overcome

Today at CPC I was sitting in for its volunteer program's group meeting, with about 20 high school kids split in groups planning for upcoming events. As they were talking, I saw parts of the old me in them--afraid to make phone calls to strangers, not knowing what to do, nervous...If anything, the one thing that has changed in me since college begins is that I've become more brave--Of course I'm still nervous about things like talking to, calling, interacting with strangers and professionals, but I am no longer deathly afraid of doing that. It was a phase, the phase when I thought there was no way that I could do it--but now I did it, many times over. Now I know it could be done, all that left to do is to perfect it.
