A younger me. :)

I've been in the mood of reflecting lately. I've realised that as I get older I have began to reflect and think about my past, present and future more. It feels like just a while ago I was graduating from kindergarden and naively started primary school and here I am today just finishing my form 4 year. It feels surreal that a while ago I was so excited to start high school and now I'm about to start my last year in high school in less than 2 months.
I've never realised how time flies but whilst thinking about my future I start to realise how much I've grown as a person. A few years back I was this young girl who was so anxious yet excited to start a new chapter of life which is high school. I was so intrigued by the life people led in their teen years. I do admit I was a ittle off the rails in my second year but after a while I  came to my senses and here I am now. 4 A's in my pmr and working hard up till now.
I used to be such a shy child growing up. I would always shy away from the attention. I never liked being under the spotlight and would always choose to be led instead of lead. It was just how I was in the past but after coming to high school I have come to realise that I am able to lead and should not shy away from the attention people give. I even started joining the school choir which later on brought me to a world class choir and it was amazing. It gave me so much more confidence towards my hobby which I would secretly do when I was much younger. I am now able to stand on stage and accept the mike gracefully without fear and shyness.
A younger Junie would never have the guts to take risks and take a different paths from her friends. She would always stick around her friends and follow their every move and decision. She didn't have her own opinions because she was scared to make the wrong decisions and take the wrong path. But that was the past and now she has become this girl who insisted on switching from science stream to arts stream because she knew she had to do it and she knew she couldn't just follow her friend's lead.
Its strange to know that I'll be leaving high school very soon and embarking on a new stretch of my journey in life. Its scary to think that I would need to take an exam that will make or break me in the future. I'm scared, worried and most importantly stressed. Everything seems to be moving so fast at the moment that its so hard to take it all in but I believe in the saying that God does not set these obstacles and things we go through for nothing. Every battle scar left is a reminder of what we've been through and make us stringer people than we already are. So stay strong and believe in God's doing because it all comes with a reason.
