All About Me All About Me

Up until now I have lived a pretty simple and what i consider boring life. I was born in California and lived in mexico, back in california, and finally in idaho. I wanted to go to california for college until i realized is was ridiculously expensive. I consider the most interesting thing about me is that i did every big life event kind of young. Because of the way i chose to live my life i magnified my shyness. It is something i am working on. Overall my life has been dull up until this moment.
I am proud of and consider myself someone who grew up fast. A number of events contributed to this. In my education I was always the youngest of all my peers. That was because

I think that has a mixture of the way i was raised and my personality. I am the only girl in my family. When I was younger i would be more interactive with other people, but as time when on i became more introverted. In my neighborhood there was no one to hang out with and i did not have a good relationship with my brothers so i spent a lot of time alone in my room. When i started working i did have to interact with more people because i was a waitress, but i could never hold a conversation other than what 's on the menu. Throught high school i had three really good friends that i would spend the entire school time with, and some weekends, but other than that i remained alone. When I met my husband it only isolated me more. We started our relationship long distance. He lived in mexico and i lived in idaho. I would spend the majority of my free time skyping and calling him. When i started college my husband was not able to move to pocatello with me so i stayed in the turner dorm rooms. Living there i was able to meet new people and make new friends who i would see on a daily basis. When my husband moved to pocatello i became isolated again. We got a house together and he works every day till six. So most of the day i am by myself just doing what i need to …show more content…

    2005). Growing up I found it difficult to connect with people on an emotional level. Additionally, I would only share information up to a certain degree until I put up a wall and shut people out. For example, growing up I was embarrassed about my living circumstances. I immediately assumed others would judge me if they saw how I was living.…

    When asked to define myself in one paper, I find it hard to show the details that I want to in the right light. When asked about my future after high school, I also have a hard time describing everything I want to get done because there are far too many things to name. The quote “ _____” (i want to be everyone and do everything and there isn’t enough life to do it all in) describes me to a tee, and I believe this college is the place I could do this in. Being a shy person for most of my life, many things were difficult for me. Specifically, last summer I had the opportunity for a summer job.…

    When I think about the boy who I was growing up, the young adult I am today, and the man I plan to be in the forthcoming years, one aspect of my life stands out to me far more radiantly than anything else: my culture, my skin, my identity as a Bangladeshi-American. There aren't many clubs or organization for Bangladeshi Americans such as myself. Make no mistake, there are certainly events for Bangladeshis living in the United states, many that I have attended due to various entreaties from my parents. These are event where the only language spoken is one that I barely speak (Bengali), the only music conversed about is that which I don't listen to or understand, and the only events discussed happen in another country that I have spent only a…

    We moved here from Hendersonville, Tennessee and honestly I’m glad we moved away from there. When we moved here we had some friends who were here, so I was able to make at least one friend before school started. Starting school wasn’t so miserable, at least it was better than southern education, the school didn’t look so miserable, so I thought I’d give it a try. Being at this new school was like entering a strange new land. I didn’t meet any friends until the second day of school.…

    A Thousand Experiences Throughout life, individuals face different obstacles and struggles; my obstacle was my tendency to be shy. For example, when I was faced with social pressures like speaking in front of a class for a presentation, or meeting new people, I would be a nervous wreck. My palms would sweat, my voice would tremble, and it took all the strength I could muster to overcome my irrational fears. I only had a small, albeit close knit group of friends due to my introverted ways.…

    but I was still incredibly shy, solo and ground presentations or speeches at school gave me anxiety. I opted out of a lot of opportunities because of how shy I was and that was very hard to deal with now that I’m older and I now wish I could go back and attack those opportunities I missed out on. Present day I am still shy but not as bad as it was in middle school and before that, if anything I loved growing up shy even if I didn’t get to experience some things because I wouldn’t be who I am if I hadn’t grown up being so shy. It is a personality trait that I will cherish because even though it took some things away from me it gave me a lot more…
