"I'm going to reach a place where my voice can be heard."

Hi, i'm Tyra, and this is a story about me.

When i was a kid i just did as i was told. life was like riding a boat on a peaceful sea. no obstacles, no storms. life was... can't really call it fun but it was relaxed. It was rather perfect, to be honest.

my whole world turned upside down when i turned 13 (aka when i started secondary school) and all of a sudden there were jagged rocks all around my boat, threatening to drown me. it was then that i realised how little i knew about the outside world. i was so, so sheltered.

I realised the world had problems. I realised our world is unfair. i realised I was lost.  I realised, to be frank, that I was more ignorant than I realised. 

I never realised that life could be so much fun.

No, my story isn't dramatic. Yeah, you probably know a lot of the things I didn't. sure, you could laugh about how my writing skills aren't top-notch. But take a look, You might learn something new anyways.
