Most unexpected moment: As a young girl, I had been bullied by a classmate for so long.  It finally escalated to the point where the school counselor brought us together to determine why she had been treating me so poorly. To my surprise, the girl admitted she didn’t have a reason to be mean to me and that she thought I was the sweetest person she knew. It made me realize that a bully doesn’t always have a reason for their actions against a specific victim.

Biggest accomplishment: My biggest accomplishment is overcoming one of life’s hardest obstacles-bullying. Also, I am an author of a book to help others who are facing the same situation, bullying.
