As I came more and more out of my shell, I began to gain confidence and develop more relationships with my friends and teachers. I was one of those people who hung out with people older than me, so I had more opportunities than other people in my year. This was good, but there was a downside to it. Since I didn't hang out with people in my class, I didn't have a relationship with most of them. This caused some problems for me the following year. One problem I was lucky not to have was grades. I finished this year with another high honor roll and a 24 on my record.
