Conclusion

-
Looking back at the beginning of this blog, I feel like I have come a long way. I have found myself standing up for myself and being more outgoing, like how I used to be.

I'm not where I want to be, but that all comes with time. I can confidently say that I am happy with the person I am and can't wait to see the person I become.

I am really grateful for this project and I can now say that it has helped me. When I sat at dinner alone and it looked as though I'd been stood up I wouldn't have said that. But now I certainly can.

I want to establish this into my everyday life. Doing one thing a day that brings you outside your comfort zone.

Public Speaking

One of my biggest fears in life is public speaking. It was my turn to over come this fear starting in my theatre class. All semester I had to act in front of the class doing group skits; but that was nothing compared to what I faced in my final assignment. I was asked to prepare a two minute monologue for our mock audition that I had to excerpt from one of my favorite films. Standing in front of my class speaking with confidence, enthusiasm and emotion is something I never thought I would be able to accomplish. However, my need for a good grade in theatre class far outweighed my fear of public speaking.

Starting Conversations

This week I got a job. I started working at PillPack and I'm very excited about it. PillPack is a company with a lot of people my age, which means I will be meeting a lot of new people. I'm trying to break out of my old ways of waiting people to come and talk to me so I tried something new at my orientation. I challenged myself to start a conversation with at least 5 strangers and it actually wasn't as terrifying as I thought it would be. All the people I met were very nice and very interesting and I look forward to working with them. It usually is very hard for me to start a conversation, but we all had a lot in common and I found it easy to relate to the people I met.

The Christmas Party

-
On Christmas Eve I went to a party at my boyfriend's aunts house. This was the first time that I was going to see his family in a few months. We don't have the best relationship so whenever I go to see them I get very anxious. The old me would just avoid situations that made me feel uncomfortable. However, I had to face this issue head on. My dad gave me a pep talk where he told me that I can't let other people control my life. I need to be my own person and if they don't like me then it's their loss. He was trying to motivate me and it worked. I went to that party and acted like nothing bothered me. It made me feel good that I was in control of my life. I wanted to go to that party so I went. I actually ended up having a really fun night.
