Learning who you are I just finished my sophomore year of high school, and it wasn’t until this school year that I truly discovered who I really am. Throughout middle school and partly through my two years of high school, I longed to be part of the “cool” crowd. Being involved in this particular crowd seemed to be, at the time, the only way to enjoy my school years. Was I ever wrong! Before learning that lesson, I tried way too hard to buy the right clothes, listen to the right music and go to the right places. I constantly questioned what people were thinking and who was looking. If anything, I did exactly opposite in my intentions to look and act cool. Now that I reflect on the past, I can see that I am exactly where I need to be, and there was a reason and a lesson to learn in my struggle to fit in. It’s as simple as this: Don’t try to mold yourself into something you’re not. Tandi Rushing
