One thing that I’ve changed about myself is that I became more confident and tried to socialize with other people. So during my past, I was the kind of girl who was like the introvert kind of girl. I would just sit by myself in the corner of the classroom and then I would just wait for someone to approach me. But then one day I realized something that I would never get a friend if I never tried to socialize because no one see the potential in me so there will be no reason for them to come up with me and strike a conversation. So I tried to change. So during the first day there’s this girl that is known for being popular and she was very nice to everyone including me. And then, for the- on the first day, I tried to say hi with her and then the- the following day, next following day, I would strike a conversation with her, starting by asking her on how to do mad questions and then, um, we both eventually get to know each other and we start hanging out. And by that situation, I got a lot of opportunities in my life where I got accepted into some organizations that I have dreamed of and I’ve got rejected dozens of time before. But I think because of my confidence and my social skills, I got accepted through the organizations that was that requires me to be quite well known I would see and it improved other people’s life as well because I tend to feel bad for someone and for anyone who was left behind so I would just be friend with them even though I’m I heard like dozens of rumors about them but I still try to not let people out

But then one day I realized that I would never get a friend if I never tried to socialize, because no one sees the potential in me, so there would be no reason for them to come up to me and strike a conversation.

On the first day, I tried to say hi to her, and then the following day, I would strike a conversation with her, starting by asking her how to do math questions. Eventually, we got to know each other and started hanging out. Through that situation, I got a lot of opportunities in my life. I got accepted into some organizations that I had dreamed of, and I had been rejected dozens of times before. But I think because of my confidence and social skills, I got accepted into organizations that required me to be quite well known. It also improved other people's lives as well, because I tend to feel bad for anyone who was left behind, so I would just be friends with them even though I heard dozens of rumors about them, but I still try not to let people out.
