“I’d say my biggest supporters are Jess and Maria, since they push me to be a little smarter than I usually am, and they help me on stuff that I am stuck on. I am more happy, because before I was all gloomy and now it’s like… I’m just really happy. I was just a very quiet person, I felt like I couldn’t talk to anyone, because I was shy, and it just felt like if I talked too much to someone it was going to be awkward cause I’m not that person. I kept to myself, because I didn’t know if they would think I was funny or weird, so I just kept thinking everyone would just think I was just weird for the way I talked to them.”
