a sophomore in high school
- the words that literally hit me like a bus
I'm not the type of person to cry. After keeping track, I cried a total of 9 times last year. But for some reason when my English teacher pulled me aside one day and told me to not ever be afraid to speak my mind, I teared up. I hid the fact that I was about to cry. Because for some odd reason those words hit me more than I could ever imagine.
