I mean, every time that i tell my 38 year-old cousin that I Love someone, they always say that I’m too young, or that I don’t know what that word means. But the way that I feel is that, since Love is an emotion, so it’s not able to be taught or learned. It’s something that you feel. So how can someone tell you that you’re too young?

          GCP has influenced me and changed my life. People have influenced me from the teachers to the students that I’ve met. I’m more out spoken and less shy. I’ve gained tons of knowledge. I’ve visited plenty of colleges and learned how to push myself and never give up, no matter whose doubting you. I’ve matured so much. I learned the mature way to solve problems, instead of being mean or fussing and making the problem worse.

          I’ve made friends and lost friends. But in life, this has taught me that everyone isn’t going to stick with you nor be your friend forever. And I’ve learned that true friends will stick with you even when you go through that stage of thinking that you’re all that or that you don’t need them. They stick with you and stay with you and help you try and come back to your senses.

          Even though I’ve lost friends, that’s okay because it taught me that you can’t trust everyone.  I’ve become a way better person.

          Many people have helped me make it through the years. For example, from me n Tesha having a good time and laughing to her giving me wise advice when I need help. Noel acting slow and always making me laugh when she knows that I’m going through something and helping me too. Alysha doing something wild and being loud or acting ghetto. Jasmine and I talking about the most “out there” things. My “brothers” Xzavian and Daniel acting crazy and always joking and “sticking up” for me (if that’s what you want to call it…lol). Natalie always giving me a good laugh and being so country. (lol). Reuben and Tyre always picking on me and being silly but always being there when I need advice. Erik always having something “smart” to say or being annoying (lol). I’m going to miss many other people and experiences that I’ve enjoyed to. This year has gone by so fast. I hope that I don’t forget any of ya’ll. I’m going to miss you all. (Well most of you at least. Lol.)
