Dear 17-year old Michelle,
You are a shy kid by nature, I know that... but it's time to start make changes in your life that will leave you admitting, "I wish I had done that earlier." I know it's extremely hard for you to break out of your shell and divert from your reserved demeanor (I was you once). Opening up to people you aren't completely comfortable with is without a doubt nerve racking and anxiety-inducing, but also extremely worth it. People will never get a chance to experience the real you if you continue to hide behind that wall of fear... and that would be unfortunate because I think you're pretty great. It will hinder your ability to become involved in everything that Drexel and Philadelphia has to offer, as well as sheltering you from a wide array of amazing opportunities. Now is the perfect time to go forth and be yourself in any situation you stubble upon, you are in your prime young grasshopper! It's incredible what you can learn in just 5 short years that, had you known earlier, would completely change your life. Just remember that 5 years down the road you won't be happy regretting what life you could have lead in college.
"When the road ahead seems endless remember that with each step you take you are that much farther from where you started!" - Michelle McKinley
