Shyness

“3...2...1...ACTION!,” the camera began to roll. My friends rushed the “stage”, as I meanwhile tried my best to blend in with the shadows of the abandoned attic. I despised acting, because of my shyness. My friends and I would surpass ordinary levels of imagination movies we would create in our attic. Normally, I would be successful in hiding. However, this time proved otherwise. Right in the middle of my rejoicing over my success, my friend, the director, spotted me. “Oh shoot..”, I murmured.…

Besides that, I always lack of confidence when I talk and walk, because I couldn’t accept my language and body.

The name change is symbolic because it shows the beginning of the change between mama, dee, and Maggie.…

talkative with people that I know, and do not know. I believe this is from working at The Red Pepper with new people and customers, and interning at the hospital this last semester. I am very happy with what I am accomplishing in overcoming my shyness. With shyness comes what people think of me, and that comes with worrying and overthinking. These are two more of my weaknesses. I can get very anxious over small things, and this causes me to worry and overthink everything. I am working on…

The poem “I am offering this poem” by author Jimmy Santiago Baca is about his giving of a poem and what the poem should mean. Through the lense of point of view you can see that the theme of the story is “love is the ultimate gift.” which is shown in many areas of the text. In the first person point of view it shows what he wants the poem to do for the receiver, “keep it as a warm coat when winter comes to cover you.”(lines 4-5).

They say the goal in life is to live the “American Dream” and I would say I am living it head first. It all started when the time in my life came to pick an Univeristy to attend, and boy am I ecstatic with my decision to attend West Virginia University. WVU opened so many doors for me; however, if it was not for my family, I would not be where I am today.
