Flaws In High School Essay

The subjects that I have difficulty in don’t reside in school education classes. Making friends and speaking aloud are my greatest flaws.
From kindergarten to the end of middle school, friends were kind of just handed to me. Age 5-11, kids have the ability to make friends with no regard race, gender, social status, etc. Once middle starts, certain standards were set.
