Change In My Life

852 Words4 Pages

I live in Canada now. Moving here was a drastic change in my life as I realized later in the years, but I believe it has been a positive change even though I have had ups and downs. I have seen myself grow as a person in confidence, intellectually and by making new friends. As a child, I was extremely shy and reserved. I never talked to anyone in school and not that much at home either. During my parent-teacher interviews from pre-school up to grade 4, my teachers never had concerns with me academically, but they would ask my mom if I had trouble speaking. I never had trouble speaking, I was just a very reserved child with low confidence. However, after coming to Canada, I felt like I had no choice but to fit in and start making friends and today I still have a long way to go in developing my confidence and social skills, but I can safely say I am a much more confident person than I was five years ago. I love travelling, and I think I get that from my mom. She loves going to new places as you already know because she tells me that you used to take her to new cities whenever you went somewhere. Since I was a child, I have been travelling quite a lot. I love going to new places, each place has its own story to tell, a history and the …show more content…

I remember a while back my brother’s was wearing flip flops and his heel got injured in a bike while it was moving. His skin was peeled off and we had to take him to the hospital. That day, looking at his wound I cried so much even though he was not crying at all. It was as if I could feel his pain and he couldn’t walk for quite a while, so I made sure he got everything he needs and he doesn’t feel any more pain. To this day, whenever I look at other people suffering or in pain, I can’t help but feel as if I am in that situation. Whenever I am sick myself, I don’t think it is such a big deal, but when others are sick I always feel like they have it worse and I try to help them

Pema Chodron formerly said, “Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.” People need to understand what people share is what makes everybody human. If they do not understand what makes us human than they will not know how to feel sympathy or compassion. If everybody thinks about it, we all go through some of the same situations. Everybody experiences, relationships, they may lose someone in their life, people make choices everyday, people may be obliged to use their flight or fight skills in survival, they might have to think about their morals when doing something, and everybody most definitely goes through different kinds of emotions every single day.

He was rounding home plate, the small crowd was going wild. The Lombardi 's Pizza little league team had just won their first game; my mother was ecstatic, my father was underwhelmed per usual. I wasn’t aware of either of those facts though, because I had been sitting behind the dugout reading to all of my friend’s little siblings “Boo to You, Winnie the Pooh”. Most 9 year old boys ignored the bored younger siblings that were forced to be present at the team’s games - but I wanted them to be happy, and in turn I knew I would be happy. I’ve always loved people, my earliest memory is from when I was 5 years old and noticed a woman with twins.

There is an old Moorish proverb that reads, “He who does not travel, does not know the value of man.” That quote resonates deep within me because I have a yearning to use my education to empower those in need.
