My name is Éva, I am 18, and I have always been a quiet girl. Since, I preferred books to noisy companies, and I often entrusted my thoughts to a diary rather than to people. But inside me, there has always been a dream - to become bolder. I was born in a small town where everyone knows each other, and sometimes it seemed to me that I was stuck in this cozy but cramped cage. My mother said that modesty is good, but my dad always added: "Don't be afraid to go beyond the limits." After school, I decided to take a step forward - I moved to a big city and entered journalism. Now I live in a dormitory, and every day for me is a small challenge. I am learning to speak louder, meet new people and not be afraid to make mistakes. Sometimes I feel like everything inside is shrinking with fear, but I remind myself: "You can be quiet, but this does not mean that you have to be invisible." And I believe that one day I can become who I want to be - strong, brave, but at the same time remain myself.
