Most people fall into this as they go through high school and sometimes you just have to stop and think if this is who they really want to be. Throughout the halls, most of the people you see are ones trying to be like everyone else because all they're striving for is to be liked and to fit in. Have you ever thought of how many people actually want to stand out and be themselves? The number is very low. But when Naomi gets back her memory, will she forget all this and become the old, selfish her or decide that the new her is better?
