For as long as I could walk and talk I've been shy. Always quiet. Always hiding behind my mothers legs. Always in the corner, not a sound escaping my lips.

Then middle school rolled around and it got worse. I literally only had one friend. I was that quiet, tiny girl in the class that didnt speak. Kids ridiculed me and took advantage of my shyness to make me embarrass myself. I hate it. I fell into a depression. I never smiled and I cried Every night. No self esteem existed in me.

High school rolled around this past fall and I was worried. Worried I would be ridiculed and laughed at just like middle school.

But now, as a ninth grader, I'm happy. I can finally talk to people without being nervous. I can finally speak in front of the class without hyperventilating.

I owe a part of it to you guys. You may not have realized it but you all helped me to slowly open up and gain confidence. I've learned to be goofy and to laugh at my mistakes.

I think you helped me because I was able to connect to others that had the same likes and thoughts as me with brought a smile to my face and helped me be happy.

Thank you guys. You may not have known it but you really made a difference in my life.

Thanks! :) <3
