Changed

     Getting evicted and my mom struggling to find a place made my personal life stressful and people started to notice at school (Prosser). They noticed i had changed and was distancing myself from everyone. My teacher had pulled me aside and said that she was worried about me. She said that i usually have this glow in my eyes but lately she has noticed that glow was dimming. We sat in the hallway and cried together and honestly it felt so good to finally fall apart. For so long i felt like i was trying to hold myself together because i had to be strong. It was my senior year ao i assumed that i had to have my life together and at home because i felt like if i fell apart it would break my mom and it would escalate her drinking so i held it in. I acted strong.

     After we ceied in the hall my teacjer then sent me to the counselor to see how she or the school could help and wanted to give me some time to calm down begore going to class. After that i would tell them everything and they did what they could to help. They gave me a folder of resources, they helped get me in touch with a social worked who could help me find work and help fine us a place to stay. They then found transportation for me and my brother in case we needed it for school. They were just ao sweet and i couldnt have asked for anyone better to help me out in a stressful situation. They also reassured me that all because i was about to graduate dosent mean i had to have everything planned and know what i was gonna do with the rest of my life and it all just helped me so much.
