“I think I feel like at first when people meet me, I’m pretty shy or reserved but then once they become friends or when I get to know something better I feel like I have better understanding on how I can talk to them… I become really like an outgoing and funny person to them… One thing I do especially when I get stressed out is, I try to space myself out from what stressing me out. For example, if I have a really stressful long homework assignment, I kind of just take a break and go on my phone or I try to see if there’s something I can do to make the task easier. For example I feel like writing something out is hard. I can try to like do it or maybe type it because that will make it faster so I would try to find a faster way to solve the problem.” – Lakshmi Suresh
