You've wrote everything that I felt and was going through during my school years. I don't think a single teacher I had remembers me. It was hard to show my true self in an environment that only allows certain personalities to shine. What you wrote about the underdog is also why I root for anyone who's an underdog in life. That's why I'm so happy when someone who wasn't seen gets their recognition. I'm glad you're finding your confidence.I can't praise your article enough. Thank you for sharing your story! I get you too.
