Readers, I'm glad to announce that from a bit of research and such into my development and much hard work, I think I may be finally budding my way into opening up to the world. I find myself much more at ease with me peers than ever thought possible before, being able to laugh and make jokes with them and everything else you teenagers normally do. I promised myself at the beginning of the year that seemed like it wasn't all that long ago to learn how to open myself up and ready myself for socializing for my career and independence from my mother. It has shown in numerous ways throughout the year that I have been able to open up and speak with others. Granted, it is still a bit rough around the edges and I still stay silent for most of my days during the school hours, but hey, every diamond mined is rough around its edges before it can be cut and refined and so too must my social skills be that way.
I am so very pleased with the work I have done in trying to open up and I do thank the people in school that have offered to even help me in opening up and this has been a journey all my own. I can only hope that by June 15th, I can go to project graduation and have fun with my 2012 graduating class as we all will on that glorious day and not stick with my mother the entire time. I hope to leave Burlington City High school knowing that I have done something good for myself and having worked hard at a skill all humans develop over their lives that I have completely shunned after preschool. I want to go to BCC in the fall of 2012 and show my teachers that I am a good man of good virtue and a man who once was a shy bud of a flower that needed to open up and let its petals show and I wish to show everyone my petals and flaunt my true colors because it has always been a wish of mine to be able to laugh and carouse with my peers just as I have done so many years ago. I just wish that I had gotten the right kind of motivation to be able to train myself into opening up a lot sooner in my school career than I had done. It was also a reason that I originally wanted to join the Arrowhead because I felt that if I was going to reach out to my fellow students and the staff of the school, that was the only way I was going to do it, but now, I feel that I can be able to open up and not rely so heavily on Project: Evergreen as I have done the previous year when I first joined the newspaper to start the opinion piece.
I still feel I may have a ways to go, but way to go me,
Yours Truly
