assertive

Dylan,

In a brief phone conference several weeks ago your teacher, while giving us our first review of your time at your new school described you as, among other things, "assertive". That's accurate, and I'm glad of it.

I think you'll find many many times in your life a choice to either define yourself or be defined by what others think (Note: It can take a long time to recognize these, so don't feel bad if you only start to notice them in retrospect). Stay assertive. Be yourself, and don't be fooled into thinking you are whoever other people think you are.
