About me

Hi Everyone!
This is my first time on steemit thanks to my boyfriend (@kylek717). It is super cool to see everyone's opinions be able to comment in such a cool space.

A little (or a lot) about me;
I appreciate the small things in the world, I try not to take anything for granted and theres a reason for this. When I was 11, my parents divorced, unforunately something that is way more common than it should be. Fast forward through a couple of years and I'm 15, a sophomore in highschool, and my dad dies and I was never the same after that. I sort of went into a downhill spiral. I was depressed, I would bottle everything inside me and explode on people who were trying to help. I felt like I had no friends, I had terrible anxiety, I went through a bad break up, I thought I would become addicted to alcohol like my dad at one point. Then I started seeing a therapist and got put on some medication. Here I am, 20 years old, still dealing with my anxiety and depression which is now a lot more controlled than it was and for that i'm thankful. I'm a Special Education Major at Temple University and I have tried to be the most selfless person I can because of the loss I went through. I love teaching, I love inspiring young kids, I love seeing children with special needs succeed. I love making people happy.

I try my best to advocate for the things that are close to my heart; mental disorders, feminism, special education, addiction. If I can change one person's life or influence one of my future student's to do something amazing, then I will feel like I have changed the world even just a little. I believe that everyone is fighting their own battles we know nothing about and if I get through to just one person then the world will be better because of that.

Thanks for reading :)
