Expressing my opinions was hard for me before since instead of saying them, I would lash out at my classmates in anger.  But during my time at The Bridge School I have learned that if you don’t speak up, then you won’t be heard.  Knowing that has helped me control my anger and reminded me to talk to and understand people better. I now understand that everyone’s opinion matters, no matter how different it is from your own.

Bridge has taught me to be confident.  It didn’t teach me how to be confident directly; it inspired me to TRY being confident.  It has helped motivate me to speak up and helps me believe that my answers can be right too.
