All my life I had experienced humiliation in horrid events, such on the first day of 8th grade year I was walking in the building and I walked straight into the glass door. Some of the witness laughed about it, and then during lunch I heard one of the witness talking about it. I mean when I heard about it my face got all red like a red beet. We are human and make the little mistakes in life and learn from them.
My name is Ashley, and I live in small community, and well everyone knows every person's little secret. I'm currently in my junior year in high school and passing my classes. Some people would use the term "loner" or "nerd" to describe me. I have struggle in my life to strive to be more than a quiet dork in the classroom. I crave to be like my sister strong and fearless. I lack the traits so I struggle to live in life itself.
Like many others, I tried to overcome my acute shyness around others and failed miserably. The problems of my troubles began at earlier period in my life. Its roots dig deep in my heart and soul. I trust someone who was closed to me, but in returned I got pain and discomfort, eventually a new life. On hot summer day, orchid blooms its beautiful petals to the world. I have lived my simplicity of life in fear and now I know I could bloom into a beautiful orchid, and be fearless.
My life had been changed radically by my boyfriend, Matt. He helped shed my wilted petals and show anew. I remember seeing him at my mother's church. At that moment, I couldn't comprehend his friendliness. I was absorbed into his world like a sponge. He outgrew my shyness limitations and approached me gently, "asking me what was my favorite funny movie?" I didn't reply immediately, but stated "Scary Movie 2". He laughed and said it was his favorite too. I was secretly happy, because I had a hopeless crush on him for two years.
