I was inspired to do this after seeing my friend, Daylon Fields, make a status with three pictures of him at different ages. Mine is a little different - I wanted to see how Ive progressed throughout the years. When I was little, I was bullied a lot. In fifth grade (the very first picture) I had people throw acorns, rocks, and sand at me... Just because I didnt want to play tag. Around the end of fifth grade, we moved to College Park, and I finished my year there. Throughout middle school, which would be the next two pictures (I couldnt find one from eighth grade), the bullying worsened. I was made fun of for the way I looked, the way I would talk. By eighth grade, it got to the point where Id rather walk around with a giant black jacket and baggy clothes than what I truly wanted to wear, and Id rather stick my nose in books than talk to people.... Middle school kinda sorta sucked. Finally, I hit high school... I decided that I wanted to change something about myself. I joined JROTC, where I learned stuff like respect, discipline, and self-esteem. I quit being afraid of who I was/am, and after a long time of hating myself for being ugly, fat, etc.... I realized that Im not the awkward ugly duckling everyone said I was... Im a swan!
