working out well forme
as a queer person. This led to bullying in middle school before I transferred tohomeschooling
due to unrelated events. Looking back at these circumstances Ibelieve I've become a more
open-minded and patient person to others because Iknow what it's like to be ostracised. I did,
however, love to read as a child. I usedto read any and any book I could pick up at the library.
I grew up mainly beinginfluenced by characters and stories. Heroes and people who did so
much goodfor the world, even when they didn't always have such a perfect life forthemselves.

growth within these deep-rooted systems. This never plays into the thought about how
childrengrew up, what their relationships with the people around them are, or what they'vedone
to be where they are. I also think that as a species, humans need to beinterconnected with each
other, sharing communities and spaces. Things andactivities that they enjoy. And with these
prevalent deep stigmatizations withinsociety, no one can have the community that they want.
We can't be as integratedas we need to be. As I've gotten older, I very much valued the aspect
ofCommunity. Simultaneously also appreciating that within communities, there areno people
who. Do not like you just because of who you are. Of course, there arepeople against anyone
for doing anything, but I think within smaller communitieswe thrive as people. I developed
through my young adult years. Better forms ofcommunication to help me further these values?
That means a lot to me. Now asan adult, I think I am different than other people I know. I feel
that I'm becomingthe adult I always wanted to be. Now that I'm older I've grown a ton I've
becomethe role model that I think I wish I had as a child. These events have made me, inmy
opinion, a good person and I'm very proud of how I became as an adult.In conclusion, different
experiences such as my background how I was raised,and where I was raised have shaped my
values my beliefs, and how I view things,especially society. I’ve become so patient and open-
minded along with growingup to be an adult that I know my children can grow up and view
me as a rolemodel for them. Society can be very cruel and unjust towards others, but at theend
of the day we do create our society we are the society that pushes pressureupon people. Life
experiences can give us the motivation and effort to make the change we need happen. We can
make the necessary steps to change things andhave society view people in different ways. My
values personal knowledge beliefs and views across certain things areinfluenced by my
background and several life experiences. Things such as myparents, where I grew up, and my
family dynamic was things that shaped me as aperson. I also had many hobbies as a child that
influenced my opinions which inturn influenced the type of person I became as an adult.My
values and personal knowledge and belief are deeply rooted in the life Igrew up with. I grew
up in what many would call a broken home. I had divorcedparents for my entire life And we
lived in a fairly rough part of New York for themajority of my life. These experiences have
shaped me as a person. Along withthe loss of my father. Growing up in a single-parent
household, In my opinion,makes you see the economy and people's struggles within families
very prevalentfrom a very young age.do you wanna starting Things that weren't always
howthey were supposed to be or the picture-perfect family? I have an older brotherdiagnosed
with autism before I was even born. That already was a lot to deal with.As a young child. But
on top of that, I was very much stuck in the middle of myparent's divorce. My dad would never
want to see me. My mom would alwayswant him to get. To see me and try and get him to get
custody of me. And overall,just a very sticky situation, Irving, my parent's relationship with
each other,therefore affecting my relationship with both of my parents. Then, as I got older,
Ibecame more aware of the money issues. Growing up my family, was between mymom's
medical bills for my brother and me and herself. Along with trying to payrent, get her kids to
school, and still put food on the table. This put me in a very different position than other kids I
knew growing up. I didn't know very manyother less fortunate kids than myself, and it was
very isolating for many yearsgrowing up. I also grew up as an LGBT person and a place that
was mostlyaccepting until the move to Texas, where things started not working out well forme
as a queer person. This led to bullying in middle school before I transferred tohomeschooling
due to unrelated events. Looking back at these circumstances Ibelieve I've become a more
open-minded and patient person to others because Iknow what it's like to be ostracised. I did,
however, love to read as a child. I usedto read any and any book I could pick up at the library.
I grew up mainly beinginfluenced by characters and stories. Heroes and people who did so
much goodfor the world, even when they didn't always have such a perfect life forthemselves.
I related a lot as a kid to these people. And I knew that even though Iwasn't in a great situation.
I could still help people. These experiences have givenme. a lot of values and beliefs when it
comes to a lot of values and beliefs when itcomes to many things. I think society can be very
cruel to those who are not likeeveryone else. Society has deep-rooted beliefs, even if people
don't share thosebeliefs in society. But it is very deeply rooted within it. I think this makes for
avery toxic cycle of people looking up to people who don't even exist, causenobody is who
society wants them to be. But many people pretend. I think societyhas become very shallow.
Instead of making a difference and letting people knowthat they aren't alone. It pushes people
down further. Pushes this belief that if youare not like everyone else, you are alone. And you're

for doing anything, but I think within smaller communitieswe thrive as people. I developed
through my young adult years. Better forms ofcommunication to help me further these values?
That means a lot to me. Now asan adult, I think I am different than other people I know. I feel
that I'm becomingthe adult I always wanted to be. Now that I'm older I've grown a ton I've
becomethe role model that I think I wish I had as a child. These events have made me, inmy
opinion, a good person and I'm very proud of how I became as an adult.In conclusion, different
experiences such as my background how I was raised,and where I was raised have shaped my
values my beliefs, and how I view things,especially society. I’ve become so patient and open-
minded along with growingup to be an adult that I know my children can grow up and view
me as a rolemodel for them. Society can be very cruel and unjust towards others, but at theend
of the day we do create our society we are the society that pushes pressureupon people. Life
experiences can give us the motivation and effort to make the change we need happen. We can
make the necessary steps to change things andhave society view people in different ways. My
values personal knowledge beliefs and views across certain things areinfluenced by my
background and several life experiences. Things such as myparents, where I grew up, and my
family dynamic was things that shaped me as aperson. I also had many hobbies as a child that
influenced my opinions which inturn influenced the type of person I became as an adult.My
values and personal knowledge and belief are deeply rooted in the life Igrew up with. I grew
up in what many would call a broken home. I had divorcedparents for my entire life And we
lived in a fairly rough part of New York for themajority of my life. These experiences have
shaped me as a person. Along withthe loss of my father. Growing up in a single-parent
household, In my opinion,makes you see the economy and people's struggles within families
very prevalentfrom a very young age.do you wanna starting Things that weren't always
howthey were supposed to be or the picture-perfect family? I have an older brotherdiagnosed
with autism before I was even born. That already was a lot to deal with.As a young child. But
on top of that, I was very much stuck in the middle of myparent's divorce. My dad would never
want to see me. My mom would alwayswant him to get. To see me and try and get him to get
custody of me. And overall,just a very sticky situation, Irving, my parent's relationship with
each other,therefore affecting my relationship with both of my parents. Then, as I got older,
Ibecame more aware of the money issues. Growing up my family, was between mymom's
medical bills for my brother and me and herself. Along with trying to payrent, get her kids to
school, and still put food on the table. This put me in a very different position than other kids I
knew growing up. I didn't know very manyother less fortunate kids than myself, and it was
very isolating for many yearsgrowing up. I also grew up as an LGBT person and a place that
was mostlyaccepting until the move to Texas, where things started not working out well forme
as a queer person. This led to bullying in middle school before I transferred tohomeschooling
due to unrelated events. Looking back at these circumstances Ibelieve I've become a more
open-minded and patient person to others because Iknow what it's like to be ostracised. I did,
however, love to read as a child. I usedto read any and any book I could pick up at the library.
I grew up mainly beinginfluenced by characters and stories. Heroes and people who did so
much goodfor the world, even when they didn't always have such a perfect life forthemselves.
I related a lot as a kid to these people. And I knew that even though Iwasn't in a great situation.
I could still help people. These experiences have givenme. a lot of values and beliefs when it
comes to a lot of values and beliefs when itcomes to many things. I think society can be very
cruel to those who are not likeeveryone else. Society has deep-rooted beliefs, even if people
don't share thosebeliefs in society. But it is very deeply rooted within it. I think this makes for
avery toxic cycle of people looking up to people who don't even exist, causenobody is who
society wants them to be. But many people pretend. I think societyhas become very shallow.
Instead of making a difference and letting people knowthat they aren't alone. It pushes people
down further. Pushes this belief that if youare not like everyone else, you are alone. And you're
not like me, and I don't likethat. I think it's extremely toxic and doesn't have any room for
growth within these deep-rooted systems. This never plays into the thought about how
childrengrew up, what their relationships with the people around them are, or what they'vedone
to be where they are. I also think that as a species, humans need to beinterconnected with each
other, sharing communities and spaces. Things andactivities that they enjoy. And with these
prevalent deep stigmatizations withinsociety, no one can have the community that they want.
We can't be as integratedas we need to be. As I've gotten older, I very much valued the aspect
ofCommunity. Simultaneously also appreciating that within communities, there areno people
who. Do not like you just because of who you are. Of course, there arepeople against anyone

minded along with growingup to be an adult that I know my children can grow up and view
me as a rolemodel for them. Society can be very cruel and unjust towards others, but at theend
of the day we do create our society we are the society that pushes pressureupon people. Life
experiences can give us the motivation and effort to make the change we need happen. We can
make the necessary steps to change things andhave society view people in different ways. My
values personal knowledge beliefs and views across certain things areinfluenced by my
background and several life experiences. Things such as myparents, where I grew up, and my
family dynamic was things that shaped me as aperson. I also had many hobbies as a child that
influenced my opinions which inturn influenced the type of person I became as an adult.My
values and personal knowledge and belief are deeply rooted in the life Igrew up with. I grew
up in what many would call a broken home. I had divorcedparents for my entire life And we
lived in a fairly rough part of New York for themajority of my life. These experiences have
shaped me as a person. Along withthe loss of my father. Growing up in a single-parent
household, In my opinion,makes you see the economy and people's struggles within families
very prevalentfrom a very young age.do you wanna starting Things that weren't always
howthey were supposed to be or the picture-perfect family? I have an older brotherdiagnosed
with autism before I was even born. That already was a lot to deal with.As a young child. But
on top of that, I was very much stuck in the middle of myparent's divorce. My dad would never
want to see me. My mom would alwayswant him to get. To see me and try and get him to get
custody of me. And overall,just a very sticky situation, Irving, my parent's relationship with
each other,therefore affecting my relationship with both of my parents. Then, as I got older,
Ibecame more aware of the money issues. Growing up my family, was between mymom's
medical bills for my brother and me and herself. Along with trying to payrent, get her kids to
school, and still put food on the table. This put me in a very different position than other kids I
knew growing up. I didn't know very manyother less fortunate kids than myself, and it was
very isolating for many yearsgrowing up. I also grew up as an LGBT person and a place that
was mostlyaccepting until the move to Texas, where things started not working out well forme
as a queer person. This led to bullying in middle school before I transferred tohomeschooling
due to unrelated events. Looking back at these circumstances Ibelieve I've become a more
open-minded and patient person to others because Iknow what it's like to be ostracised. I did,
however, love to read as a child. I usedto read any and any book I could pick up at the library.
I grew up mainly beinginfluenced by characters and stories. Heroes and people who did so
much goodfor the world, even when they didn't always have such a perfect life forthemselves.
I related a lot as a kid to these people. And I knew that even though Iwasn't in a great situation.
I could still help people. These experiences have givenme. a lot of values and beliefs when it
comes to a lot of values and beliefs when itcomes to many things. I think society can be very
cruel to those who are not likeeveryone else. Society has deep-rooted beliefs, even if people
don't share thosebeliefs in society. But it is very deeply rooted within it. I think this makes for
avery toxic cycle of people looking up to people who don't even exist, causenobody is who
society wants them to be. But many people pretend. I think societyhas become very shallow.
Instead of making a difference and letting people knowthat they aren't alone. It pushes people
down further. Pushes this belief that if youare not like everyone else, you are alone. And you're
not like me, and I don't likethat. I think it's extremely toxic and doesn't have any room for
growth within these deep-rooted systems. This never plays into the thought about how
childrengrew up, what their relationships with the people around them are, or what they'vedone
to be where they are. I also think that as a species, humans need to beinterconnected with each
other, sharing communities and spaces. Things andactivities that they enjoy. And with these
prevalent deep stigmatizations withinsociety, no one can have the community that they want.
We can't be as integratedas we need to be. As I've gotten older, I very much valued the aspect
ofCommunity. Simultaneously also appreciating that within communities, there areno people
who. Do not like you just because of who you are. Of course, there arepeople against anyone
for doing anything, but I think within smaller communitieswe thrive as people. I developed
through my young adult years. Better forms ofcommunication to help me further these values?
That means a lot to me. Now asan adult, I think I am different than other people I know. I feel
that I'm becomingthe adult I always wanted to be. Now that I'm older I've grown a ton I've
becomethe role model that I think I wish I had as a child. These events have made me, inmy
opinion, a good person and I'm very proud of how I became as an adult.In conclusion, different

values and personal knowledge and belief are deeply rooted in the life Igrew up with. I grew
up in what many would call a broken home. I had divorcedparents for my entire life And we
lived in a fairly rough part of New York for themajority of my life. These experiences have
shaped me as a person. Along withthe loss of my father. Growing up in a single-parent
household, In my opinion,makes you see the economy and people's struggles within families
very prevalentfrom a very young age.do you wanna starting Things that weren't always
howthey were supposed to be or the picture-perfect family? I have an older brotherdiagnosed
with autism before I was even born. That already was a lot to deal with.As a young child. But
on top of that, I was very much stuck in the middle of myparent's divorce. My dad would never
want to see me. My mom would alwayswant him to get. To see me and try and get him to get
custody of me. And overall,just a very sticky situation, Irving, my parent's relationship with
each other,therefore affecting my relationship with both of my parents. Then, as I got older,
Ibecame more aware of the money issues. Growing up my family, was between mymom's
medical bills for my brother and me and herself. Along with trying to payrent, get her kids to
school, and still put food on the table. This put me in a very different position than other kids I
knew growing up. I didn't know very manyother less fortunate kids than myself, and it was
very isolating for many yearsgrowing up. I also grew up as an LGBT person and a place that
was mostlyaccepting until the move to Texas, where things started not working out well forme
as a queer person. This led to bullying in middle school before I transferred tohomeschooling
due to unrelated events. Looking back at these circumstances Ibelieve I've become a more
open-minded and patient person to others because Iknow what it's like to be ostracised. I did,
however, love to read as a child. I usedto read any and any book I could pick up at the library.
I grew up mainly beinginfluenced by characters and stories. Heroes and people who did so
much goodfor the world, even when they didn't always have such a perfect life forthemselves.
I related a lot as a kid to these people. And I knew that even though Iwasn't in a great situation.
I could still help people. These experiences have givenme. a lot of values and beliefs when it
comes to a lot of values and beliefs when itcomes to many things. I think society can be very
cruel to those who are not likeeveryone else. Society has deep-rooted beliefs, even if people
don't share thosebeliefs in society. But it is very deeply rooted within it. I think this makes for
avery toxic cycle of people looking up to people who don't even exist, causenobody is who
society wants them to be. But many people pretend. I think societyhas become very shallow.
Instead of making a difference and letting people knowthat they aren't alone. It pushes people
down further. Pushes this belief that if youare not like everyone else, you are alone. And you're
not like me, and I don't likethat. I think it's extremely toxic and doesn't have any room for
growth within these deep-rooted systems. This never plays into the thought about how
childrengrew up, what their relationships with the people around them are, or what they'vedone
to be where they are. I also think that as a species, humans need to beinterconnected with each
other, sharing communities and spaces. Things andactivities that they enjoy. And with these
prevalent deep stigmatizations withinsociety, no one can have the community that they want.
We can't be as integratedas we need to be. As I've gotten older, I very much valued the aspect
ofCommunity. Simultaneously also appreciating that within communities, there areno people
who. Do not like you just because of who you are. Of course, there arepeople against anyone
for doing anything, but I think within smaller communitieswe thrive as people. I developed
through my young adult years. Better forms ofcommunication to help me further these values?
That means a lot to me. Now asan adult, I think I am different than other people I know. I feel
that I'm becomingthe adult I always wanted to be. Now that I'm older I've grown a ton I've
becomethe role model that I think I wish I had as a child. These events have made me, inmy
opinion, a good person and I'm very proud of how I became as an adult.In conclusion, different
experiences such as my background how I was raised,and where I was raised have shaped my
values my beliefs, and how I view things,especially society. I’ve become so patient and open-
minded along with growingup to be an adult that I know my children can grow up and view
me as a rolemodel for them. Society can be very cruel and unjust towards others, but at theend
of the day we do create our society we are the society that pushes pressureupon people. Life
experiences can give us the motivation and effort to make the change we need happen. We can
make the necessary steps to change things andhave society view people in different ways.

on top of that, I was very much stuck in the middle of myparent's divorce. My dad would never
want to see me. My mom would alwayswant him to get. To see me and try and get him to get
custody of me. And overall,just a very sticky situation, Irving, my parent's relationship with
each other,therefore affecting my relationship with both of my parents. Then, as I got older,
Ibecame more aware of the money issues. Growing up my family, was between mymom's
medical bills for my brother and me and herself. Along with trying to payrent, get her kids to
school, and still put food on the table. This put me in a very different position than other kids I
knew growing up. I didn't know very manyother less fortunate kids than myself, and it was
very isolating for many yearsgrowing up. I also grew up as an LGBT person and a place that
was mostlyaccepting until the move to Texas, where things started not working out well forme
as a queer person. This led to bullying in middle school before I transferred tohomeschooling
due to unrelated events. Looking back at these circumstances Ibelieve I've become a more
open-minded and patient person to others because Iknow what it's like to be ostracised. I did,
however, love to read as a child. I usedto read any and any book I could pick up at the library.
I grew up mainly beinginfluenced by characters and stories. Heroes and people who did so
much goodfor the world, even when they didn't always have such a perfect life forthemselves.
I related a lot as a kid to these people. And I knew that even though Iwasn't in a great situation.
I could still help people. These experiences have givenme. a lot of values and beliefs when it
comes to a lot of values and beliefs when itcomes to many things. I think society can be very
cruel to those who are not likeeveryone else. Society has deep-rooted beliefs, even if people
don't share thosebeliefs in society. But it is very deeply rooted within it. I think this makes for
avery toxic cycle of people looking up to people who don't even exist, causenobody is who
society wants them to be. But many people pretend. I think societyhas become very shallow.
Instead of making a difference and letting people knowthat they aren't alone. It pushes people
down further. Pushes this belief that if youare not like everyone else, you are alone. And you're
not like me, and I don't likethat. I think it's extremely toxic and doesn't have any room for
growth within these deep-rooted systems. This never plays into the thought about how
childrengrew up, what their relationships with the people around them are, or what they'vedone
to be where they are. I also think that as a species, humans need to beinterconnected with each
other, sharing communities and spaces. Things andactivities that they enjoy. And with these
prevalent deep stigmatizations withinsociety, no one can have the community that they want.
We can't be as integratedas we need to be. As I've gotten older, I very much valued the aspect
ofCommunity. Simultaneously also appreciating that within communities, there areno people
who. Do not like you just because of who you are. Of course, there arepeople against anyone
for doing anything, but I think within smaller communitieswe thrive as people. I developed
through my young adult years. Better forms ofcommunication to help me further these values?
That means a lot to me. Now asan adult, I think I am different than other people I know. I feel
that I'm becomingthe adult I always wanted to be. Now that I'm older I've grown a ton I've
becomethe role model that I think I wish I had as a child. These events have made me, inmy
opinion, a good person and I'm very proud of how I became as an adult.In conclusion, different
experiences such as my background how I was raised,and where I was raised have shaped my
values my beliefs, and how I view things,especially society. I’ve become so patient and open-
minded along with growingup to be an adult that I know my children can grow up and view
me as a rolemodel for them. Society can be very cruel and unjust towards others, but at theend
of the day we do create our society we are the society that pushes pressureupon people. Life
experiences can give us the motivation and effort to make the change we need happen. We can
make the necessary steps to change things andhave society view people in different ways.

knew growing up. I didn't know very manyother less fortunate kids than myself, and it was
very isolating for many yearsgrowing up. I also grew up as an LGBT person and a place that
was mostlyaccepting until the move to Texas, where things started not working out well forme
as a queer person. This led to bullying in middle school before I transferred tohomeschooling
due to unrelated events. Looking back at these circumstances Ibelieve I've become a more
open-minded and patient person to others because Iknow what it's like to be ostracised. I did,
however, love to read as a child. I usedto read any and any book I could pick up at the library.
I grew up mainly beinginfluenced by characters and stories. Heroes and people who did so
much goodfor the world, even when they didn't always have such a perfect life forthemselves.
I related a lot as a kid to these people. And I knew that even though Iwasn't in a great situation.
I could still help people. These experiences have givenme. a lot of values and beliefs when it
comes to a lot of values and beliefs when itcomes to many things. I think society can be very
cruel to those who are not likeeveryone else. Society has deep-rooted beliefs, even if people
don't share thosebeliefs in society. But it is very deeply rooted within it. I think this makes for
avery toxic cycle of people looking up to people who don't even exist, causenobody is who
society wants them to be. But many people pretend. I think societyhas become very shallow.
Instead of making a difference and letting people knowthat they aren't alone. It pushes people
down further. Pushes this belief that if youare not like everyone else, you are alone. And you're
not like me, and I don't likethat. I think it's extremely toxic and doesn't have any room for
growth within these deep-rooted systems. This never plays into the thought about how
childrengrew up, what their relationships with the people around them are, or what they'vedone
to be where they are. I also think that as a species, humans need to beinterconnected with each
other, sharing communities and spaces. Things andactivities that they enjoy. And with these
prevalent deep stigmatizations withinsociety, no one can have the community that they want.
We can't be as integratedas we need to be. As I've gotten older, I very much valued the aspect
ofCommunity. Simultaneously also appreciating that within communities, there areno people
who. Do not like you just because of who you are. Of course, there arepeople against anyone
for doing anything, but I think within smaller communitieswe thrive as people. I developed
through my young adult years. Better forms ofcommunication to help me further these values?
That means a lot to me. Now asan adult, I think I am different than other people I know. I feel
that I'm becomingthe adult I always wanted to be. Now that I'm older I've grown a ton I've
becomethe role model that I think I wish I had as a child. These events have made me, inmy
opinion, a good person and I'm very proud of how I became as an adult.In conclusion, different
experiences such as my background how I was raised,and where I was raised have shaped my
values my beliefs, and how I view things,especially society. I’ve become so patient and open-
minded along with growingup to be an adult that I know my children can grow up and view
me as a rolemodel for them. Society can be very cruel and unjust towards others, but at theend
of the day we do create our society we are the society that pushes pressureupon people. Life
experiences can give us the motivation and effort to make the change we need happen. We can
make the necessary steps to change things andhave society view people in different ways.

much goodfor the world, even when they didn't always have such a perfect life forthemselves.
I related a lot as a kid to these people. And I knew that even though Iwasn't in a great situation.
I could still help people. These experiences have givenme. a lot of values and beliefs when it
comes to a lot of values and beliefs when itcomes to many things. I think society can be very
cruel to those who are not likeeveryone else. Society has deep-rooted beliefs, even if people
don't share thosebeliefs in society. But it is very deeply rooted within it. I think this makes for
avery toxic cycle of people looking up to people who don't even exist, causenobody is who
society wants them to be. But many people pretend. I think societyhas become very shallow.
Instead of making a difference and letting people knowthat they aren't alone. It pushes people
down further. Pushes this belief that if youare not like everyone else, you are alone. And you're
not like me, and I don't likethat. I think it's extremely toxic and doesn't have any room for
growth within these deep-rooted systems. This never plays into the thought about how
childrengrew up, what their relationships with the people around them are, or what they'vedone
to be where they are. I also think that as a species, humans need to beinterconnected with each
other, sharing communities and spaces. Things andactivities that they enjoy. And with these
prevalent deep stigmatizations withinsociety, no one can have the community that they want.
We can't be as integratedas we need to be. As I've gotten older, I very much valued the aspect
ofCommunity. Simultaneously also appreciating that within communities, there areno people
who. Do not like you just because of who you are. Of course, there arepeople against anyone
for doing anything, but I think within smaller communitieswe thrive as people. I developed
through my young adult years. Better forms ofcommunication to help me further these values?
That means a lot to me. Now asan adult, I think I am different than other people I know. I feel
that I'm becomingthe adult I always wanted to be. Now that I'm older I've grown a ton I've
becomethe role model that I think I wish I had as a child. These events have made me, inmy
opinion, a good person and I'm very proud of how I became as an adult.In conclusion, different
experiences such as my background how I was raised,and where I was raised have shaped my
values my beliefs, and how I view things,especially society. I’ve become so patient and open-
minded along with growingup to be an adult that I know my children can grow up and view
me as a rolemodel for them. Society can be very cruel and unjust towards others, but at theend
of the day we do create our society we are the society that pushes pressureupon people. Life
experiences can give us the motivation and effort to make the change we need happen. We can
make the necessary steps to change things andhave society view people in different ways.
My values personal knowledge beliefs and views across certain things areinfluenced by my
background and several life experiences. Things such as myparents, where I grew up, and my
family dynamic was things that shaped me as aperson. I also had many hobbies as a child that
influenced my opinions which inturn influenced the type of person I became as an adult.My
values and personal knowledge and belief are deeply rooted in the life Igrew up with. I grew
up in what many would call a broken home. I had divorcedparents for my entire life And we
lived in a fairly rough part of New York for themajority of my life. These experiences have
shaped me as a person. Along withthe loss of my father. Growing up in a single-parent
household, In my opinion,makes you see the economy and people's struggles within families
very prevalentfrom a very young age.do you wanna starting Things that weren't always
howthey were supposed to be or the picture-perfect family? I have an older brotherdiagnosed
with autism before I was even born. That already was a lot to deal with.As a young child. But
on top of that, I was very much stuck in the middle of myparent's divorce. My dad would never
want to see me. My mom would alwayswant him to get. To see me and try and get him to get
custody of me. And overall,just a very sticky situation, Irving, my parent's relationship with
each other,therefore affecting my relationship with both of my parents. Then, as I got older,
Ibecame more aware of the money issues. Growing up my family, was between mymom's
medical bills for my brother and me and herself. Along with trying to payrent, get her kids to
school, and still put food on the table. This put me in a very different position than other kids I
knew growing up. I didn't know very manyother less fortunate kids than myself, and it was
very isolating for many yearsgrowing up. I also grew up as an LGBT person and a place that
was mostlyaccepting until the move to Texas, where things started not working out well forme
as a queer person. This led to bullying in middle school before I transferred tohomeschooling
due to unrelated events. Looking back at these circumstances Ibelieve I've become a more
open-minded and patient person to others because Iknow what it's like to be ostracised. I did,

society wants them to be. But many people pretend. I think societyhas become very shallow.
Instead of making a difference and letting people knowthat they aren't alone. It pushes people
down further. Pushes this belief that if youare not like everyone else, you are alone. And you're
not like me, and I don't likethat. I think it's extremely toxic and doesn't have any room for
growth within these deep-rooted systems. This never plays into the thought about how
childrengrew up, what their relationships with the people around them are, or what they'vedone
to be where they are. I also think that as a species, humans need to beinterconnected with each
other, sharing communities and spaces. Things andactivities that they enjoy. And with these
prevalent deep stigmatizations withinsociety, no one can have the community that they want.
We can't be as integratedas we need to be. As I've gotten older, I very much valued the aspect
ofCommunity. Simultaneously also appreciating that within communities, there areno people
who. Do not like you just because of who you are. Of course, there arepeople against anyone
for doing anything, but I think within smaller communitieswe thrive as people. I developed
through my young adult years. Better forms ofcommunication to help me further these values?
That means a lot to me. Now asan adult, I think I am different than other people I know. I feel
that I'm becomingthe adult I always wanted to be. Now that I'm older I've grown a ton I've
becomethe role model that I think I wish I had as a child. These events have made me, inmy
opinion, a good person and I'm very proud of how I became as an adult.In conclusion, different
experiences such as my background how I was raised,and where I was raised have shaped my
values my beliefs, and how I view things,especially society. I’ve become so patient and open-
minded along with growingup to be an adult that I know my children can grow up and view
me as a rolemodel for them. Society can be very cruel and unjust towards others, but at theend
of the day we do create our society we are the society that pushes pressureupon people. Life
experiences can give us the motivation and effort to make the change we need happen. We can
make the necessary steps to change things andhave society view people in different ways.
My values personal knowledge beliefs and views across certain things areinfluenced by my
background and several life experiences. Things such as myparents, where I grew up, and my
family dynamic was things that shaped me as aperson. I also had many hobbies as a child that
influenced my opinions which inturn influenced the type of person I became as an adult.My
values and personal knowledge and belief are deeply rooted in the life Igrew up with. I grew
up in what many would call a broken home. I had divorcedparents for my entire life And we
lived in a fairly rough part of New York for themajority of my life. These experiences have
shaped me as a person. Along withthe loss of my father. Growing up in a single-parent
household, In my opinion,makes you see the economy and people's struggles within families
very prevalentfrom a very young age.do you wanna starting Things that weren't always
howthey were supposed to be or the picture-perfect family? I have an older brotherdiagnosed
with autism before I was even born. That already was a lot to deal with.As a young child. But
on top of that, I was very much stuck in the middle of myparent's divorce. My dad would never
want to see me. My mom would alwayswant him to get. To see me and try and get him to get
custody of me. And overall,just a very sticky situation, Irving, my parent's relationship with
each other,therefore affecting my relationship with both of my parents. Then, as I got older,
Ibecame more aware of the money issues. Growing up my family, was between mymom's
medical bills for my brother and me and herself. Along with trying to payrent, get her kids to
school, and still put food on the table. This put me in a very different position than other kids I
knew growing up. I didn't know very manyother less fortunate kids than myself, and it was
very isolating for many yearsgrowing up. I also grew up as an LGBT person and a place that
was mostlyaccepting until the move to Texas, where things started not working out well forme
as a queer person. This led to bullying in middle school before I transferred tohomeschooling
due to unrelated events. Looking back at these circumstances Ibelieve I've become a more
open-minded and patient person to others because Iknow what it's like to be ostracised. I did,
however, love to read as a child. I usedto read any and any book I could pick up at the library.
I grew up mainly beinginfluenced by characters and stories. Heroes and people who did so
much goodfor the world, even when they didn't always have such a perfect life forthemselves.

prevalent deep stigmatizations withinsociety, no one can have the community that they want.
We can't be as integratedas we need to be. As I've gotten older, I very much valued the aspect
ofCommunity. Simultaneously also appreciating that within communities, there areno people

for doing anything, but I think within smaller communitieswe thrive as people. I developed
through my young adult years. Better forms ofcommunication to help me further these values?
That means a lot to me. Now asan adult, I think I am different than other people I know. I feel
that I'm becomingthe adult I always wanted to be. Now that I'm older I've grown a ton I've
becomethe role model that I think I wish I had as a child. These events have made me, inmy
opinion, a good person and I'm very proud of how I became as an adult.In conclusion, different
experiences such as my background how I was raised,and where I was raised have shaped my
values my beliefs, and how I view things,especially society. I’ve become so patient and open-
minded along with growingup to be an adult that I know my children can grow up and view
me as a rolemodel for them. Society can be very cruel and unjust towards others, but at theend
of the day we do create our society we are the society that pushes pressureupon people. Life
experiences can give us the motivation and effort to make the change we need happen. We can
make the necessary steps to change things andhave society view people in different ways.
My values personal knowledge beliefs and views across certain things areinfluenced by my
background and several life experiences. Things such as myparents, where I grew up, and my
family dynamic was things that shaped me as aperson. I also had many hobbies as a child that
influenced my opinions which inturn influenced the type of person I became as an adult.My
values and personal knowledge and belief are deeply rooted in the life Igrew up with. I grew
up in what many would call a broken home. I had divorcedparents for my entire life And we
lived in a fairly rough part of New York for themajority of my life. These experiences have
shaped me as a person. Along withthe loss of my father. Growing up in a single-parent
household, In my opinion,makes you see the economy and people's struggles within families
very prevalentfrom a very young age.do you wanna starting Things that weren't always
howthey were supposed to be or the picture-perfect family? I have an older brotherdiagnosed
with autism before I was even born. That already was a lot to deal with.As a young child. But
on top of that, I was very much stuck in the middle of myparent's divorce. My dad would never
want to see me. My mom would alwayswant him to get. To see me and try and get him to get
custody of me. And overall,just a very sticky situation, Irving, my parent's relationship with
each other,therefore affecting my relationship with both of my parents. Then, as I got older,
Ibecame more aware of the money issues. Growing up my family, was between mymom's
medical bills for my brother and me and herself. Along with trying to payrent, get her kids to
school, and still put food on the table. This put me in a very different position than other kids I
knew growing up. I didn't know very manyother less fortunate kids than myself, and it was
very isolating for many yearsgrowing up. I also grew up as an LGBT person and a place that
was mostlyaccepting until the move to Texas, where things started not working out well forme
as a queer person. This led to bullying in middle school before I transferred tohomeschooling
due to unrelated events. Looking back at these circumstances Ibelieve I've become a more
open-minded and patient person to others because Iknow what it's like to be ostracised. I did,
however, love to read as a child. I usedto read any and any book I could pick up at the library.
I grew up mainly beinginfluenced by characters and stories. Heroes and people who did so
much goodfor the world, even when they didn't always have such a perfect life forthemselves.
I related a lot as a kid to these people. And I knew that even though Iwasn't in a great situation.
I could still help people. These experiences have givenme. a lot of values and beliefs when it
comes to a lot of values and beliefs when itcomes to many things. I think society can be very
cruel to those who are not likeeveryone else. Society has deep-rooted beliefs, even if people
don't share thosebeliefs in society. But it is very deeply rooted within it. I think this makes for
avery toxic cycle of people looking up to people who don't even exist, causenobody is who
society wants them to be. But many people pretend. I think societyhas become very shallow.
Instead of making a difference and letting people knowthat they aren't alone. It pushes people
down further. Pushes this belief that if youare not like everyone else, you are alone. And you're
not like me, and I don't likethat. I think it's extremely toxic and doesn't have any room for
growth within these deep-rooted systems. This never plays into the thought about how
childrengrew up, what their relationships with the people around them are, or what they'vedone

that I'm becomingthe adult I always wanted to be. Now that I'm older I've grown a ton I've
becomethe role model that I think I wish I had as a child. These events have made me, inmy
opinion, a good person and I'm very proud of how I became as an adult.In conclusion, different
experiences such as my background how I was raised,and where I was raised have shaped my
values my beliefs, and how I view things,especially society. I’ve become so patient and open-
minded along with growingup to be an adult that I know my children can grow up and view
me as a rolemodel for them. Society can be very cruel and unjust towards others, but at theend
of the day we do create our society we are the society that pushes pressureupon people. Life
experiences can give us the motivation and effort to make the change we need happen. We can
make the necessary steps to change things andhave society view people in different ways.
My values personal knowledge beliefs and views across certain things areinfluenced by my
background and several life experiences. Things such as myparents, where I grew up, and my
family dynamic was things that shaped me as aperson. I also had many hobbies as a child that
influenced my opinions which inturn influenced the type of person I became as an adult.My
values and personal knowledge and belief are deeply rooted in the life Igrew up with. I grew
up in what many would call a broken home. I had divorcedparents for my entire life And we
lived in a fairly rough part of New York for themajority of my life. These experiences have
shaped me as a person. Along withthe loss of my father. Growing up in a single-parent
household, In my opinion,makes you see the economy and people's struggles within families
very prevalentfrom a very young age.do you wanna starting Things that weren't always
howthey were supposed to be or the picture-perfect family? I have an older brotherdiagnosed
with autism before I was even born. That already was a lot to deal with.As a young child. But
on top of that, I was very much stuck in the middle of myparent's divorce. My dad would never
want to see me. My mom would alwayswant him to get. To see me and try and get him to get
custody of me. And overall,just a very sticky situation, Irving, my parent's relationship with
each other,therefore affecting my relationship with both of my parents. Then, as I got older,
Ibecame more aware of the money issues. Growing up my family, was between mymom's
medical bills for my brother and me and herself. Along with trying to payrent, get her kids to
school, and still put food on the table. This put me in a very different position than other kids I
knew growing up. I didn't know very manyother less fortunate kids than myself, and it was
very isolating for many yearsgrowing up. I also grew up as an LGBT person and a place that
was mostlyaccepting until the move to Texas, where things started not working out well forme
as a queer person. This led to bullying in middle school before I transferred tohomeschooling
due to unrelated events. Looking back at these circumstances Ibelieve I've become a more
open-minded and patient person to others because Iknow what it's like to be ostracised. I did,
however, love to read as a child. I usedto read any and any book I could pick up at the library.
I grew up mainly beinginfluenced by characters and stories. Heroes and people who did so
much goodfor the world, even when they didn't always have such a perfect life forthemselves.
I related a lot as a kid to these people. And I knew that even though Iwasn't in a great situation.
I could still help people. These experiences have givenme. a lot of values and beliefs when it
comes to a lot of values and beliefs when itcomes to many things. I think society can be very
cruel to those who are not likeeveryone else. Society has deep-rooted beliefs, even if people
don't share thosebeliefs in society. But it is very deeply rooted within it. I think this makes for
avery toxic cycle of people looking up to people who don't even exist, causenobody is who
society wants them to be. But many people pretend. I think societyhas become very shallow.
Instead of making a difference and letting people knowthat they aren't alone. It pushes people
down further. Pushes this belief that if youare not like everyone else, you are alone. And you're
not like me, and I don't likethat. I think it's extremely toxic and doesn't have any room for
growth within these deep-rooted systems. This never plays into the thought about how
childrengrew up, what their relationships with the people around them are, or what they'vedone
to be where they are. I also think that as a species, humans need to beinterconnected with each
other, sharing communities and spaces. Things andactivities that they enjoy. And with these
prevalent deep stigmatizations withinsociety, no one can have the community that they want.
We can't be as integratedas we need to be. As I've gotten older, I very much valued the aspect
ofCommunity. Simultaneously also appreciating that within communities, there areno people
who. Do not like you just because of who you are. Of course, there arepeople against anyone
for doing anything, but I think within smaller communitieswe thrive as people. I developed

experiences can give us the motivation and effort to make the change we need happen. We can

My values personal knowledge beliefs and views across certain things areinfluenced by my
background and several life experiences. Things such as myparents, where I grew up, and my
family dynamic was things that shaped me as aperson. I also had many hobbies as a child that
influenced my opinions which inturn influenced the type of person I became as an adult.My
values and personal knowledge and belief are deeply rooted in the life Igrew up with. I grew
up in what many would call a broken home. I had divorcedparents for my entire life And we
lived in a fairly rough part of New York for themajority of my life. These experiences have
shaped me as a person. Along withthe loss of my father. Growing up in a single-parent
household, In my opinion,makes you see the economy and people's struggles within families
very prevalentfrom a very young age.do you wanna starting Things that weren't always
howthey were supposed to be or the picture-perfect family? I have an older brotherdiagnosed
with autism before I was even born. That already was a lot to deal with.As a young child. But
on top of that, I was very much stuck in the middle of myparent's divorce. My dad would never
want to see me. My mom would alwayswant him to get. To see me and try and get him to get
custody of me. And overall,just a very sticky situation, Irving, my parent's relationship with
each other,therefore affecting my relationship with both of my parents. Then, as I got older,
Ibecame more aware of the money issues. Growing up my family, was between mymom's
medical bills for my brother and me and herself. Along with trying to payrent, get her kids to
school, and still put food on the table. This put me in a very different position than other kids I
knew growing up. I didn't know very manyother less fortunate kids than myself, and it was
very isolating for many yearsgrowing up. I also grew up as an LGBT person and a place that
was mostlyaccepting until the move to Texas, where things started not working out well forme
as a queer person. This led to bullying in middle school before I transferred tohomeschooling
due to unrelated events. Looking back at these circumstances Ibelieve I've become a more
open-minded and patient person to others because Iknow what it's like to be ostracised. I did,
however, love to read as a child. I usedto read any and any book I could pick up at the library.
I grew up mainly beinginfluenced by characters and stories. Heroes and people who did so
much goodfor the world, even when they didn't always have such a perfect life forthemselves.
I related a lot as a kid to these people. And I knew that even though Iwasn't in a great situation.
I could still help people. These experiences have givenme. a lot of values and beliefs when it
comes to a lot of values and beliefs when itcomes to many things. I think society can be very
cruel to those who are not likeeveryone else. Society has deep-rooted beliefs, even if people
don't share thosebeliefs in society. But it is very deeply rooted within it. I think this makes for
avery toxic cycle of people looking up to people who don't even exist, causenobody is who
society wants them to be. But many people pretend. I think societyhas become very shallow.
Instead of making a difference and letting people knowthat they aren't alone. It pushes people
down further. Pushes this belief that if youare not like everyone else, you are alone. And you're
not like me, and I don't likethat. I think it's extremely toxic and doesn't have any room for
growth within these deep-rooted systems. This never plays into the thought about how
childrengrew up, what their relationships with the people around them are, or what they'vedone
to be where they are. I also think that as a species, humans need to beinterconnected with each
other, sharing communities and spaces. Things andactivities that they enjoy. And with these
prevalent deep stigmatizations withinsociety, no one can have the community that they want.
We can't be as integratedas we need to be. As I've gotten older, I very much valued the aspect
ofCommunity. Simultaneously also appreciating that within communities, there areno people
who. Do not like you just because of who you are. Of course, there arepeople against anyone
for doing anything, but I think within smaller communitieswe thrive as people. I developed
through my young adult years. Better forms ofcommunication to help me further these values?
That means a lot to me. Now asan adult, I think I am different than other people I know. I feel
that I'm becomingthe adult I always wanted to be. Now that I'm older I've grown a ton I've
becomethe role model that I think I wish I had as a child. These events have made me, inmy
opinion, a good person and I'm very proud of how I became as an adult.In conclusion, different
experiences such as my background how I was raised,and where I was raised have shaped my
values my beliefs, and how I view things,especially society. I’ve become so patient and open-
minded along with growingup to be an adult that I know my children can grow up and view

lived in a fairly rough part of New York for themajority of my life. These experiences have
shaped me as a person. Along withthe loss of my father. Growing up in a single-parent
household, In my opinion,makes you see the economy and people's struggles within families
very prevalentfrom a very young age.do you wanna starting Things that weren't always
howthey were supposed to be or the picture-perfect family? I have an older brotherdiagnosed
with autism before I was even born. That already was a lot to deal with.As a young child. But
on top of that, I was very much stuck in the middle of myparent's divorce. My dad would never
want to see me. My mom would alwayswant him to get. To see me and try and get him to get
custody of me. And overall,just a very sticky situation, Irving, my parent's relationship with
each other,therefore affecting my relationship with both of my parents. Then, as I got older,
Ibecame more aware of the money issues. Growing up my family, was between mymom's
medical bills for my brother and me and herself. Along with trying to payrent, get her kids to
school, and still put food on the table. This put me in a very different position than other kids I
knew growing up. I didn't know very manyother less fortunate kids than myself, and it was
very isolating for many yearsgrowing up. I also grew up as an LGBT person and a place that
was mostlyaccepting until the move to Texas, where things started not working out well forme
as a queer person. This led to bullying in middle school before I transferred tohomeschooling
due to unrelated events. Looking back at these circumstances Ibelieve I've become a more
open-minded and patient person to others because Iknow what it's like to be ostracised. I did,
however, love to read as a child. I usedto read any and any book I could pick up at the library.
I grew up mainly beinginfluenced by characters and stories. Heroes and people who did so
much goodfor the world, even when they didn't always have such a perfect life forthemselves.
I related a lot as a kid to these people. And I knew that even though Iwasn't in a great situation.
I could still help people. These experiences have givenme. a lot of values and beliefs when it
comes to a lot of values and beliefs when itcomes to many things. I think society can be very
cruel to those who are not likeeveryone else. Society has deep-rooted beliefs, even if people
don't share thosebeliefs in society. But it is very deeply rooted within it. I think this makes for
avery toxic cycle of people looking up to people who don't even exist, causenobody is who
society wants them to be. But many people pretend. I think societyhas become very shallow.
Instead of making a difference and letting people knowthat they aren't alone. It pushes people
down further. Pushes this belief that if youare not like everyone else, you are alone. And you're
not like me, and I don't likethat. I think it's extremely toxic and doesn't have any room for
growth within these deep-rooted systems. This never plays into the thought about how
childrengrew up, what their relationships with the people around them are, or what they'vedone
to be where they are. I also think that as a species, humans need to beinterconnected with each
other, sharing communities and spaces. Things andactivities that they enjoy. And with these
prevalent deep stigmatizations withinsociety, no one can have the community that they want.
We can't be as integratedas we need to be. As I've gotten older, I very much valued the aspect
ofCommunity. Simultaneously also appreciating that within communities, there areno people
who. Do not like you just because of who you are. Of course, there arepeople against anyone
for doing anything, but I think within smaller communitieswe thrive as people. I developed
through my young adult years. Better forms ofcommunication to help me further these values?
That means a lot to me. Now asan adult, I think I am different than other people I know. I feel
that I'm becomingthe adult I always wanted to be. Now that I'm older I've grown a ton I've
becomethe role model that I think I wish I had as a child. These events have made me, inmy
opinion, a good person and I'm very proud of how I became as an adult.In conclusion, different
experiences such as my background how I was raised,and where I was raised have shaped my
values my beliefs, and how I view things,especially society. I’ve become so patient and open-
minded along with growingup to be an adult that I know my children can grow up and view
me as a rolemodel for them. Society can be very cruel and unjust towards others, but at theend
of the day we do create our society we are the society that pushes pressureupon people. Life
experiences can give us the motivation and effort to make the change we need happen. We can
make the necessary steps to change things andhave society view people in different ways.

custody of me. And overall,just a very sticky situation, Irving, my parent's relationship with
each other,therefore affecting my relationship with both of my parents. Then, as I got older,
Ibecame more aware of the money issues. Growing up my family, was between mymom's
medical bills for my brother and me and herself. Along with trying to payrent, get her kids to
school, and still put food on the table. This put me in a very different position than other kids I
knew growing up. I didn't know very manyother less fortunate kids than myself, and it was
very isolating for many yearsgrowing up. I also grew up as an LGBT person and a place that
was mostlyaccepting until the move to Texas, where things started not working out well forme
as a queer person. This led to bullying in middle school before I transferred tohomeschooling
due to unrelated events. Looking back at these circumstances Ibelieve I've become a more
open-minded and patient person to others because Iknow what it's like to be ostracised. I did,
however, love to read as a child. I usedto read any and any book I could pick up at the library.
I grew up mainly beinginfluenced by characters and stories. Heroes and people who did so
much goodfor the world, even when they didn't always have such a perfect life forthemselves.
I related a lot as a kid to these people. And I knew that even though Iwasn't in a great situation.
I could still help people. These experiences have givenme. a lot of values and beliefs when it
comes to a lot of values and beliefs when itcomes to many things. I think society can be very
cruel to those who are not likeeveryone else. Society has deep-rooted beliefs, even if people
don't share thosebeliefs in society. But it is very deeply rooted within it. I think this makes for
avery toxic cycle of people looking up to people who don't even exist, causenobody is who
society wants them to be. But many people pretend. I think societyhas become very shallow.
Instead of making a difference and letting people knowthat they aren't alone. It pushes people
down further. Pushes this belief that if youare not like everyone else, you are alone. And you're
not like me, and I don't likethat. I think it's extremely toxic and doesn't have any room for
growth within these deep-rooted systems. This never plays into the thought about how
childrengrew up, what their relationships with the people around them are, or what they'vedone
to be where they are. I also think that as a species, humans need to beinterconnected with each
other, sharing communities and spaces. Things andactivities that they enjoy. And with these
prevalent deep stigmatizations withinsociety, no one can have the community that they want.
We can't be as integratedas we need to be. As I've gotten older, I very much valued the aspect
ofCommunity. Simultaneously also appreciating that within communities, there areno people
who. Do not like you just because of who you are. Of course, there arepeople against anyone
for doing anything, but I think within smaller communitieswe thrive as people. I developed
through my young adult years. Better forms ofcommunication to help me further these values?
That means a lot to me. Now asan adult, I think I am different than other people I know. I feel
that I'm becomingthe adult I always wanted to be. Now that I'm older I've grown a ton I've
becomethe role model that I think I wish I had as a child. These events have made me, inmy
opinion, a good person and I'm very proud of how I became as an adult.In conclusion, different
experiences such as my background how I was raised,and where I was raised have shaped my
values my beliefs, and how I view things,especially society. I’ve become so patient and open-
minded along with growingup to be an adult that I know my children can grow up and view
me as a rolemodel for them. Society can be very cruel and unjust towards others, but at theend
of the day we do create our society we are the society that pushes pressureupon people. Life
experiences can give us the motivation and effort to make the change we need happen. We can
make the necessary steps to change things andhave society view people in different ways.
My values personal knowledge beliefs and views across certain things areinfluenced by my
background and several life experiences. Things such as myparents, where I grew up, and my
family dynamic was things that shaped me as aperson. I also had many hobbies as a child that
influenced my opinions which inturn influenced the type of person I became as an adult.My
values and personal knowledge and belief are deeply rooted in the life Igrew up with. I grew
up in what many would call a broken home. I had divorcedparents for my entire life And we
lived in a fairly rough part of New York for themajority of my life. These experiences have
shaped me as a person. Along withthe loss of my father. Growing up in a single-parent
household, In my opinion,makes you see the economy and people's struggles within families
very prevalentfrom a very young age.do you wanna starting Things that weren't always
howthey were supposed to be or the picture-perfect family? I have an older brotherdiagnosed
with autism before I was even born. That already was a lot to deal with.As a young child. But
