In this episode of Behind the Bell, I talk about what it really means to feel like the ‘main character’ in your own life. It’s not about being perfect or having everything figured out, it’s about confidence, growth and learning to take control of your own story, especially as high school starts to come to an end. I reflect on moments where I felt overlooked, stressed or unsure and how shifting my mindset helped me start seeing things differently. This episode is about realizing that your life doesn’t just happen to you, you shape it and you decide who you want to be.
