PC has affected me in a very positive way. When I first joined, it was my window to the wide world. Role models I took after made me who I am today, roleplaying ignited my hobby of writing, my ability to make graphics soared, I was helped by these members in my lowest moments of stress and pain. The staff and their maturity have gained my respect over the years, as well- I've learned countless lessons here, as well as made countless mistakes xD;;.
Now that I'm no longer homeschooled, there isn't so much free time to visit, but I'll never forget the positive influence this forum has had on me. Without it, I would probably be much lesser than the person I am today.
