Growing up, I was always the shy, quiet, girl.  I kept to myself most of the time because I did not want people to judge me. That all changed once I got to high school.  I realized I should not care about what others think of me and that it was time to start being myself.  In class, I still keep to myself, but get to know me outside of class and you will see that I am not afraid to be my silly, fun, loving,self.  I learned that in the end the only thing that matters is who you are, not if others approve of you and your ways.
