Mental Health’s Glow Up

Steven rice

My name is Steven Rice. I’m one of the thousands of students in Merced County. Everyone has gone through struggles at different levels and through the years of high school. Struggle creates our uniqueness and builds our narrative of what life brings us. As a Senior moving towards adulthood, I’m always reflecting on how my mental health has changed throughout the four years of life. Each year, in my perspective, was like a stage that has so much change in everything I perceive, and especially my mental stability.

Everyone’s story of their high school experience is different in many ways, but by explaining my story of how my mental stability has changed and fluctuated through the years, I hope that everyone or most people will be able to relate.
