Struggles behing the mask

Being more involved in the school changed him for the better and made his high school experience more enjoyable and involved him more in the community. ¨My first two years of high school I really just kept to myself and wasn’t really involved in the school setting and after that experience I started to meet more people and just enjoy what it’s like to be more involved in the school.¨ Not only was he able to meet new people and make new friends but also was able to enjoy this experience with his current friends and together excel socially.
