My name is Aarin, and I am 11 years old. I have a deep love for music and enjoy playing the piano. I chose to explore this topic because I understand the importance of inclusion and friendship. When we returned to school after COVID-19, it took me some time to find my place. Many people stayed within their own groups, and making new friends felt challenging. That experience taught me how important it is to create a welcoming environment for everyone. I want to make sure that no one else feels left out and that everyone has the opportunity to feel included and valued.
