When I was about 9, I was talking to my grandma Timm about the fact that I was a shy person and didn't like doing certain things because I was afraid that people would think I was immature. My grandma then goes on to tell me that if people didn't want to play with me just because they thought I was immature, then I shouldn't care what their opinion was and all that happy stuff. But then my grandma quotes FDR saying "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." Since then it has just always stuck with me.
Ever since then, whenever I am thinking to myself "I don't want to do that! That's so embarrassing!" I remind myself of what my grandma said to me and I think about how you only have one life to live and you might as well live it to the fullest. Ever since my grandma said that I have become much more confident and outspoken. If I don't do something, or say something for myself, no one will. As a result of that, I got to make the speech at my 8th grade graduation.
♥ you grandma!!!
