My junior and senior year, I was placed in an alternative education class to make it easier for me to speak and to don't have anxiety. This decision was the best decision.

I don't care if people are weird and I have my faults. People who truly care about me will look past them. I now help people who struggle with the same things I did, because I know what it's like and I don't want them to give up on the pain and suffering I went through. I try to help others overcome fear of judgment like I had to
