Bridge Activity – Self Portrait

Strength, not physical strength but mental strength is what keeps me going and has made me the person I am today. Since elementary school I have been bullied and harassed for being the person I am. I always thought that my mind had a wall around it that protected me from the mean things people said to me, but with every mean comment I felt as though the hard wall would be broken down brick by brick. But my mother told that the only reason she’s trusting me to go New York is because I am such a strong person, and that she wouldn’t have let me go if I couldn’t handle it. This gave me hope because knowing that my mother trusts me to go to such a big city I have to show her that she was always right.
