2. Introduction
The past 8 months have been a time of growth
for me. I have experienced many changes in
my living situation throughout this time and
been challenged in unusual ways. I have
learned a lot about myself and gained
invaluable perspective on the world. I’ve
definitely gained the most knowledge from all
the periods of struggle that I’ve gone through.
However, these photos showcase small
moments of peace in between all of the
organized chaos that’s apart of daily life. I think
that these tidbits of serenity, where you pause
to recognize beauty in unusual places, are
what makes life worth living.

it’s own guest

somehow gross
and
magnetizing all
at once.
11. Conclusion
Each of the photos in this essay
remind me of everything I’ve seen and
done this year. So much has changed
for me. Yet, I’ve truly learned to stop
and appreciate the little moments of
beauty in my life, because that’s what
makes all the hard work and
difficulties worth it for me. I know
that these past few months were just
the beginning. I have so many more
exciting changes in store and I can’t
wait to learn from the new
experiences that will come with them.
I wont be in America for the majority
of the coming year. Because of this,
I’m glad that I got to appreciate the
beauty of the places that I’ve lived in
my whole life in a new way
throughout the duration of these past
months.
