salute the mirror and see somebody I
wasn’t but I wanted to improve my
actions my name is Gil Torres is my
story I remember when I was younger I
wasn’t able to censor include tables why
he has it was either because I was too
loud annoying obnoxious in a curve
inside but I have perceived my day I
didn’t want the negativity to reflect on
hardly so I had to switch to lovely
different schools do to move it and each
time that happened I thought it was a
new environment I didn’t gain more
friends but that wasn’t the case so I
started talking popular girls and I know
it was messed up but I felt like there
was only resource I could have gone to
so the reason why I did this was because
they had so much friends inviting the
data I would kind of much friends as
they would like to so I was told I love
hamburgers oh it’s okay they’re just
jealous of your looks but I thought like
that was what I was gay friends so it
kind of went through one year and for
another so why I went home I have to
find a way to entertain myself I
remember on Pacific day I went into the
closet and I believe with heels dresses
bars has hours at a time and I’ve got
three villains I felt powerful confident
and tall and myself but I want to feel
those Millington school but I didn’t
have the courage to so when I got to
eyes
I try to access her attention
I know what you baby you trying to be
the center of attention
associate are walking through the
hallways it’s teen girls and boys gather
in group and I was walking through the
hallway and heard me
and so that’s why I felt inside of
myself but then must a group of friends
finally and I was playing with my so
many things and that wouldn’t read
didn’t lately for me that like maybe
because I was a popular at the time and
I was getting lately as the class clown
all those names I was called that and
that gave me friends but when I found
out the forms present at the second
turning into third trimester I have to
change my actions because I knew that
stress died without her babe I also
wanted to be a role model through the
father’s around me as well as my three
siblings I didn’t want them seeing me
and I didn’t ask for suspension how does
that sound
I wanted them to follow her follow my
footsteps to success not all my
footsteps and of energy so I started
reading books to learn more down myself
and I never knew that I would turn to
looks as and there as therapy because I
was lost and I needed somewhere to go
and there are other books I started
reading
I might get a doctorate because I’m
honest and righteous and one reason out
of many is because I’m gonna share my
joy with others
I wanna tell oh it is possible to
conquer your fears it’s possible to
conquer challenges and as possible to
conquer obstacles because I didn’t do
that I had the parachute I wanna be
standing on the stage talking to all
that so I just wanna fall over on top of
me and I think it’s a beautiful day this
week at capture nature and simple oh so
the challenges I have to face while
improving my behavior was giving up my
wonderfully friendly
I remember at lunch I would look at the
medical child and sit somewhere else I
want to sit with them
because I do if I started them I would
never be able to turn my actions around
so I started improving my behavior a
certain focusing point class my grades
and my lifetime goals I believe I’m not
pretending to be someone I’m not as over
the years came I started getting
confidence in myself if I knew French to
just be me and I’m wondering from right
now well I want learning new things
because if I didn’t have that growth
mindset I wouldn’t be everywhere with it
I might live in here so I just want you
all to know that I love me for me every
new and not cartography so the more the
story

buh-buh-buh-buh-buh City just to be a
successful I had today
