issue in my life. What I did not know was how easy it would be to change that. Most of my life I struggled with anxiety and social awkwardness. I never knew how to talk to people because I always tried my hardest to avoid the situation. When I got thrown into a situation where I had no choice but to push past my anxiety I realized a lot.

Myself as a Writer Gatphan Atassi 2nd Period AP Lang It is no surprise to anyone who has known me since my years as a "wee-little" first grader that language is my "Achilles Heel."
