So coming up in the first week of December I am supposed to be dancing on stage for a winter festival. Let’s wait and see if I’m gutsy enough to go through with it.

Okay. At the start of every school year, I tell myself that this is the year that I will finally be outgoing. This is the year that people will refer to me by my real name instead of the “quiet girl.” I have been telling myself that for 16 years and you know what? Nothing has changed. On the rare occasion that people do talk to me, I simply nod and smile politely. I worry too much of what people might think of me. I figure that they won’t make fun of me if I don’t say anything foolish. And I won’t say anything foolish if I never speak. In fact, I am even afraid of what you guys might think of this post. When I’m older, I don’t want to think back to my high school days and associate them with missed opportunities. So please, please help me. I not asking to turn into the life of the party, I just want people to realize that I exist.
