Change is Imminent.

This is quite early compared to my normal posts. Want to know why? Well I had my first two classes canceled! Wooh! I slept in for the first one but I didn't know about the second. So now I'm here. You're jealous, I know. Hahaha.
Mmk, now to the point. I have noticed recently that I have changed, almost drastically, from the person I was in Middle School. Though I do retain a lot of what I was, I am almost a completely different person. Well, not on the inside really, I have always been like this but I have never let it show until recently.
I should explain what "this" is, shouldn’t I? In Middle School, I rarely talked to anyone who wasn't in my immediate circle of friends. And I didn't make an effort to expand this circle. I was quiet, did my work in class, et cetera. In seventh grade my teachers actually asked my mom if I had any friends. Not a good sign. So, once I go here, to High School, to Brooks, I began to... adapt? In a way. Starting the second half of freshman year I began to talk to more people and put myself out there. This summer I worked on it a lot too. Now this year, I have done a lot of things I wouldn't have done in Middle School. I started my Film Club, I joined a Model UN, Gospel Choir, I just plain be myself... in a way. And it's wonderful.
It's really something everyone should work on. I still am actually. I still have periods of time in which I retreat to my old shell and don't talk to new people, or even people I know who I'm not great friends with. It makes me seem a bit bipolar in a way I guess. But when I do act myself it is very rewarding, however cliché that may sound.
Well, School meeting is soon. Got to go!
Much Love,
~ Jenna
