<p>personality change. gonna be brutally honest with myself.</p>
<p>9th: very quiet & reserved. was overweight. wore glasses, dressed kinda nerdy</p>
<p>10th grade: lost 30 lbs, gained contacts, still fairly reserved. </p>
<p>11th grade: coming out of my box. . . gained confidence</p>
<p>12th grade (which is now.): went nuts. cannot shut up. no longer quiet (but still quiet at the appropriate times), very outgoing, gained confidence (hittin on soo many girls now. . .and girls doin the same to me. . .) hair-style change, i dunno. very fun. dressed with good sense, dressed well, now. absolutely lost fear of speaking to the public. became buff, toned and ripped esp. on the lower part of my body.</p>
<p>today: learned not to bee lazy now. *i think. i got a little bit quieter. . .but still come up on the humorous end of the stick now.</p>
<p>@ glassesarechic when were you at Interlochen?</p>
<p>Definitely became more independent and willing to allow people into my life.</p>
<p>yep I became more independent, responsible and consider myself a socialite now ;D</p>
<p>I feel that I’ve opted to make my own decisions oriented around what I find preferable as opposed to what my friends find appeasing.</p>
<p>I picked up style, got (somewhat) athletic and taller, and started styling my hair. Similar process with others except I was never a particularly reserved person.</p>
<p>Also, at least now I don’t seem like a total tool for being on math team, physics team, playing violin, and doing competitive pokemon.</p>
<p>I used to be so shy. Now I’m louder and funnier and I don’t mind talking to people I don’t know as well. I never really had much of a problem with stage fright or getting up in front of a crowd of people, but especially now, I think nothing of it.</p>
