9th grade. English class

We had to write a "wikipedia" article on a subject of our own choosing. I chose depression. For a while I had been feeling sad, in fact, I had always felt sad. Almost always there was hardly any reason for it. Life wasn't too bad or maybe I just tried my best to not let it get to me. 

We were supposed to write i think 3-5 pages on the subject, college ruled paper of course. I remember sitting there at home, not really knowing where to start. Suddenly I found myself researching my topic. Hours upon hours of following links, reading studies and articles. Writing down everything that stuck out to me. I felt seen, by no one other than myself. I would research it in other classes, at lunch, any moment I could. All I wanted was more information. I ended up writing 9 or 10 pages I think, college ruled.
