Regrets and the most important person

By Katie S. from Academy of the Redwoods in California

“I feel like there are some things that I regret obviously because I’ve done some stupid things, but I try not to dwell on those and I can’t change what I’ve done… I don’t want to dwell on that.”

“The most important person in my life is probably my sister. She’s been such a big influence on who I am and I feel like she genuinely cares about me, and I enjoy her company also.”
