When I was younger I had a lot of friends and after school we would
hang out all the time and do a ton of
really cool and fun stuff like go
explore the woods and ding-dong-ditch people
It was a lot of fun. But when middle school came around they all
started doing a ton of sports and got really really crazy about it
And I just really hated sports and so slowly they
just stopped hanging out with me.
And every time I tried hanging out they would all have sports to do.
And in school they would only be talking about
sports at lunch and stuff. And I could
never add to the conversation. And so I just started like on the weekends not
hanging out or doing anything because
they could never hang out. So I just started playing a ton of Xbox.
It got so bad that while I was in school,
they would barely even talk to me or say hi
in the hallways because they were so
occupied with sports we kind of stopped being friends
One time I tried inviting them all over
for a sleepover so we get off fun again
but they said they couldn't because they
all had practice and then later that night I saw some post of them hanging
out on Instagram so I guess I just
didn't want to hang out with me anymore.
So my best friend's that I had for my whole life were like nobody anymore and
they just completely forgot about me. I felt completely ignored and so alone.
I didn't fit into anything and I started
to feel really bad about myself.
I started staying home more and more on the weekends and after school
cuz, none of my friends wanted to hang out cuz they all just kind of
forgot about me to do sports.
So I started watching a lot of YouTube and I started watching a ton of channels that did
really cool film stuff and animation and
really cool stuff like that.
one day I was really bored so I got the webcam on my computer and started making
like stop motions which is a really cool
way of animating with pictures and then
And then also started to really like like live action film self by myself in my house
And I started to really like it and I kind of got good at them sometimes I would show my parents them.
And they said the were pretty cool and stuff so my Mom signed me up for this program for like film I
and I went to it and it was really awesome because you've got to use
like really like high quality equipment
and really learn about film and get in depth with it and it was really cool and
there are also a lot of really nice kids
there that I became friends with they
were all into film. My favorite part is directing the movies we make there and I
feel like I finally found what I'd love to do.
Things haven't changed much for me at school because most of the kids only
love sports. Even though I miss my old
friends I'm really glad that I found my passion...
...something that I really love doing all the time I'm really happy now
