9th grade was a hard year for me. I was still trying to figure out who I was going to grow into as a person. If I'm being honest, I didn't have that many friends, and it stayed like that until the end of sophomore year and the beginning of junior year. I always felt like I was alone or that something was wrong with me but I just wasn't hanging out around the right group and putting my true self out there to let people see my bright loud bubbly self, but once I finally started showing my true self and being unapologetically me I found who my people were and I am so glad I did because I wouldn't want to trade them for anything else.
