this's an essay i wrote in la. the theme we had to do was either write a tough decision i made, write about an action that changed my way of viewing the world, or wrote abt someone that influenced me. i made it a sorta mixture between an action that made me view the world differently and someone that influenced me. and by influenced *me* i mean the person ur viewing the story from, which is /not/ me lol. umm idk how deep or happy this is suppose to feel bc i only have one reaction from it and it was my mom, and y'all know how moms are. these interactions between the characters r a boy and girl. BUT ANYWAYS, i hope u enjoy reading it :) i got a 91 on this so i hope it's worth it 😤
