Change? I’ve asked myself through the good and bad, why is this happening to me? Was it never meant to be? How can I change what’s going on? Is this a good thing?. To me a time that was a big change for me was going to a different middle school. Through out my elementary years, I had two best friends and hanging out with them was all we did during and after school. Six grade was coming to an end and we were excited to go to Jr high together and build new memories was what we all would talk about. Till the day came when my mom told me I would be attending a different school. It was heart breaking to be honest. I didn’t want to go, I was scared and didn’t care meet new people or much of the other people that I might of known that would be attending the same school as me. I only wanted to be with my close friends, to meet girls and go to our first party’s and have fun was all I cared about. And like any mother would, of course I was forced to go and start over in a new school. The first day was a nervous wreck, I felt out place, shy and didn’t know where to start. Till I meet Johnny a person who would soon be a close friend of mine. Because of him, I got out of my comfort shell and began to be more social with others. I still hung out with my best friends. But what I learned from that experience was starting over is not a bad thing. Sure we are all scared and shy around people we don’t know at first,. But this thought me to have better people skills and thought me how to socialize with others and start a conversation. My people skills was something I embraced and look for other ways to improve on it. Since that day I wouldn’t and didn’t have a problem attending different places and things with other people. I have meet some great people and I am very proud of the skill I guess you can say that I have carried on till this day.

ReplyDeleteI remember hatting to start new things. new schools were extremly scary for me. it is nice to see that you've found your comfortable place!
ReplyDeleteWhen I moved to a different neighborhood, I kept my kids in their old school instead of the new school that they should have been attending. I didn't want them to feel what you did when starting a new school.
