Monologue of an Outsider (Running on stage) I’m finally home. (Taking off backpack) I don’t want to ever go back to school again. I wish I never moved to Canada. Life was so much better in the States where I’d have all my friends around. (Looking at photos of friends) Now that I’m in a different country, I’ve lost contact with all my friends. My parents said we were going to have a better life here in Canada because my dad found a better job and found a nice house and I was looking forward to living here. But things aren’t going so well. It’s just the first day of school and I’ve not had a good experience. At recess, this really tall guy confronted me and asked me if I was the new kid and if I had any friends.

When I was 10 years old I moved to Chile that is very far away from the United States. It was hard to maintain contact with my friends from California. I would talk on the phone with them everyday but as the days passed by our phone calls shortened and started to be once a week,then once a month to never again. I tried to rebuild our friendship but it just wasn 't the same. As much as I tried to make it work the distance was just too much for both me and my friends.

It was finally the time for me to say goodbye to my relatives and friends and leave for the airport. I was nervous and excited at the same time as I was going to live away from the ones I loved. I always had a feeling that I will not be accepted or wanted by the new group of people that I was soon going to join, but as I immigrated to canada in 2013, nothing was strange; people behaved normally, sun rose in the morning and I never felt isolated. As a newcomer, I have seen lots of differences among my home country, India and Canada. Seeing such a different country with new people was like a maze which was slowly revealing its own secrets.

When I was in kindergarten, I did not have friends; my highs and lows oscillated on the approval of others who understood me even less than I did myself. For picture day, I remember being happy to wear my favorite shirt: a Strawberry Shortcake blouse with ruched sleeves. A girl deprecatingly told me I looked like a little kid. I never wore the shirt again. Although I already felt like an outsider, the situation worsened when I moved from Las Vegas to Hawaii.

Some friends come and go, while the real ones stay. I remember in middle school, my friends and I used to play sports, go out to the movies, spend time at the park, and stay in during recess and decorate the library. Those were some good times. However, now it is so hard to take some time out of our busy lives to spend quality times with friends. I realized that as we get older, we get more independent.

For most of my life I have felt like an outsider. I've been described as artistic and outgoing, but this was only a part of what made me different; what made me an outsider was my sexual orientation: I'm gay. During middle school I was severely bullied for being gay, I lost many of my friends, and when I tried informing school staff that I was bullied, I was ignored and left to figure it out with my family. It was hard for me and my relationships with those close to me. I would not fall victim to others' attacks, I had to persevere in my schooling, I became the little engine that could.

My reading goal was 800 pages. To be honest, I set the bar too low. It was set by the way we did it, yet I met my reading goal in the first two weeks. I think it was a combination of reading a book that wasn’t as hard for me and reading a lot. The two books I read were Eragon and Eldest, both by Christopher Paolini.

My whole life I have felt out of place; I did not fit in with the “crowd”. Most times, I was the lonely girl that sat by herself in the cafeteria, the last one picked in gym class for sports and the one to be by herself when working with others in class. I was born in Colombia; I lived there for 9 years. My dad lived in New York, and wanted my mother and I to move there with him, because of the better opportunities for me. When we finally moved, I started 6th grade and I was only 9 years old because I skipped a grade.

The light filtered through the dull grey blinds highlighting the musical instruments strewn over the floor with some propped against the stone grey wall. A streak of light flashed through the middle of the room, revealing a slim silhouette moving actively. The silhouette knelt down and a sliver of light streaked across her face revealing her dazzling brown eyes. She brushed back her bangs and extended her hand to press the play button on the silver CD player. As music started streaming out of the player, she stood up and let her body synchronise with the music.
