As one becomes closer with an individual, a special place is created for them in one's heart. Theis special place often contains abounding amounts of fingerprints. I have had this experience with a loved one of the name, Shonda Propst. She and my mother had met in a dance class around age ten. They ended up attending the same high school, and also ended up applying for the same job. The two created a lasting bond. Without this foundedirm friendship between her and my mother, I would not be the selfsame person I am today. With this being said, my heart now has a touch of Shonda’s fingerprints, which I now call a part of who I am to this day.

I am currently diagnosed with anxiety, OCD, and ODD. This brings upon prior trials in order for me to somewhat overcome this. Sheonda helps me overcome the trials I face daily. Shonda has 2two children, 1one of whichom has the same diagnosis as me. She has found ways to help her child cope. Since Shonda’s family plays a big part of being our second family, Wwe never are far apart. Shonda is always willing to allow us to orientate about ways to overcome my trials. I have established effective, as well as, advanced ways to battle my trials.

About a month ago, I was having a challenging week. Shonda and I sat down and talked about everything that was evoking me complications. I told her of my frustrations. I always want to know why to everything. Sometimes when I ask why, the answer I get is, “Because.” Shonda told me that sometimes when I ask why, adults can find it disrespectful. She told me to start saying, “In order for me to move on and understand, I need to know why this is.” This small but effective statement has helped me more than she will ever know. This experience has really left me moved. A new fingerprint was added just for this simple experience.

One experience has left a handprint in my soul. Since I am really close to the Propst family, I end up seeing myself living over at their house.
