My thoughts on this quote is that a person is going through something, and they don ´ t know who they are right now. They are having a hard time trying to figure out who they are, they just pretend around others.

Mkaya Banks

10/24/2022 05:09:46 pm

This is exactly what I said or what I was trying to say that everyone in some shape form of fashion is still looking for themselves still trying to find out who they are so i agree with your comment.

chase moore 6b

10/24/2022 05:23:57 pm

i think that she didint know who she was and trying to find herself but i feel like she should take the time she needs to figure it out for herself

A. Tindle 7b

10/25/2022 08:42:43 pm

This quote is actually very similar to a male actors quote named Cary Grant, and i agree that the quote gives off someone trying to find themselves.

Jamiya terry 5B

10/26/2022 09:39:16 am

I agree because it seems like they are trying to find themselves. and because we have that person we were before than we have that person who we became after and last we have that person we are today

Zariya Boyce

I agree I feel as if they were trying to pretend to be something they weren't, but soon figured that's not who they wanna be.

i agree, because people try too much to find who they are but also get lost along the way.

R. Waits 7B

10/26/2022 10:36:02 am

I beg to differ because instead of feeling lost, they knew exactly who they were and just didn't enjoy it. They wanted a change and became that change as they pretended.

Bradley A.

10/28/2022 11:58:19 pm

I agree because sometimes we pretend who we want to be because we don't like the person we actually are.

heavenle harper

10/26/2022 11:16:51 am

i argree, sometimes when us as human get stuck on something we want it takes over us. what i mean by that is u can lose yourself but working to a goal that is draining you mentally.

Alaina Bradley 6B

10/26/2022 11:48:42 am

I agree, because bullies affect other people's lives. Maybe that person was bullied.

Janelle Melgar 6B link

10/26/2022 11:58:45 am

I agree. This person could be trying to fix in with certain people, but in order to do so they have to change themselves, and at one point they lost themselves.

It shows that whatever you were back in the day that it's gone. It shows that you can become the person you wanted to become or someone better. All 'n all, you can meet up with the person you've became and what you once was.

I agree, people might not always be the person they were before because they want to change how how they've act or treated someone.

Jared Castillo 3A

10/27/2022 12:59:21 pm

I agree. This person is pretending to be someone he wants and then turns into that person

ireuna scott 6B

10/28/2022 10:53:42 am

i agree because that person was trying to be someone they wasn't and by being their self they became someone better.

Melissa Contreras 6B

10/28/2022 11:27:42 pm

I understand what your trying to say however I’m not sure if I agree. Yes they became a different person, yet the original isn’t necessarily gone. They just don’t know who it is.

A. Bradley

10/28/2022 11:59:11 pm

I agree because if you ever want to get something done, you have to believe it. If not, it will not become true

Breonna Washington

I do know that a lot of people do that on a daily and that you are right to say that they may have a problem or they may be putting up a front.

i agree to

Rosalyn Aponte 2A link

10/26/2022 07:18:21 pm

They may be going through a difficult time, and their only decision is to pretend to be someone they're not to feel better. They need this step to say they're okay at the moment to eventually be happy.

Adrian Correa 2A

10/27/2022 11:13:16 am

i agree because, to be able to find yourself you need to be true to yourself and not fake a personality to feel happy.

Zariya Boyce 1A

10/27/2022 08:57:05 am

I feel as if they were trying to please someone, or were trying to fit in. Trying to be like others ,and maybe lost them self in the process.

C Valdez 3A

10/27/2022 01:05:28 pm

I think the person becoming who they wanted to be is a good thing because it's who they wanted to become.

Melissa Contreras 6B

10/28/2022 11:43:34 am

I understand what you're trying to say by saying they pretend around others. This person doesn't know who they really are and ended up becoming a different person. They do this by pretending that they know who they want to be.

favian garnica

11/4/2022 09:37:26 am

yes i agree with that cause when people are going through it you really dont know who you are.better to talk someone and find yourself again and go through whatever they are going through.and the person aint talking to no one and should really talk to someone

Khamari Caldwell

10/24/2022 10:44:45 am

They wanted to be somebody so bad that it took over them. Basically he/she became one person by not being themselves. Not being yourself can make you a whole different person.

A. Green 3a

10/24/2022 11:21:12 am

I agree, you cannot change the person you are deep inside.

Bralin W 6B

Joshua Deleon

10/24/2022 12:43:17 pm

I agree, the person pretended for too long to the point where they lost their genuine personality.

Victoria Taylor 6b

10/24/2022 07:06:11 pm

I agree with your comment. you should do your best to feel comfortable with who you are already, but you shouldn't change your personality for that

Jamiya terry 5B

10/26/2022 09:42:37 am

I agree with u on some parts of this but we are our own person which means its up to us to choose our own path and who or what we wanna be not for anyone else to do so

Janelle Melgar 6B link

10/26/2022 11:58:40 am

I agree. They are basically having an identify crisis and they are struggling with trying to find out who they really are.

M Tomah 6B

10/27/2022 09:35:31 pm

I agree, because when you forget who you truly are, it takes some time to become that person again.

A. Green 3a

10/24/2022 11:20:41 am

This quote makes me think that this person truly doesn't know who they are. It sounds like they chose a personality and decided that's who they are. However; you cannot choose who you are.

Joshua Deleon

10/24/2022 12:40:01 pm

I agree, you should do your best to feel comfortable, but you shouldn't change your personality for that.

Raheem Beck 5b

10/26/2022 09:38:56 am

To an extent i agree with you, you cant decide who you are but you can make small alterations that will set you up to better your life. Change isn´t always bad change.

Breonna Washington

10/26/2022 02:04:13 pm

I to do feel like people pick and choose on who they want to act like or look like but also be sad in the process of it.

M Tomah 6B

10/27/2022 09:36:37 pm

I disagree, because you are the only person who can choose who you really are. Nobody else can.

Kevin Jacinto 6B

10/28/2022 11:34:25 am

I agree with you, that one doesn't choose who they are, but choose a personality they dont enjoy.

Bralin W 6B

10/24/2022 11:54:03 am

This quote shows that that person hasn't figured out their true self yet. And they are struggling to do that so they pretend to be something that they arent. So you really shouldn't try to be someone that you arent just because someone or multiple people want you too.

Mkaya Banks

10/24/2022 05:14:53 pm

Trying to force yourself to become something you're not to impress other people can put you through a lot of pain and suffering so letting to come natural to you is the best thing you can do for yourself I can agree on this comment.

A. Hernandez 5B

10/26/2022 09:45:10 am

I disagree, because he is trying to become what he wants to be for the better. He was lost and now he found his true self, he was never trying to be somebody else. He wanted to change for the better in order to make him happy.

Xavier McDonald

10/26/2022 02:24:15 pm

I disagree because you should always try to find yourself.

Raheem beck 5b

10/26/2022 09:40:49 am

I dont agree because if you can manifest where you will be in life why wait. Take that risk and live a life you hope for if thats truly what you actually want not nobody else.

Adrian Correa 2A

10/27/2022 11:22:43 am

i disagree with your statement because, there is a difference between manifestation and being true to yourself for example manifestation is the desire to make the purpose of turning them true, so if your not true to your self how can you make that manifestation real if your not true to yourself?

Sydney Griffin link

10/26/2022 07:53:07 pm

I agree, no one should try and change who they are for someone because at the end of the day they do what makes them truly happy.

Kevin Jacinto 6B

10/28/2022 11:35:42 am

I agree with you, because this person became something they didn't want to become. So they are struggling what their true destination is.

Joshua Deleon

10/24/2022 12:37:55 pm

This quote tells me that this person was pretending to be someone else and pretending to be this person has let it take over their main personality.

Mkaya Banks

10/24/2022 05:06:19 pm

Hearing the words "I finally became that person" in my mind that means you have been searching for the real you for a long period of time maybe you were confused on who you wanted to be or who you thought you would come out to be."That person became me we met" In my perspective, you were someone but something happened to where you became somebody else or you were around someone so much that you became them or a version of them.There are different ways to look at it but I feel like that way you should look at it as if you were this person but something negative or something positive happened to you and you became this whole different person you finally met the real you in both scenarios the pretend you finally met the real side of you.

K. Coleman 7B

10/26/2022 12:40:41 pm

I agree with this, because therefore she could've become overwhelmed with who she became or someone became her.

M. Moore 7B

10/26/2022 02:44:11 pm

I love your way of words.Great job!

Madelyne Rodriguez 6B

10/28/2022 11:36:46 am

I understand this because that person seemed to be really confused about themselves and made them want to be someone who their not and wanted to feel like he understand himself and knows who he is.

Victoria Taylor 6b

10/24/2022 07:03:59 pm

They were overwhelmed because they wanted to be someone. Essentially, they have to become a person by not being themselves. Not being yourself can make you a completely different person.

A.Tindle 7b

10/25/2022 08:48:32 pm

Thank you, I didnt think of it that way, and i definitely agree with the not being yourself can make you someone else. Sometimes people like the new person they become, but other times when they were trying to change, they completely forget to be themselves as well.

A. Tindle 7b

10/25/2022 08:38:09 pm

To me, this quote could mean multiply things, but i take it as you decide who you want to be. He used the word pretending, because he probably felt as if the person he wanted to become would not be real.The fact that he could become the person he wanted to be means that he was that person all along.

Raheem Beck 5B

10/26/2022 09:35:30 am

I believe this person pretended to be what they looked for in there future and finally got to that point. Manifesting where they believed they should be in their near life and at some point they finally met. I believe if you´re not changing yourself to fit in or because someone told you, but truly for where you would like your success to lie there should be no problem in altering yourself for the better.

A. Hernandez 5B

10/26/2022 09:48:30 am

I agree, because he was trying to change for the better in order to pursue his happiness. He set a goal for himself and finally reached it after a long period of time. Now that he became the person that he wanted to be, he is finally happy.

R. Waits 7B

10/26/2022 10:30:06 am

I completely agree with this statement because during the pretend stage, they slowly altered themselves to become better.

Alexis pescina 1B

10/26/2022 09:39:16 am

change to be a better person separating from its old self

C Valdez 3A

10/27/2022 01:08:25 pm

That's what I think as well the person pretending to be who they wanted to be could be seen as a good thing because you'd want to pretend to be someone better than you and they could be improving.

A. Hernandez 5B

10/26/2022 09:39:25 am

My thought on this quote is that he is trying to set a goal for himself. He is trying to find his true self and turn into that person. He didnt like the person that he was before. Because of that he wanted to change and he finally did.

Mackenly Mitchell link

10/26/2022 12:23:55 pm

That was my view of it as well. Maybe he wanted to better himself and his strategy to doing so was pretending to be that person.

Jamiya Terry 5B

10/26/2022 09:45:35 am

I feel like this person knew who he wanted to be so when they finally found that person it became them fully or that person became them

Jadon Hernandez 5B

10/26/2022 11:07:08 am

I agree, all it takes is strength and courage, to become the person we truly want to be.

tony robinson

10/26/2022 09:54:36 am

pretending to be something or some one your not can make you look bad knowing your not that type of person.In other words if the person became you then you have probably been through something that made you become that type of person.

Jadon Hernandez 5B

10/26/2022 11:03:34 am

I agree, the way society treats us, can have an impact on who we are as a person.

ryan brown 3A

10/26/2022 11:39:53 am

I agree with what you said, but you should capitalize that ¨ p ¨ in pretending.

R. Waits 7B

10/26/2022 10:28:23 am

My thoughts on this particular quote is that I honestly have been through this myself. It's confusing to a tee because during this transition, you can easily lose yourself. It's almost like manifesting who you wanted to be and pushing yourself to be at that level.

heavenle harper

10/26/2022 11:13:35 am

i understand your comment. i said things in my comment that was similar to what your saying.

I like the way you view the world. Great job!

Jadon Hernandez 5B

10/26/2022 10:58:07 am

They tried to be somebody that they weren't, and eventually became that person. Maybe it was them all along deep down inside. They can't decide if this is truly them as a person or not.

Mya Espino 7B

10/26/2022 12:43:10 pm

I definitely agree, because they don't know who they are anymore and they only changed because maybe others wanted them to.

Arrianah Bates

10/26/2022 11:06:58 am

My thoughts on this quote are don't pretend to be anything. Be the person you wanna be.

heavenle harper

10/26/2022 11:10:49 am

I can relate to this quote ,because in the past i knew i wanted to be. Once i became that person i was succesful but not happy. I had everything i wanted but still felt gaps in my soul.

Rylie Brown 7B

10/26/2022 12:45:00 pm

I liked the way you put it because I never considered it in terms of my own life.

Ryan Brown 3A

10/26/2022 11:32:53 am

You should always chase your dreams. You should always be trying to become who you want to be. If you put in enough hard work then you can become the person you wanted to be.

R. Brown 7B

10/26/2022 12:48:42 pm

I appreciate the fact that you kind of add more to the comment. Like you said become the person you want to be, which is great.

marina santos 7b

10/26/2022 12:54:02 pm

i think this statement is true until that person cannot see who they truely was before they took on that different persona.

Andrea 5B

10/26/2022 11:35:53 am

To me what does self love even mean? How do we begin to find something "good" about ourselves when we are trapped in darkness. The whole reason we despise ourselves is because we can only see the parts we hate so forcing ourselves to find "good things" feels pointless like we just be making it up. It's a real sentiment but that's not how life works instead I think it's when someone else says they "love you" that you are finally able to start loving yourself. When someone truly accepts who you are that is when you can start to forgive yourself and suddenly see the good things you had all along.

M. Davis

10/27/2022 09:04:17 am

Yes, self love is important !

A. Bradley 6B

10/26/2022 11:50:12 am

I think the quote is saying that if you have a mindset where you believe that you are something, you will become whatever you believe yourself to be. Or if you believe you can do something, you will do what do believe yourself can do.

Janelle Melgar 6B link

10/26/2022 11:58:26 am

To me this quote means someone is struggling with their identity. They are trying so hard to be someone they aren't. Finally when they change into that person they lose the person they use to be which can hurt them and others later on. There could be a point hopefully you are able to merge the both together and come out with a good outcome.

Mya Espino 7B

10/26/2022 12:40:41 pm

I agree, because when you try to change yourself to be someone else, you can lose yourself in the process.

I. Ortiz 7B

10/26/2022 12:54:33 pm

I agree with you because once you've lost yourself you realize how much your going to miss the person you once were.

Fanny Maltos 3A

10/27/2022 01:14:24 pm

I agree with you because this person was trying to be a different person but than he lost hope.

Madelyne Rodriguez 6B

10/28/2022 11:33:57 am

That's very true because that person did struggle with their identity and didn't actually know who they really were, they also preferred to be someone they really aren't.

Alaina Bradley 6B

10/26/2022 11:59:08 am

My thoughts on this quote is that it's not okay to pretend to be someone else. They should be proud of who they are no matter what. And it's fine to not be comfortable being something else.

Mackenly Mitchell link

10/26/2022 12:16:29 pm

This quote reminds me of the phrase "fake it till you make it." This is a good way to upgrade yourself into becoming the "better" version of yourself. You can only become that person once you first learn to imitate them: " what would Oprah do?"

It shows that you can become what you want to become. Then you can meet up with that person that you became and what you once was before you became that person you've wanted to become. All 'n all, you wouldn't have to pretend to be the person you've wanted to become. Just do it.

Rosalyn Aponte 2A link

10/26/2022 07:15:14 pm

It sets yourself for a higher standard. Sometimes you need to build yourself up, but you have a lack of confidence.

Mya Espino 7B

10/26/2022 12:39:42 pm

I think this means that they wanted to be someone so bad that it took over them. They tried to change who they were in order to be liked by others. They don't recognize who they are anymore because they've become the person everyone wanted them to be.

Rylie Brown 7B

10/26/2022 12:43:05 pm

I like what the quote was about because it describes what I feel everybody starts at. I feel that most people at the start of their career pretend to be the person they really want to be, and eventually they do end up like that. The way the quote was told is very fitting for people like that.

m. santos 7b

10/26/2022 12:47:16 pm

This quote makes me realize that people would try so hard to become a different person that it consumes their personality. In this society many people have done this to the point where they can't even recognize themselves when they have moments alone with themselves. This quote calls out the people with an identity crisis who tries on different personalities and ways of being until it consumes them whole.

Heela A 7B

10/26/2022 12:53:25 pm

P Pina 7B

10/26/2022 02:22:04 pm

I agree with you because most times people don't identify who they are and they change themselves.

Elizabeth.Adame 2A

10/27/2022 11:35:00 am

I agree with the way you worded this because it's very true. People probably want to change for validation because it makes them feel better as a person. But these type of things could be unhealthy, there are so many celebrity examples that do this.

A Giles 2A

10/27/2022 11:46:19 am

Yeah I agree with this totally because nowadays there are people that want to be something that is totally different then who we actually are. I get it and that you want to explore but how does it make you feel that you want to be something totally different and what the people around you think. Just make sure that you are thinking about the people around you an the consequences.

Heela A 7B

10/26/2022 12:48:22 pm

This quote reminds me of our society. Based on where you grow up, your background, race, religion, ect. you can easily get influenced by others .You could idolize someone, however once you become that person you aren't fully satisfied.

I. Ortiz 7B

10/26/2022 12:57:13 pm

I agree with this because it's true to me. I was a religious child and was more innocent growing up, but I was exposed to things so soon in school. I feel like I was affected by these things sooner than just being exposed by chance.

I. Ortiz 7B

10/26/2022 12:52:04 pm

My thoughts on this quote is that the person saying the quote was struggling to find their true self. Once they finally found themselves they were having mixed feelings. I feel like for the person it wasn't who they actually expected to become.

Xavier McDonald

10/26/2022 02:18:13 pm

I feel like the person does not know who they are. They're trying to find themselves. They've finally found themselves and now they are complete.

Paola PIna 7B

10/26/2022 02:19:27 pm

My thoughts on this quote were that people pretend to be someone they are not and that happens a lot in this society. People get influenced into something they are not and it consumes them and they cannot change. When you get into the mindset of being that person, you become that person and lose yourself.

Giselle C. 2A

I agree with this because someone in my life right now is going through something like indulging themselfs in sadness and depression. They have no motivation to keep them up and going. I am trying my best to help this person but all you do is wait.

I think everyone can relate to this quote since humans try to assimilate to each other. That being said, I don't think this is a bad thing. In my opinion, pretending is the best way to become the best part of yourself.

i agree because we all try to act a curtain way.

J. Kamtala 3A

10/27/2022 12:47:32 pm

i agree because this is a valid point, trying to better yourself by overcoming your old way of thinking sounds like a good method to me

i agree she is probably going through something

M. Moore 7B

I feel this quote teches you that changing yourself doesn't always get you the outcome you may want. People change the way they treat others or the way they treat themselves, but come out in a worse situation than before. Maybe the quote simply means, change doesn't mean good.

Giselle C. 2A

10/26/2022 05:27:03 pm

Yes, I agree that change isn't always good or what you expect it to be.

Keyuante S 2A

10/27/2022 09:16:02 am

i think so too because with that change you never know what can come with it good or bad

R Arpero 7B

10/28/2022 11:04:32 am

I agree, change isnt always what one expected it to be.

Jalyn Suber 7B

10/26/2022 02:51:49 pm

i think people can relate to this quote because he trying to be somebody he's not and stayed like that

Giselle C. Calderon Batista 2A

10/26/2022 05:25:56 pm

I feel like this person is going through their self growth journey and really finding what makes them happy. I think everybody can somewhat relate to this quote at some point in their life. The things we strive for or wish to become can sometimes not be good for us or they may not be what we thought it would. Change isn't always positive but then again it isn't always negative. It all depends on your viewpoint of the situation.

Keyuante S

10/27/2022 09:12:27 am

Yes because anybody can go through this at any point of time in life. Yea change might always be good but you never know if its for the better

Sometimes you feel the need to be somebody you're not to make yourself better. Eventually being somebody you aren't causes you to adapt to being a different person . Pretending to be someone you're not can be a good or bad thing.

G. Hernandez 3A

10/27/2022 12:14:38 pm

I strongly agree with you! I feel like people want to be like others, but that's not always a bad thing.

10/26/2022 07:47:07 pm

This quote made me realize that some people try their best to show how they really feel to people they know. In this world,many people may recognize themselves as building a healthy relationship. Change won't always be a positive thing, it could be negative. But if you set your mind to it, you can become the person you always wanted to be.

Nox (katelyn) Sears

Change can be hard for some people and easy for others. It can be positive or negative. It can help you or hurt you, but it's always great to be who you want to be.

M. Davis 1A

10/27/2022 09:02:25 am

I think this quotes means be who you are. Sometimes people are scared to show who they really are. Never be afraid, embrace yourself.

J. leslie

10/27/2022 09:03:37 am

i agree with that quote because sometimes people to to be other people and they get so used to acting like that person that they dont know who their slef is

Keyuante S 2a

10/27/2022 09:10:42 am

I believe that person is going through that part in life where they're losing their self and dont know what to do so they fake being happy and try to change their self for the better but dont know how

C. Torres 1A

10/27/2022 10:03:05 am

I agree with what you said as they will try to fake it but will only make it worse for themselves.

P Pina 7B

10/28/2022 12:53:14 pm

I agree with you because they try so hard at faking it to the point where it consumes them and can not change.

JOshua martinez 3a

10/27/2022 09:11:59 am

I think this quote is saying we try to be somone where not for some else's standards . But by doing that where losing are selfs . While later in life where doing the same thing trying to be something where not .

C. Torres 1A

10/27/2022 10:02:05 am

I agree with what you say as people will begin to question who they are in the future.

R Arpero 7B

10/28/2022 11:05:46 am

I agree, because we do not change for someone elses liking.

amaya 1A link

10/27/2022 09:37:04 am

this quote is trying to say that thye tried to fake a person they where not and they eventually turned into that person they always wanted to be or looked uo to being

Nox (katelyn) Sears 2A

10/27/2022 10:46:56 am

i think the same way. This person became someone there not. Causing them to lose who they really are.

C. Torres 1A

10/27/2022 10:00:03 am

My thoughts on the quote are that the person who said the quote didn't have a personality that pleased other people. So after a while they adopted a personality they think would get people to like them. And through that process they began to question their authenticity. That being said, I believe this is a bad way of going about life as you shouldn't care about satisfying other people. This does not mean you shouldn't care about anything it just means you're comfortable with being different.

Joseph Ballard 1a

10/27/2022 10:04:24 am

You need someone in your circle to make you feel better as a person not someone to make you feel less of an individual.As human beings we all should help build each other up to be better as a whole.
The world would be a much better place if everyone uplifted eachother.

D. Dews 7B

yes indeed you do need somebody to motivate you.

Zayla Foley

I Agree With their actions , the consequences and the situation matches and adds up

Nox (Katelyn) Sears 2A

10/27/2022 10:44:47 am

What I think about this quote is that this person thought who they were wasn't going to succeed or please people with the personality that they had, so they became someone else to please people. This is something people shouldn't have to do. you are unique in your own way. It doesn't matter if people don't like it or not. Just be yourself and make yourself happy. Your happiness is way more important than other peoples. Just be yourself.

Rangel Jazmin

10/28/2022 11:44:11 am

I agree because he did what he had to do to become a better version of himself.

Adrian Corra 2A

10/27/2022 11:01:41 am

This quote is implying that a person wasn't comfortable with who they were as a person, and the result of that they lost themselves because they weren't being true to themselves an adopted a personality that made them more likable.

Amalio Garcia

10/27/2022 12:46:56 pm

I agree with this young fella because people lose their real self trying to improve themselves.

Malaysia Johnson

10/28/2022 11:43:54 am

I don't believe the person was necessarily uncomfortable with who they were. Maybe they just wanted to become better.

P Pina 7B

10/28/2022 12:55:30 pm

I agree with you because they change themselves for people to like them.

Elizabeth.Adame 2A

10/27/2022 11:27:34 am

This quote reminds me of anybody in society. Usually, when in school people want to try and fit in to the point where they truly aren't themselves anymore. I would think a person does this because they feel that if they act as themselves they won't be liked by others or end up feeling like an outcast. I've had times where I wanted to fit in and I didn't even end up staying with those people who I thought I fit in with.

A Giles 2A

10/27/2022 11:36:06 am

I feel like this quote means that you can become someone that you want to be but there could be bad outcomes from doing so. Some people change because of the people around them or who they want to be or look up to. You don't have to "be someone else" in order to like or love who you are. You shouldn't be changing who you are for people to like you.

Desiree Ware 3A

10/27/2022 08:39:46 pm

I agree, so many people get caught up in others judgement to where it can lead to that person slowly changing themselves without realizing.

ireuna scott 6B

10/28/2022 10:58:41 am

I love how you gave facts because kids are trying to be bad not knowing the outcome. some people change others don't change their ways you don't have to be somewhere else you can be yourself with people liking you or not liking you.

Joyceline Kamtala

10/27/2022 12:35:43 pm

To me, this quote kind of reminds me of the saying "fake it, till you make it". Most people, including myself, try to be something they're not, but it is not always a bad thing. I guess it depends on the situation.

Hernandez 3A

10/27/2022 12:55:43 pm

I agree with you, because most of us try to be something we are not. But it does depend on the situation, like you said.

Desiree Ware 3A

10/27/2022 08:37:29 pm

I agree, sometimes "faking it, till you make it", can get you out of certain situations but can also leave you standing at the starting point.

marina santos 7b

10/28/2022 11:09:32 am

i dont agree with you because someone could lose their whole persona when faking a different personality just to please others. But it does depend on the situation that the person is in.

Amalio Garcia 3A

10/27/2022 12:44:38 pm

I think the message behind this he tried to leave his old self for a better version of himself but he could not leave it behind because they where the same person, so they became one.

Rangel Jazmin

10/28/2022 11:43:08 am

I agree because this is also what i thought about the quote.

Jared Castillo 3A

10/27/2022 12:59:29 pm

My thoughts on this quote is he doesn't know who he is so he pretended to be someone he wanted to be which slowly started becoming that person he pretended to be is now him.

Fanny Maltos 3A

10/27/2022 02:02:16 pm

I agree with him because he became the person he pretended to be.

T.Tutt 7b

10/28/2022 11:49:53 am

I agree he achieved it without knowing

jeremiah B

10/28/2022 10:18:22 pm

i agree because in the end he ended up being who he wanted

C Valdez 3A

10/27/2022 12:59:37 pm

I think it means that people pretend to be act a way to be liked and to fit in and the person ended up becoming that person after a while. People also try to fit in to the point they aren't themselves anymore just for other people. Pretending to be someone who you want to be can be good too if its the person you want to become.

Malaysia Johnson

10/28/2022 11:40:41 am

I disagree because the quote doesn't say anything about someone else or being like another person, so I think the person just wanted to become a better version of themselves.

Fanny Maltos 3A

10/27/2022 01:10:22 pm

My thoughts about this quote is that the person wanted to be or act differently and at the end he realized he did become different in a good or bad way.

Jared Castillo 3A

10/27/2022 01:12:36 pm

I agree, this person became the person he was pretending to be and changed.

Shamarian Samuels

10/28/2022 02:38:00 pm

The person lost who they actually were pretending to be someone they weren't

Desiree Ware 3A

10/27/2022 08:35:50 pm

My thoughts about this quote is that person tried so hard to be the best version of his/herself. What I mean by this is changing the littlest things they love or hate about themself just to fit the standards of this new person they were trying to be. And in the end, he is meeting the same failed version of himself he wanted to be.

Mercy Tomah 6B

10/27/2022 09:32:41 pm

My thoughts about this quote is that the person pretended to be somebody else for so long, and ended up developing into the persona. I believe that this person is having trouble figuring out who he/she truly is. In the quote, when it says "at some point, we met.", I feel that it meas that this person had a reality check, The person realized that he/she took on another character to try and impress people.

ireuna 6B

10/28/2022 11:01:54 am

my opinion i feel like everyone shouldn't try to be someone their or not love yourself , but yourself don't try to fit in with other people when the outcome ain't gone come out right the person just wanted to be like the other's not knowing you can just be yourself.

R Arpero 7B

10/28/2022 11:02:03 am

This quote reminds me of a very familiar quotes that I can relate to. "Fake it till you make it".This basically means to act like you have succeded until you finally succed.

T. Tutt 7b

10/28/2022 11:49:01 am

Yeah everyone knows that saying. almost everyone says it

Alexia Ruiz 1A

10/28/2022 11:14:52 pm

I 100% agree, these were almost my exact thoughts.

Madelyne Rodriguez 6B

10/28/2022 11:28:42 am

My thoughts about this quote is that this person forced themselves to be someone who they wanted to be but struggled to get to that point till one day they actually changed to be someone who they really aren't. Also they probably tried to be that person and changed by a life situation where they interfered with many personal problems.

Shamarian Samuels

10/28/2022 02:35:48 pm

yes he or she faked it until they couldn't fake it anymore and lost themself in the process. He/ She didn't recognize who they were anymore they had to make a change for the better.

Malaysia Johnson

10/28/2022 11:37:36 am

From what I understand, this quote is simply saying they manifested what they desired. I feel like this is a smart way of trying to get something because it shows that you have a clear vision on whatever it is that you may want.

Kevin Jacinto 6B

10/28/2022 11:40:00 am

This person met the personality who he pretended to be. Which also means this person doesn't know what their true personality is. This person really needs the correct environment in order to be him/her self.

Rangel J

10/28/2022 11:42:22 am

I think this quote means that he made himself belive he can do whatever he wanted he just had to push himself. By pretending he acted like he was already there too get there. He finally meethis goal which is what he saying as in "at some point we met".

T. Tutt 7B

10/28/2022 11:44:35 am

I think the quote is talking about achieving your dreams/goals to be the person you dreamed of your whole life. With that dream being realistic.It could also mean that it doesn't matter how long or how it happens you will strive to become that person.

jeremiah b

10/28/2022 10:03:13 pm

i agree as long as you keep at what you doing for your dreams it'll come true

D.Dews 7B

10/28/2022 01:04:05 pm

i think the quote was saying be what you want to be. If you want to make a million dollars go and make a million dollars. Some people might want to stay broke, but a lot of other people try to make something out of themselves.

Shamarian Samuels

10/28/2022 02:30:37 pm

This quote is using imagery to connect with us because many of us have been at any point in our life. Many of us don't know who we are so we try to be something we are not just to fit into society or the trend. When we take the time to actually see who we are and what god placed us on this earth to do we can finally be our true selves

Riana T 5B

10/28/2022 11:56:45 pm

This is very true because some people do feel this way because they are going through something and don't know how to express their feelings. We don't realize how important we are on this earth to feel that type of way.

jeremiah B A2

10/28/2022 09:58:03 pm

I think this person was forming into who they wanted to be. Pretending to be someone they aspire to be.Then theyll eventrully dont have to pretend because they met it.

Alexia Ruiz 1A

10/28/2022 11:11:49 pm

I think this is an amazing quote. They're basically saying that they were able to fake it till they made it and i think it's cool people are able to do that. I wish i was able to do that.

Riana T 5B

10/28/2022 11:35:48 pm

I think this quote is about how this person was trying to find themselves unsuccessful. They are still lost and really truly trying to find their true colors. Maybe they were depressed and was trying to get their stuff together to get back on the right track.

Morgan Johnson 5B

10/28/2022 11:47:00 pm

My thought about the quote is that the person aimed to be someone else and became that person. They most likely did this for some time or for a while and had some thoughts on becoming this new person. They finally came to terms with themselves.

Geoffrey Ojeh

11/4/2022 07:06:27 pm

I recognize what you are trying to express, but I'm not sure if I concur. Although they did change, the original person was not entirely lost. They basically have no idea who it is.
