15 Years Old

Freshman year was a whole new chapter in an entirely unfamiliar environment. Despite battling social anxiety, I pushed myself to step out of my comfort zone and introduced myself to anyone who looked like they were in the same boat— freshmen just trying to find their way. Surprisingly, it worked!

This was also the year I truly began to discover who I was— my sense of style, my taste in music, and slowly, the person I was becoming. I started prefering taking my own pictures, and learning to love how I look. Luckily, got my braces off just in time for this transition phase!
