"I used to be like one of those people who hated every version of myself, that wasn't me now, I thought I was pretty cringy in my old school. So, I am proud that I got past that and I can just look at it objectively and not be like “Wow why was I so weird?” and instead know that was just me."
"I want to go to some sort of school after this like a Marine Biology or culinary school, I just want to be happy as an adult and not do some boring office job."
