any feedback is greatly appreciated.
As I commenced my high school journey, I was faced with fear ,wonder and intrigue on how my high school career would unfold .I would soon realize that High School was not what I expected. During my first years, I was often categorized as the typical shy kid who lacked social skills. Kids often depicted me as being awkward because I heavily restricted most conversations. I could see the fierce hatred and displeasure towards me simply to see me fail. I do candidly admit that I was a victim of being bullied However, I did not let these social adversities undermine me from my ultimate goal which is to be successful in my academics. I was viewed as an "outcast" , yet these experiences influenced me to find my true identity. That identify which expressed myself and is not formulated to comply with others' expectations. I might of been a "reject" from the typical crowd ,but I upheld my morals and did not let myself to be manipulated in any way. I was determined to exemplify persistence, productivity and patience regardless of external factors. Now that I look back , I realize that my determination to succeed was imperative for me to surpass and cope with the social obstacles that I went through. Based on my experiences throughout life, I can proudly say that being determined is my best personal quality.
