Hell, I'd rather have a strong kid than a weenie who gets pushed around.

When I was little, I was the epitome of polite and shy. It took a lot to bust out of that comfort zone. I'm still fairly polite but only shy about a few things because the pendulum swings both ways, yeah, and now I'm an extrovert.

In a way, I'm glad for the challenges. She's made me such a better person.
