❥Progress: I had set a goal for myself this quarter to audition for both Variety Show and Dance Show in order to showcase the new "me" that doesn't care. Unfortunately, I was not able to audition for these things because of the fear of being overwhelmed, SAT's and AP testing going on during both of those weeks. My teachers understood and did not pressure me to audition. Now that that's said and done, I'd like to conclude by expressing my happiness with this blog. I have genuinely been able to take the time to develop and find new talents in myself that I would have been to embarrassed to do before. Thank You.
❥Reflection: This post might be short and sweet, but the gratitude is hopefully there. I feel that because this blog is technically an assignment, I felt pressured to push myself into discovering myself. The whole point of all of this was not to prove myself to anyone but myself. I feel i have accomplished this while gaining so much. I always knew that art, literature, and style where an outlet to many, but I did not know how great it felt to be yourself. After years of watering myself down in fear of being criticized I can now be proud of the person I am and the person i present myself to others. I hope to maintain this trait as it follows me into adulthood. Thank you for providing me with an outlet.
