    Throughout the remainder of sixth grade and going further, I would go on to be reserved and quiet. While being shy isn't necessarily a good thing, I feel like it has made me more mature and well behaved. I feel like it has given me good qualities like modesty and politeness to others. In addition, I feel like it's a nice quirk to have and it gives me an overall good or neutral impression towards other people. It was a good step forward, however, I’ve started to feel like I’ve become too distant towards others and society.
