This past summer I had to take the time to look at myself and see how others viewed me. It was a hard process learning that my peers only saw me as the person who's loud,rude,mean, and vulgar. That's not the type of person I want to be remembered as since this is my last year in high school. How your teachers, stangers, and family view you is different than your peers. Teachers and stramgers only see what you allow them to and your peerswill tell you in a minute their opinion of you.
As the days go by I see that I no longer want to change. At first I felt as If I needed to change my ways but now I accept me for me. I noticed I wanted to change for all the wrong reasons. People saw me as a loud,rude,mean, and vulgar person but that doessn't neccessarily mean that I am. I think that I may have acted in that matter at one time or another to hide my own insecurities. I see myself as a tell-it-like-it-is person. If I am going to change I have to do it for myself, not for what others think of me.
I have learned that there are better ways to express youreself than letting the whole world know you have a problem. I see that I am getting older and that I have to get used to the fact that my years as a teenagers are coming to an end. As I continue to grow, who I am will start to show more clearly. I am on my way towards becoming a young adult and it's time I focus on my future and not how others view me.
