Life Map

A journey involving frequent relocations, financial challenges, and significant personal growth is depicted. Born in India and moving to places like Etobicoke and Brampton, the individual faced numerous difficulties, including the need to adapt to new environments and manage friendships left behind.

Life Map

Having to deal with confrontation from past hardships for me leaving. (The friend group)

Leaving behind good old friends, but it was worth the sacrifice.

She taught me how to seize the day.

Genuinely feeling comfortable in myself and who I am. She helped me get out of my shell and embrace me.

Seeing different perspective on things and changing my mindset. Not being so narrow minded.

Working through these issues and changes, I learned more about myself. (I am an introvert and I HATE big groups)

Pushing through hardships and friendships or me to understand who I was and what I like.

Doing things outside my comfort zone that I never really felt comfortable doing. (Negative experiences)

Could not figure out if I was really wanted or important to my friends.

Trying to fit into the wrong crowd and not being confident in who I am.

Middle School (2014-2017)

Sometimes dealing with issues such as not being able to buy certain necessities

Be very strict on money and not being able to spend it freely or do certain things.

Keeping in mind regardless of this struggle, We/I are extremely grateful for what we still have and can possess.

Sometimes, feeling like a grade defines me and my worth.

Hard work and endless hours of my day after school dedicated.

Trying my best to keep myself motivated to work hard by doing things such as; making lists, setting time limits, taking time or myself to focus back onto homework.

Looking forward to studying sciences and math. Also being able to practice my skills and get better at certain things such as procrastination and time management.

Excited to learn new things in different courses that were not offered previously in middle school.

2017- Present

Scared to ask for help when needed and hesitant to do things outside my comfort zone.

Scared to enter a new environment. New teachers and everything.

Leaving my bestfriend behind as we do not attend the same highschool.

Being happy about growing up. Looking forward to my life after high school and everything I can accomplish.

Looking forward to graduate and study science. And, of course, make my family proud.

I am also excited at the same time to leave Brampton and start something new. I have big plans that I hope to achieve. (For instance, attending university but also live with my best friend in 3 different places - Toronto, New York and Vancouver)

Scared for the future and what it holds for me. The thought of leaving high school is exciting and nerve racking at the same time.

Talking to others and having the support of my friends helped immensely.

With time however, I learned to be comfortable and that it is a necessity,so I might as well begin to practice.

At first, it was difficult to overcome this. I was afraid to do almost anything that involved me speaking.

Making new friends. A new beginning.

Branching out of my shell and learning how to speak for myself once I became comfortable in the environment.

Being responsible and mindful of others too. Keeping an optimistic view on life.

Grade 8 (2016-2017)

High school taught me Independence. From ordering my own food, making an appointment with guidance, it has taught me to ask for what I need.

Learning how to be manageable and smart about how to spend money.WORKING HARD AND THINKING AHEAD.

As mentioned before, I gained confidence and better social skills. I am not nervous to start a conversation with someone new. (I broke out of my shell)
