So today I had this thought. I thought about how much I've missed out this year and how many more friends I would have made. Honestly I was just to shy to get out there and I really regret it. In the last week of school I realized just how many people I could have been friends with if I had just talked and stood out more. Some people wrote in my yearbook, "We should totally talk next year!" And I know that they're right; we should talk more. Because they all seem like really nice people, and I regret not getting to know them because I know we would be good friends. But I am more than grateful for the friends I already have, because they've been nothing but caring to me. I appreciate that I have friends and family, because otherwise I don't know how I would live my life.
My friends all say I need to talk more, and I know I do. In this last week of school, I realize I'm not afraid to talk to people I don't know that much anymore. My opinion of talking to strangers has completely changed! I have surprised myself. Perfect timing, I know. I start talking more just as 7th grade ends. But I still have 8th grade at the same school, so I will try to talk to everybody I come across! Because I want to know people more than just their name, or what instrument they play. I want to be friends with them.
So next year, I will definitely talk way more, because when I was talking in a group of people I knew, I would just stand there and wait until someone said something to me. I would just stand there by my friends, watching them talk. And know people see me as the quiet girl, or the one who is shy and doesn't talk a lot. But not anymore! I will not be shy anymore! I will talk to who I want to!
So people, don't be afraid to talk around people you don't know! Don't be afraid to share your knowledge, because people won't challenge your opinions. And if they do, then stand up for what you believe in! Nobody can push you around! BEING SHY ISN'T ALLOWED!!!!!
