I have changed so much in the past year... I owe that to all of the people who I was around last year... Jenna and Steph changed me in the fact that they had held me up so much when I was crashing down that without them i wouldn't of been able to ever stand on my own.... Kelsy and Alissa and the rest of those people at Howards helped me in the fact that I lacked so much self confidence and self esteem a year ago, and those two (and the others) gave me so much to believe in, they gave me a reason to believe in myself! I owe them a ton and they will probably never know just how much they have changed me. And of course other friends have changed me as well. Natalie and Tia help me in figuring out what and who I want to be...
So without the aforementioned people I probably would be having a horrible time here at college, but since i have had those wonderful people in my life in the past year I have become so much more of the person I had hoped I could be...
Examples:
-A year ago: I would of never even tried in gym class. It would of met nothing to me because all I cared about was not being noticed at school, just making it through is all i ever cared about before.
-Today: in gym class it came down to me and Tyler. I tried so hard to win. I actually care about attempting to be good.
-A year ago: I wouldn't of been caught running through the gym screaming "NO TYLER NO!"
-Today: I ran across the gym twice yelling "NO TYLER NO! PLEASE DON'T HIT ME!"
I started noticing the difference in me on Saturday at work. Fitzy and John were the refs and when a jump ball was called I only had to say "WHITE" once and john heard it! :) he came over after and said "Tessa, you're a lot louder now... I can hardly believe I heard you on the first time!" I realized how much I have changed and how my confidence level has gone up...
Today after gym Ashley Simpson and Katie were all talking about how they like picking me first for ultimate frisbee because I am good at offense! A year ago people wouldn't of even known my name, I would of sat in my room not saying anything to anyone. And I think this gym class has helped me too.. I feel more confident and a lot more competitive.
Anywho... I guess I just want to say thank you to those who were mentioned before for every thing they have done for me... Helping me to grow and helping me to get closer to the person I want to be. I mean it....
