Reflection

This year, I learned to be careful who you trust but to not be so private. Not everyone can be trusted, so don't tell someone something private because you never know who will spread it. Also I need to work on not being anti-social. It's good to have a few close friends but they need to not be my only friends. Keep the people close to me, but still make more friends.
