Realizations of growing up

By Raya G. from Academy of the Redwoods in California

“I have become exactly the opposite of who I thought I’d be I never expected to have as many friends as I do now, I never expected to be living where I am now or going to this kind of high school, I never expected to dress the way I do or have my hair the way that it is. I always thought I would be a really good soccer player when I got to high school or that I would be like super popular, those dreams didn’t really pan out, a lot of lifestyle choices are different”
