I remember when l was 7 years old, my mother had dressed me in my pink puffy dress and she tugged at my ponytails and tightened them so whenever I was running around, the Barretts wouldn’t fall from the ends of them In church. I can tell you that I was crying, they were really tight and it felt like tiny bees stinging on either side of your head. When it was nearly the closing of the church. I was pulled to the side and was told that I was being too loud so I needed to be quiet since the church was still going and l was a kid so I didn‘t know there was such thing as being too loud until I was told I was. I was having fun but being asked to quiet down brought down my mood, it felt like someone just wanted to sew my lips together.
After church was over, my mother came over to me and told me that the same lady that pulled me aside earlier had told her l was being disruptive, and of course, I lied so I wouldn’t get in trouble because I was used to being the bad one since my little sister was only 5, she barely did anything but I swear that girl was more devilish than I was but no one really says that. She picked up my little sister in her arms and stayed down to my level and said, “You’re going to be loud and annoying people will hate that and try to shut you down but don’t let them do that. Be as annoying, loud, and crazy as you want, they will love you even more being your true self.”
Seeing as my dear mother was not one for those kinds of words, it was surprising to hear her say that. They kind of stuck with me since then. When I made it to third grade, I went to the same school all 9 years; Kindergarten – 81h grade, with the same people everyday. I was the quiet kid, I never spoke up in class or had no one to talk to. I was bullied mostly so I didn’t have many friends and that was hard enough. I was in a deep hole that I couldn’t get out of.

Finally, I made it to high school, that was when I started to changed to. The day after the first day of freshmen year. was when I got friends. I met my best friend and she was the reason why I changed. We stayed friends all through the 4 years, of course we had our faults and fights but that was everyone. I became more open. independent. loud and annoying. She brought that out of me and here I am. In college, being loud in English and making jokes and being sarcastic. That‘s who I am because of my mother’s words and my best friend.
