I'm going to be 20 in a few months and I was thinking about the last 10 years of my life and how much I've changed.
When I was 10 i started Middle School and hate a lot of mates but when I was 13 I had lost them all. They all said I started acting weird and I didn't understand why.
I made 2 friends at High School and there still my friends today. I was told i had Aspergers when I was 15 and I got depressed because of that and I lost my concentration for my GCSE's and the best mark i got was a D for English.
I decided to enrol at college and did a Media course. I made friends and slowly my confidence grew. I only passed Media so I went to resit my GCSES. I made more friends on my course and managed to get 3 C's . Unfortuantly everything that happened to me before hand came out at once and I lost control. I needed counselling and i poured my heart out basically. I felt good knowing I could talk to someone without them judging me.
I then decided to go for Performing Arts and it was great. I made more friends then ever and as my confidence grew, my grades grew. At the end of the year i finished 30 points ahead of everyone on my course and i earned a Distinction Star. Now i'm on the National Diploma course ready to apply for university in winter. I've even started writing letters to penpals from Japan, America and Europe.
I went from being pushed into a pit of depression by my so called friends years ago to crawling out a more confident person. I get better each year and it feels great. I may still feel a little down at times but It's not as bad as It was 4 years ago. I think i can be proud of what i've accomplished since coming to college. Who knows maybe i can meet someone at University if i get confident and talk to people
I want to join clubs at Uni, meet people, travel the world and become a good actor. I'm terrified about meeting new people at University but It'll be worth it. If i can make friends at college I know i can at University as well.
Having Aspergers can be tough but I feel I've set an example that no matter how down you can feel, If you just believe in yourself it can make a world of difference
So how do you think i've done the last decade. Any good?
