How I did it: I was forced to drive, and my fear of driving dissipated as I drove more. Then, I just practiced in parking lots and on the road and eventually took my test. Read how I did it…
How I did it: My sister and I went to a local tattoo shop with a friend of hers who was getting work finished that night. They took us as walk ins and finished both me and my sister in about an hour. They were great. Read how I did it…
How I did it: All I did was keep up with my homework and most importantly, GO TO CLASS! It's the easiest thing you can do to keep your grades up, and professors will notice if you are there or not in smaller classes. Read how I did it…

I’m half greek, and ever since I can remember I wanted to learn the language. My mom and aunt/uncle speak it fluently, and also my grandmother. I’ve always wanted to learn to speak it and be able to talk to my grandmother in her native language. I don’t know why she and my mom never taught us when we were little, but I am going to ask them to try now.
I’m so afraid of public speaking! When I’m in class and I have to give a presentation, it’s the worst day of my life. I hope one day I can get over it.
