plastics-Ben Grossman

A piece of advice given to me that has stuck is to be yourself. I know this is super cliche but I think it applies perfectly to me. The main example of this effecting me is when i decided to stop being active at my synagogue. I realized that the only reason i was involved was because my parents wanted me to and that i didn't really feel any connection when there. My parents excepted my choice but told me to keep an open mind. Its been three years since i made this decision and everything has been fine. Another example of this advice effecting me is when i made the choice to have longer hair. This was in middle school when i stopped caring what people though about how i looked. It was also easier to grow it out because i didn't have to get haircuts all the time.
