“I’m really friendly. I’m always willing to make friends. I like smashing stuff, like most kids.
I make friends fast. When I wanted to make friends in Great Falls, they were friends for like a day and then they just dropped down. I only had two friends.
All the kids were spoiled. They were always getting expensive stuff, like really nice Nike shoes. All the kids cared about was Fortnite. I don’t like Fortnite.
I came to the group home because my anger and depression got out of hand. I had two younger sisters, three and five, a younger brother that was nine, and a fourteen-year-old sister. I had cats and dogs too; they were always trying to bug me and do something with me. My older sister only cared about Snap Chat and Instagram.
When I get angry now, I distract myself, listen to music, or take time in my room.
When I get older, I want to join the military and be one of those game programmers. I’m really good at coding. I’ve coded on a site called Scratch.”
