If I could do high school over again there would be a lot of things I’d do differently. A lot of us are scared to go and make new friends, I wish I wouldn’t have held myself back and thought that I needed to stay with the same friend group all the time. Making new friends can open up so many doors that could lead you all different ways. You can learn all kinds of new things when making new friends. Most people judge others before they even know the real side of the other person. 

  Another thing that I’d do differently is, I wish I wouldn’t have let myself get embarrassed about small things as easily as I did. I’ve realized that most people don’t even pay attention to what is going on around them. I’ve held myself back from a lot of stuff I wish I would’ve done because I was embarrassed. Be confident in all that you do! 

    I feel that everyone should push themselves out of their comfort zone and find a spot for themselves. Getting involved in a group or organization is a good way of pushing yourself out. Something else I wish I would’ve done differently is not getting nervous about having new classes. I would get nervous and think that I wouldn’t know anyone in my class and that the work was going to be harder than it was. Most of the time I’ve always had at least one or more people in my classes that I’ve either been friends with or known of. If I didn’t have friends in my class I would try to make friends with people and just push through and try my best. I’ve let other people’s thoughts get to me, what other people say shouldn’t matter. Most people say stuff without even thinking about what they are saying.
