Triumph
"It seemed impossible to achieve until it became possible."
"I was so excruciatingly shy that when I stood on stage by myself and made myself as big as I could, it felt empowering and nothing bad happened. No one bullied me at that moment. They cheered. It was a good self-confidence booster.
drawings: a microphone, A person with two open arms standing on a stage while saying My name is Naomi!
Death
"It made me appreciate friendship and time spent with those people."
"The days before the vet put him down, he was suffering and there was nothing I could do and when he was euthanized, I saw the life leave his body through the pupils of his eyes and his breath.
