A New Beginning

Hey everyone, this semester marks the beginning of a new chapter in my life. This is my fourth semester at SHJC, and each semester I experienced something different.
Over the year, I can say I have changed a lot. I'm no longer the person I used to be. I found out things about myself that I didn't know and I shared some of my secrets(which is something I have never done) with a friend I met. I also did things that I never dreamed of doing.
I still can't control my temper though. So far, I've never lost control while I'm here, but as I get home, I lose it.
My sisters always say that it's because I was born in March, and they describe me as being dangerous, but I don't think that's true. My uncle told me once that shy girls are the most dangerous and my friends' mother always say that easy waters run deep. The surface may seem calm and it might look shallow, but try going inside, you'll drown!
The wall I built around me over the years is slowly tumbling down. I opened up a little bit and ventured through new paths. Some moments were very disappointing, pleasing, unbelievable, unexpected, and most of all "magical", like the one on my birthday( totally unexpected too!).
Some of the changes that have already happened are:
  • I walk between 30-40 mins to school everyday, instead of the usual 10 mins I used to walk. double that and you get 60-80 mins!!!
  • I live in Santa Elena now.
  • I have to cook my own food! I'm not really used to that, since I only cook when I feel like. So far, I haven't done anything, my sister does it (she'll soon force me to).
There are still some of my old habits that hasn't changed though, like reading and staying up late at night, doing nothing.
I'm expecting more things to happen, both good and bad (can't run away from that).

You can be whoever you what to be... sure we all have personalities, but with effort we can change. That is what I think.
