I started my first year of college with my life prearranged. I had a ridiculous notion that everything was going to be a piece of cake. I was going to join different clubs‚ do lots of research‚ make the dean’s list‚ make my parents proud and attend as many parties as I could. However‚ now when I look back‚ I realized that I was too comfortable in my life. I thought I was ready to overcome every obstacle that was thrust upon me but I was sadly mistaken. College was a culture shock. I concluded that

I struggled to come up with a time in my life where I could not be myself. I have had the same job for fourteen years‚ have been with the same person for more than fourteen years‚ and have had my friends for longer still. Trying to find a time that I can distinctly remember not being myself I have to go back a long time‚ probably around eighteen years.

Eight years ago‚ I was wishing to come to America. I was born and I grew up in Africa‚ a country known as Tanzania. Everybody in Africa wishes they could be born in America.

I was diagnosed with depression when I was thirteen years old. I didn’t tell my parents until one year after I discovered my affliction.

My dad was the person that named me Brian. Knowing him‚ I was pretty lucky to get a normal name. I’m surprised that it wasn’t something strange or funny-sounding. My siblings have pretty normal names too. My brother is William and my sister is Jennifer. My middle name is Robert. It was given to me because it is my father’s name‚ and his middle name is his father’s name‚ and so on. I guess my parents wanted to keep the tradition. My last name is Guedes.

I’d like to tell you more ‚ but I don’t have the time. One thing that I’ve had to adapt to is switching between houses since my parents are divorced. At first it was really annoying since I didn’t have all the things that I needed since some of my stuff went to one house then the rest to the other and I was just super confused.

All my life‚ all I ever knew was Indiana. My friends‚ school‚ and favorite restaurant were all there. I didn’t want to change anything! I was 8; I thought I had my whole life together.
