I would describe myself as an outgoing introvert. I’m able to talk to people and get along well but it is a struggle each day to motivate myself to do so.  Everyday I weigh out my decisions. I can crawl back into my bed and hide from my  responsibilities and those who care about me or I can go and do something productive with my life. The decisions I’ve made throughout the first 18 years of my life have made me feel alienated from everyone around me. I’ve neglected my friends, my family, and even my studies. I have lost great opportunities and relationships with people because of my selfish decisions.

This is what I regret most about my life growing up and what I most desperately want to change about myself. Now that I’ve been given a new environment and even more responsibilities I am working towards being a reliable and trustworthy friend.
