Becoming You {CLOSED}

Hello friends, 

Welcome to the "Becoming You" contest with WattpadFriendsandFamily and ProfileMentalHealth

There is a saying: 

"We can't know what's going to happen. We can just try to figure it out as we go along." — from Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson.

In this contest, we would love to see some emotional moments, some tight hugs and some unbelievable changes.

Join us and write about a remarkable point in your life, the sudden change makes your life turn upside down, how will you adapt? What can you find after everything?

Growing up, you always knew that you were different from everyone and somehow didn't make friends easily. Your family decided to move into a new country – believing that it will be the best for you to have a fresh start. Moving to a new town in the last year of school is an absolute nightmare, being apart from your only best friend isn't helping either. With the help of the people who trust and love you, slowly, you get to know and discover more about yourself.
