When I first got my letter from Hogwarts and heard about the various houses, I thought that Slytherin was the house I was definitely not going to be sorted into, considering I am Muggleborn. Now, having been in Slytherin for some time, I can see that blood status doesn't come into it. For me, being Slytherin is showing a fierce determination to push through when things are getting me down. Whether they're the pressures of school work or life in general but having that determination keeps me sane. As a Slytherin, I have the mindset to not let the little things worry me. I think that this house has somehow boosted my confidence which I had been lacking.
