Realised where I want to be in life.
Reapplied for college, got accepted and am determined to make it work this time. 3rd time’s the charm.
Finally accepted that my mother is trying her hardest and is human too, because we’ve both accepted each other, we’ve now started developing a real relationship.
I’ve accepted myself and come to terms with the fact that I am not perfect, never will be and need to love who I am before any one else will.
a viv:
Finished College
Started doing things on my terms.
Amanda:
I’ve made it through. I have had my share of hysterical days, but I’ve managed to see the next one. I have adapted reasonably well to the fact my father, my closest friend, died unexpectedly at the end last year when I was 21, the one thing I always swore time and time again that I would never make it through. The mere fact that I am able to function is a major accomplishment for me.

I grew up, I lived by myself, I met the most amazing people in the entire world, I found out more about who I am, and I have a dream to pursue now.
A..:
Taught 4th graders about ecology – educating our future.
Pursued my passion of the environment.
Took leadership roles with enthusiasm.
Passed tests and classes with flying colors.

jay:
graduated basic military training and made it through one of the highest washout training schools.

Hard to say. Maybe it’ll sound a little silly, but I feel proud that I’m with the guy that I love right now. The past year has been a battle of us against the world it seems. Somehow, we’re together though. True love really does seem to conquer all. May this year bring more dreams coming true. š
Grace:
I realized that what I had gone through, didn’t need to hold me back anymore.
