This is my journey from Grade 7 to Grade 10 filled with loneliness, silly rumors, happy memories, and the biggest lesson I ever learned. I started feeling lost and stopped trusting people after hard times in Grade 7. When Grade 8 came, I met old friends again: Kate, James, and Armea, who slowly became my closest best friend. But people started gossiping and misunderstanding our friendship, even though we were just girls who cared for each other. I was scared to get close to anyone, afraid that everything would just turn into another issue. I held on to my dream of becoming an athlete, and joined running in our school Intramurals. I didn't always win, and there were times I wanted to give up completely. But through every race, every mistake, every tear I shared with Armea, and every word of encouragement from my coach I slowly found my way. I spent so long looking for someone to lean on, someone to understand me, someone to be proud of. Until I finally realized: The girl in my line of sight... is me. I am the one who will keep running. I am the one who will reach my dreams. And I am the one I should believe in the most. 📌 Disclaimer This story is based on my real experiences and true memories.
