Introverts are often stereotyped as people who are unable to carry on a conversation, unable to have fun at parties, and unable to spend more than a few minutes at a time with people.

Better Than Boredom

Like every other season of life, you can make this the best or the worst of times. So choose your activities well. Don’t waste a moment. If you do nothing else this summer, learn to lean more on Christ and less on yourself.
