If I could rewind back to my high school years, I would have spoken up more for myself. Growing up I was always that shy girl in the back of the class who never liked to raise her hand. Even in high school with my whole group of friends, I always tended to take on the shy role among my confident friends. I feel like I lost out on a lot of friendships and experiences because I stayed to myself and I wasn’t involved much in high school because of that fear. It wasn’t until my senior year of high school that I started branching out of my shell. Coming to college, I promised myself that I would speak up more and get involved, despite my fear. It’s hard to believe that the girl standing here now was once shy but in the end every flower blossoms. Some later than others.
