What does it mean to "be yourself?" I didn't figure this out until the twelfth grade. Before that,
people only knew me ___(1)___ Paul's younger brother. Paul, who was one grade above me, was
really popular. But to most students, I was nothing more than a less cool version of him. I remember
people always (2)____ me about Paul, but never about myself.
After Paul graduated and I began my last year of senior high school, I was sure_(3)___this
would continue. But here's the funny thing: everybody seemed to have forgotten about Paul already!
___(4)____ the first few weeks, I still tried to be just like my brother. But then I decided I should have
my own personality. It felt really_(5)__ to be who I wanted to be, instead of living under my
brother's shadow. This went really well! My friends told me that I seemed happier than the year
before. Finally I knew what it meant to be yourself.
