here is a blog describing the challenges I went throught my early years of high school.

so after the hero holiday trip in 2007. I've became a different person. I found a meaning in life. to help people is my goal. I have become open about my social anxiety and writing several more blogs on facebook. the videos and photos that i sent are not from my first hero holiday trip. after my first trip i decided. to go back 3 more times. I also became a community advocate for absolue.org. and have talked infront of high schools about what I went throught.  I also took part in the invisible children protest in vancouver earlier in the year and took volunteered in WE DAY. a 1 day motivational talk created by free the children. I plan to get myself into social work. starting next year when i go into university. i decided to take a year off. after graduading high school this june
