Research And Planning Blog

 Hello bloggers. I brought up struggles, interests, sports, and family because those have been things that have affected me in all different ways. I was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida but my parents weren't. They were born in Tunisia and Germany which led me to travel overseas since I was born. The first picture I included was the first time I had been to Germany and later on that day, I took my first steps. Fun fact, German is actually my first language and it was pretty hard to switch to English because my mom didn't speak English at the time. My father was in the military for 10 years which led us to have a pretty strict household. I've never moved or lived anywhere else. I've always stayed in South Florida and practically grew up on the water (the second picture shown). As cliché as it sounds, the beach is my comfort place and I like just going alone when i need to think or when i need some time to myself but mainly in the evening. I have a lot of friends and I'm not as shy anymore but i still do prefer being more alone instead. I've always been like that especially in school because i had always taken school very seriously and my parents were very strict when it came to anything lower than a "high b". I honestly appreciated it because i was always on track and had straight A's. When Covid-19 came around, it was hard. I was already dealing with personal issues at home, with friends, and my medical issues started. I was in and out of the hospital every day and became diagnosed with anxiety and depression which led me to give up on school. I had no care or motivation and my grades flew down but I wasn't bothered with it by that point. Having that mindset was horrible and it was hard to get back up after. Going back to school didn't really help it and my medical issues came back after winter break during my freshman year and i got the reality check when i was told i would most likely be kicked out if i really didn't get it together and i did. I started new medication and really put my focus back into school instead of being out every day with friends and doing nothing.
