For this last blog post I'm going to talk about a life changing experience. This post was assigned to me by my teacher, so I hope that this will be a good one. I don't like to talk about this topic, but I feel that I should share this with my classmates because it reveals a little more about myself.
6th grade was the most challenging school year that I had ever had during my time in elementary school. First off, I felt like I had no friends because no one would include me in anything and I would always go home crying. People had started drinking and smoking, which was something I wasn't cool with, so they basically shut me out or ignored me for not doing what they like to do. Little did I know that this would effect me later on in life always thinking that I could not be accepted by anyone.
Second, my parents were getting a divorce. For a long time they would fight and argue, and most of the time I would hear those arguments. My mom had started to sleep in a different room and my dad would stay out late at night or spend his time in the garage working on his car. When my mom finally told me that he was moving out and that they were getting a divorce, at first I felt somewhat relieved. My mom could finally have some peace of mind and I wouldn't have to worry about my dad yelling at my brother and I all the time.
Over time, however, things would get worse for me. I would cry at school because I was so jealous of all the kids who had parents that were still together, and it was forced upon me to see a counselor because I would start to have serious anxiety attacks at school. That whole year was so bad and there was not much that anyone could do for me.
That year was life changing for me. It has shaped who I am today, still with anxiety and other various problems that no one knows about. Thankfully I have my mother to keep me laughing and everything. I don't think any year could compare to that one.
