 My creative process involves gathering inspiration, brainstorming ideas, organizing them into a plan, executing the project, and then reviewing. One project I'm proud of was where I used an electric battery to make a moving Lego. I think it was an engineering-like class where we decided to make a Lego but had to put commands into it with our computers and with a battery to power it. We decided me and my partner I to make a robot where I built the robot, and he put in the commands. We did do it, and I was proud as I liked playing Legos back then so I was happy that I got to use my building skills to make a Lego that can do the commands being programmed into it.

 A hiatus I took was when my family contracted Covid-19 it was only my mom and dad. At the time I was with my uncles when I heard the news, so my mom decided it was best for me to not come back to the house until they weren't sick anymore and to make sure I wouldn't be able to get the virus my mom sent me South Georgia where there's less people and that my Grandpa would take care of me until so. I felt scared as I didn't know if Covid was fatal at the time, so I mostly worried for my parents and my sisters and I spent most of my time just playing video games as everyone was in quarantine in the summer of 2020. But everything was fine after 2 weeks and I returned to Atlanta my parents didn't have covid anymore, so I was glad they were safe and in perfect health.

 Something that I wish that I could unhear would be the ending of Avengers Infinity War. It was the day after the movie came out and my family and I were getting ready to go watch the film. I was just in the living room scrolling through theory videos and I accidentally came across a video about the movie and how it ended. I quickly got off YouTube and went to the movies to see it while in my head I was denying what I saw and thought it to be fake after the movie, I was disappointed with getting spoiled through YouTube about the ending and I still wish I didn't get spoiled so I could have enjoyed the movie.

 When I met my friend, they were deeply depressed and were struggling. I spent more time with them, listened without judging, and encouraged them to talk about their feelings. We did small activities together, like taking walks and over time, they started to open up, laugh, and engage in conversations. One day, they told me they didn't know where they'd be without me in a note they wrote to me. That moment made me realize the difference I had made at this point in their life. 

A place where I feel most comfortable, and at peace is at the field right near where I live. I usually go there to walk or jog by myself with my headphones on or bring my electric scooter to the field and when I go fast on the scooter while listening to music it feels like I'm free or have a feeling of joy and me just having fun.

 During a difficult time in my life, my parents told me, "No matter what happens, we will always be here for you. You are never alone." Their words gave me comfort and security. Knowing I had their support helped me face challenges and that family is always there for you no matter what.

 There was a time when I had an assignment that I just couldn't understand. I felt overwhelmed and stressed. My mom noticed and offered her help. Relying on her felt comforting and reassuring, knowing she had my back.
