7th lance ↟, Friends are my Strength [visual]
[Hey, didn't this pony pop up yesterday? Yes, yes she did, but now she's much happier, and it's her turn to do the What I Learned talk.]
Um, since everypony's talkin' about what they earned, Ah guess Ah should too.
[She looks embarrassed, and hangs her head.]
Before last week...Ah still had trouble relyin' on others. Ah...didn't want to put others at risk by askin' them to stand by me. Still wanted to believe Ah could do everythin' myself.
When Ah was little, my Pa passed, and all a sudden Ah was the one in charge of everythin', because Ma had to take care of my brothers and sisters. So...Ah learned to count on myself. The harvest, whether we had food to eat...that was all on me. And then when the wars came a couple of years later, Ah had to protect them. And so that's how Ah fought: As one by herself, never givin' myself a moment's rest...like Ah couldn't rely on others. And...truth be told, Ah was afraid to. Ah didn't want to bother others with that...
And at the same time, Ah thought Ah was too weak to be of any use to anyone, that Ah wasn't worth it.
[She raises her head now, a strange new fire in her eyes.]
But this week...Ah saw the truth. Princess Luna once told me Ah wasn't an island, that Ah didn't need to do stuff on my own...and it took almost gettin' my friends killed by...my Shadow...to see that. That Ah can be strong, and that, at the same time, Ah can rely on my friends. And even if they ain't here with me, they're part of my Strength. And that if they believed in me, then Ah should too.
Ah wish it hadn't taken this past week to learn that, but now that two dear friends are alive and well again...Ah think Ah can learn to believe better now. If my Shadow did anythin' to anypony, Ah apologize, and Ah'll do what Ah can to make it better, and if anypony wants to talk, Ah've got two willin' ears.
So, to all who call me friend, and to all those Ah will, in the future, call friend...
Thank ya, for bein' there, and for bein' my friends.

Y-y'all, Sir Morgan just...asked me out on a date!
[She's buzzing with nervous energy.]
