When I was 12 Years Old

Four years ago I was 12 years old and in the seventh grade. I was a very tiny boy and still had braces. Before I didn;t have as much freedom as I do now. I couldn't walk home alone or go out with my friends anywhere. At that time I was very shy I would never speak. My self esteem wasn't that high. Now that I have grown I have lost some of that shyness. Also since I was very short I couldn't reach many places. Those are some things I can do now, and that I couldn't do back then.
