“I used to be antisocial and not wanting to talk to anyone. Walking through the hallways, whenever someone tried to talk to me or made eye contact with me, I would look down at my phone. The biggest, most important thing that happened was the change of mindset that I had. Instead of thinking, ‘No one wants to talk to me, everyone’s doing their own thing,’ I changed my mindset and just tried to be a positive light within the school. I hope a lot of people know that there’s a lot of friendly people in this school, and the only way that you’re going to meet someone is if you start to initiate conversations.”
