I’ve changed so much over the years. Back in middle school, I was the quiet, shy, smart, Asian nerdy girl. I was too shy to speak my mind and I was even too shy to raise my hand in class. I had only a few friends who knew how outgoing I really was. As 8th grade approached, I wanted to let people know who I really was. I started to open up more, and in doing so, I gained many great friendships. But, I wasn’t satisfied because I felt as if I opened up sooner, I would’ve been more happier in middle school.

Now in high school, I am much more outgoing and confident. I am not afraid to speak what’s on my mind and I don’t bite my tongue as much anymore. I even gained the courage to run for my school’s Secretary of Student Council and I will be presenting my speech in front of the whole school in a few days.

I look back at everything and I realize how much I have changed throughout the years. I am not trying to be cocky, but I am so proud of where I am today. I still have one more year of high school left, but I hope to have the same confidence in college as I have right now. 

I’m wearing a short dress. Should my date get me a bouquet of flowers or a corsage?

So the other night, Syd and I were playing 21 questions and he saved the last question for today. In the morning, when all the juniors were in the cafeteria, he got cards saying:

“So the other night..”

“We never finished our game…”

“It’s my turn and the last question…”

“#21 Will you go to prom with me?“ 

“Yes- hug & kiss me”

“No- Do 21 backflips”

He also gave me roses too :) & Of course, I said yes. :) 

Get the fuck outta here.
