Hello, I'm here.

Have you ever walked into a classroom and nobody sees you. They don't aknowledge your existence just simply stare at there smart phones and take selfies to send to their friends. I always just want to yell hello, I'm here. I feel like this happens a lot. In the halls, in the classrooms, in the bathrooms. it's like nobody sees me, but they really do. They just choose not to speak up and say hi. I blame it on the fact that my zodiac sign says I'm intimidating but when I face reality head on its a completely different story. They are too attached to their current friend group to say hi to me walking past while I'm alone. 

and it's not just me its that boy who makes odd comments in chemistry class, it's the girl who blurts out exactly what she thinks because she doesn't have a filter in seminary. 

There are people out there who just simply need a hello👋🏻 to brighten up there day. They just need a smile to know that someone out there sees them. 

There are times that I have been the person who walks down the hall trying to avoid eye contact because I don't know the person I'm passing in the halls. But wouldn't you rather be the person that smiled then the person that didn't smile back. Well I would. 

And the heck with thinking your too cool because we're all weird in our own ways. High school is filled with jocks and cheerleaders who think they're too cool. But the real cool ones that we need more of are the people who don't care about another's status to say hi to them and befriend them. 

This is for the Ben Clarks, the Hannah Eliesens, the Alyssa Wildes, and the Mikelle Dimonds who made my high school experience amazing, they are the ones I will always remember.
