Humans of Academy of the Redwoods

“When I was three and a half I moved from Argentina.. I was leaving my whole family… I feel like it has helped me be more grounded to the things that I can find, I don’t really need home to always be home, I can kinda find a way to be okay being independent and finding calmness in other things.”

“I felt really really alone, I think that was the first and predominant time I can remember most, feeling completely abandoned and alone…there were physical people there but there wasn’t actually anyone.. I felt alone in the sense that nothing was real.”

“ It’s pretty disappointing ,the other day I actually forgot that I was a teenager like having a normal life, I saw my self from a different perspective kinda like as if I would have been younger and more innocent… I have done a lot of things that I’m really proud of but there is a general feeling that like I could have done it better.”
