SUBMIT TO ME.

The reason why this post is titled "submit to be" because the phrase screams out bow down to me and I'd like to say that I have overcome most of my major obstacles. Thinking back on my life, I'm not sure If anyone else would classify this as obstacles, but I'd say I got over wanting the approval of others, and accepting myself. When I was younger I use to practically depend on other's opinion of me, and whether or not I was wearing the right clothes, saying the right thing, and just having a cautious approach of everything. I was passive, I did not having a mind of my own, just agreeing with what everyone said to make them happy.  What I mean about accepting myself is appreciating the differences that exclude me from some people, physically, musically, and etc. because everyone's not going to like rock music or like my style of clothing or support everything that I do. Even though some of those differences excludes me from some close minded, ignorant people, my friends or other people that I haven't met yet, will accept me for me and decide to at least co exist with me. What changed all of that was high school of course, where everyone found themselves and was proud to be a individual. In high school I realized I had to be independent, care less of what others think and stand up for what I believe in. In college I don't think this will be much of a problem because everything is so diverse here. One obstactle I have yet to overcome is my overpowering shyness, It's really annoying how intimidating I feel large groups of people are, so I usually tend to stay quiet and just sway in the background. I've heard that being introverted probably won't help me in my college experience but I think I'll manage to survive. I hope that college expands my knowledge that I have already gained throughout elementary school and beyond and prepare me for my dream job.
