I grew up quite shy, but that changed over time. Eventually, I became very interested in a variety of societal topics—politics, community development, and more. In school, people used to call me a “nerd,” even though I never liked the label (and still don’t). It never truly described who I was, and most people don’t even understand what the word really means.
