she is a native! what was he like back in the day? bridgette was the center of a lot of ridicule because she put herself out there (cheerleading tryouts were a nightmare she will never discuss again). a lot of it, she seemed to take with a grain of salt and pushed the envelope by asking, "why can't i try things because of my size?" all the insecurities were mostly kept private. things kind of mellowed out the end of her junior year / going into senior year. she put her verbal skills to work on the debate team and was more sarcastically outspoken. it took a long time for her to truly embrace herself but she always tried being there for others (once they could see past her odd sense of humor). she was also a math and science tutor.
