When I first came to Sartell many people thought that I was shy,different and non outgoing. I was in 3rd grade when I came to Sartell it was a fresh start for me and my family. My old school in Iowa was very different than in Sartell. I knew who I was as a person in Iowa now it felt like a restart. In my class different classmates would instantly judge me before actually trying to know who I was. My class in 3rd grade had 27 people more than half wouldn't even try to talk to me. People who would talk to me would say few words like hi then left. 4 or 5 people

    Relaying on historical documentations to write a story, the author sometimes is left to fill the gap of some of the events to make the story more plausible for the readers such as Nannie's death incident when Larson "used threads of known details to weave plausible account." On the contrary, Douglas Satrr stated that he "have taken no liberties with facts or the context in which the events related in the book." What limitations does the author have to employ his artistic imaginations to interpret some situations? Would the readers infer these events as the only truth rather than speculative situations?…

    Maire Saier’s “The Story Part of It” conveys a message; the unspoken is more prevalent than the written. Instead of writing every detail and recorded word the lack of it all reflects on the theme of the poem, the most powerful words are the ones left unwritten.…

    3.03 Introverts

    Growing up homeschooling, I wanted to break the typical homeschool stereotype kid. I had friends, I went to camps, and I joined many events. However, I had an introvert personality. And often times my friends neglected my existence because of my silence during their conversation; they went out with their classmates from school, leaving me unaccompanied and forgotten back in the corner. At camp, I ate my lunch alone, spent free time alone, and sat in the back alone. Not because I wanted to isolate myself from people, but the circle of people pushed me out the circle whenever I tried to join a crowd. I could not fit in.…

    I have always been a more reserved person, and as I began high school, I realized that beyond being just quiet or shy, I was dealing with social anxiety. With support from my family and friends, this is something that by acknowledging, I have been able to work towards improving. Being surrounded by a community of students made up of such unique, accepting, and intelligent individuals has also helped me with this. I have been very fortunate to have been a part of such an amazing group of students and teachers during my years as an IB student. While my social anxiety may be something I still struggle with daily, I have learned that it takes nothing away from the smart and kind individual that I have become as I have grown up, and I hope that as I continue into college and into my life, that more people will be able to see such things in…

    Change can be difficult part of a person’s life, oftentimes quite harrowing. Some may find change to be a good thing. I, on the other hand, find it to be more than former. This great change in my life was when my family was forced to move to a new city when I was fourteen. Not only, was I facing a great change, but it would be a change that would affect me for the rest of my life. When I found out that we were moving, I was frightened. I was going to lose all of my friends. I was going to have to start over. That was scary. Being the new kid in school is awful and upsetting, and I was not looking forward to that at all. Already being a shy person who has trouble connecting with new people, being forced to start at a new school was absolutely terrifying.…

    I feel like my friends and I have had a somewhat difficult time in mixing with others. I almost feel like if I had lived in the city, I might understand more about other types of people (as I've said before, I am the only Asian in my town, along with my brother) and how they think and interact. I feel at times that I am behind on a lot of things, including how to be cool. *buckteeth*…

    Shy Girl

    Ever since I can remember, I was always quiet and shy. I constantly had to repeat myself because people could not hear me the first time. Even then, I seldom made eye contact with others. When I entered high school, nothing changed. Soon afterward, I disliked the way my classmates thought of me. If someone had to make an announcement in class, I was not chosen because my classmates believed I was not vocal enough. If someone threw a party, I was never invited because they thought "Shy girls" would not want to come, I was considered a dork. Most of my classmates attracted a great deal of attention. No one willingly associated with me. Not only did my classmates see me as quiet and shy, but they made me start believing it, too. Ashamed, I always stayed to myself. I wanted my words to stick with people. "I wanted them to think Natasha said." I tried participating in class more and sharing my opinions, but that did not help. Whenever I made a comment, one of two things happened: I did not get the credit for my comment, or no one ever took me seriously. I felt helpless.…
