Humans of AR

Interviewing my classmate Fiona.

By Jade P. from Academy of the Redwoods in California

“I would like to be remembered as just someone who has done a lot of good things and that has really contributed back to our world and our society and our community here at AR and wherever I go in life I just want to be remembered as just me, as an authentic person.”

“I mean I wouldn’t say that when I felt most alone it lasted for a really long time. I would say there definitely were moments when I was feeling really alone. I think when I was in elementary school and when I was in middle school for a really long time I felt like I was kind of invisible and I think it's worse to feel invisible then to actually be alone cause it’s almost like everyone around you is breathing while you’re drowning and I felt like it was a really hard time for me but I mean it’s over now but I feel like people just didn’t understand me or they didn’t see me for who I was and I was always in someone else’s shadow so would say that’s when I felt most alone.”
