Recommended: What factors contribute to friendship formation among the children

Prologue
Have you ever felt the universe is calling you in a certain direction?

Well, that is what I have feeling all this year. I know where I want to go. I know what I have to do to get there. However, Why I can’t advance? I see my classmates and friends around me and I think “Wow, they are going forward, aren’t they?” That makes me feel proud of them, but at the same time I feel like they are leaving me behind.
I know myself well enough to know which are my strengths and my weaknesses, but I still trying to discover what I lack and what do I have to change. I know that sometimes I can be tremendously shy. I barely talk to my classmates, only when I have a doubt with the homework or something like that. Maybe it's because I feel very different from them. I don't feel special or more important than them, just …show more content…

One of my hobbies is to watch anime, and since child I have been fan of the local dubbing of cartoons and movies, so this taste lasted until I knew anime. Being so curious, when I was 14 years old, I wondered how the work of a voice actor was. I already knew the situation of the dubbing in Mexico, and I had met a lot of talented Latin and Mexican voice actors like: Mario Filio, Luis Alfonso Mendoza, Eduardo Garza, Maggie Vera, Isabel Martiñón, Paty Acevedo, Carlos Segundo and Mario Castañeda. However, I wanted something else so, I searched for the original voice actors of my favorite anime series, and I discovered a whole new world.
Japanese voice actor were not only actors, but also singers, models and idols. I searched for their music , and now that is all I want to listen. Their songs, their voices make me feel something I barely felt with music in English or Spanish. Although I did not understand the lyrics of the songs I could feel the feelings they were trying to transmit, and before start to studying Japanese I already had notions of the language, so I could understand a 20% of the

However, that does not mean I did not go through some sort of similar transformation. When I first came to this school I told myself that I was going to stick in my own lane and be this anti-social person. That did not last though as experiences here and even outside of my classroom experiences led to this type of change. Since the start of high school, I was this anxiety-riddled anti-social person. I had a very small group of friends and once I left high school for university that small group of friends dwindled drastically.

I was always left out of sleepovers, parties, etc. The group of girls that I used to hang around in middle school are now in jail or getting into drugs. I knew that they weren’t exactly the best group of people but they accepted me when none of the other “popular” girls seemed to, or so I had thought. I was never a very skinny girl, especially not in middle school. I always felt self-conscious because my other friends all weighed 115 pounds when I weighed at least 130.

Usually in life, it is best for anyone to take a step back to the past and look at the big picture. No one could flatter himself that he is immune to the changes around him. Moreover, with all the demands that life can put on a person, sometimes it is easy to lose the essence of “me”. By losing this essence, the person could develop either a better version or a worse version of himself. Looking back at the beginning of this year (freshman year), I have been just that young soul eager to meet life’s challenges especially culture changing challenges.

When I was little I always tried to keep to myself; I never really wanted to be more than be an average student. I would go to school and would go home every day and never tried to do more.

I am extremely shy and try not to talk to people I do not know, but if I become comfortable around someone then I will talk a lot more. I believe that true friends are one of the most important things to have in life. As a result, I would rather have a small group of well known friends as opposed to a large group of somewhat known friends. When speaking, I feel that the smaller the group I am trying to talk to, the harder it is. For example, talking to new people at school causes me to feel stressed mainly because the people I am talking to will probably know somewhat about me, but public speaking comes easy to me because I know that the majority of the people I speak to will not speak to me ever

That was one of the factors of me scoring good grades in high

Out of My Element By society's standards, college students are stereotyped as party animals. However, I have always thought of myself as a very introverted person.

In the two years that I have been in college, I have not visited any of my friends from high school that went to other colleges.
