Congratulations for you! I've also just experience this today.

I came to my old high school and met some people who back then, kinda bullied me in a way people just didn't seem to realise. But it made a big scar for me. There's an election of 2 people to become the leader for an event, with a troubled heart I choose the A group rather than B (which all my bullies and former coach choose, the coach also didn't like me for being too shy and unsure), but my heart also told me that's the best choice for me and I stick with it.

The coach didn't like my choice, my friends (slash bullies) also made fun of me. I felt pressured there yet I stand by my choice, and I wouldn't let anyone interfering with what i think is right.

At the end of the day, I wasn't really the happiest person there, I actually felt down for a bit. but I was quite satisfied with myself for sticking up to my opinion. No matter who, and what i was fighting for, it's a huge step for me and I'm proud of it.
