One constant thing in life is change. It either comes in a positive way or negative way, but one way or the other we all go through change as an individual.
The five years ago me, was a shy and naive young lady, who basically did all she was told, and couldn't speak for herself, all I could think of then was to have good grades in school. I had no friends, not only because my parents were strict, also I found it had to communicate with people.

Personally, taking a journey back to where I was five years ago and where I am now, for a true a lot has really changed about me. I have gone through growth both physically, mentally and socially.
So, I decided to take some bold steps to get to where I am now, because growth is an important aspect of our life that most time come naturally or through some certain efforts/steps. Now, I can proudly say I'm better than how I was five years ago, I have grown and challenge myself to be an independent, bold young lady who can speak and make decisions for herself.
Here are the steps I took
First I decided to face my fear because as a child, I was very shy and I found it difficult communicating with people, I never speak even when spoken to. I was always cautions not to say the wrong things. But then I decided to come out of my shell, learning to become bold and outspoken, mostly by reading books and associating more with people.
Commitment and hard work- I have come to understand that for one to achieve something great in life, you need to put in commitment in everything you do because hard work alone doesn't really pay.
Determination and consistency putting your mindset, and effort on what you plan to achieve, contribute to our growth.
