over me.For almost a year I struggled on,constantly staring at this wall that faced me.Myperfectionist tendencies were the main root of this:I wanted to be perfect at whatever I did,which obviously in

join the Youth for Nature andthe Youth for Planet groups were sent around through my high school.I decided to commit to completing the applications,and soon I was a part of a growing global team of
