Free to Learn
Finally, I am here. I'm actually learning again! I feel so free and
it's almost like I'm Donoma
again. I'm not sure why, or what the reason
is, but finally I'm focused on my school work again. For a while I was
too worried about what other people thought of me and wanted only what
every other teenager wants to be accepted and to be "cool". I spent
hours worrying about my weight and how only if I was skinny life would
be an utopia. I know this isn't so now, I had to learn that though. And
now I know that I have gained more self-confidence which I could use
the most of. Being that I had such a low self-esteem that I couldn't
even consentrate on my work, always worrying about what I looked like
and if those popular people over there were talking about me...It even
came to the point were I would skip classes because I was too afraid to
go to class, I felt I was too fat, too ugly. Looking at my grades now
makes me feel so proud of myself. Seeing the A's and the B's that I
knew I had enough potential for before, but now actually have them
makes me smile. I am no longer ashamed. I can breathe. I'm reading
again. I draw again. I shall keep it up.
