Part 2: A personal life experience that has had particular significance for me
In 2017, we decided to take part in a campaign that takes place in Brazil annually in September. This campaign is called “Yellow September” and aims to prevent suicide. That year, we chose a date to hold an event with theatrical and musical performances, games and a lecture about the campaign subject.
The event had a great impact on the group and the other students, as it highlighted the importance of supporting our colleagues and taking care of mental health. Moreover, we got out of our tiring routine and had fun.
Because of the impact the event had had, we did it again in 2018. In the second edition, we let students who were not part of the group perform. This was amazing and very important for our school community.
I don't know exactly how to describe the importance that Unshaken have had in my life because I have learned a lot from this group. I developed myself as a leader and person because I had to lead a group with many different people. I have also learned about empathy and why this is so important.
In addition, Unshaken has helped me to understand that I can make mistakes sometimes, but it doesn’t define me.

Muito bem. Larah. Just notice also, that you say "the importance that Unshaken HAS had in my life" - we need to use "has" if we are talking about it as a group, (third person singular), or "have" if we think of it as a number of people. A similar example is if we talk about the police - the police force as a group, (singular), or a number of police officers. "The police were very aggressive when they arrested him."
I hope that helps. Simón.
