I know this will probably sound kinda stupid since I'm just a freshman, but joining the speech team has been the best decision I've made in my life, even with me just finishing my first season. It has made me realize so much about myself! I thought I was perfectly fine after joining drama club at the middle school. But I realized that my shy side still did make appearances especially when I'd speak in front of classmates and after just this season, my social abilities have increased so much. I still have a lot of work to do though before I hold actual conversations with people I don't know, and boys..especially boys. Soo yeah.
