I know myself well enough to know which are my strengths and my weaknesses, but I still trying to discover what I lack and what do I have to change. I know that sometimes I can be tremendously shy. I barely talk to my classmates, only when I have a doubt with the homework or something like that. Maybe it's because I feel very different from them. I don't feel special or more important than them, just …show more content…

One of my hobbies is to watch anime, and since child I have been fan of the local dubbing of cartoons and movies, so this taste lasted until I knew anime.

I already knew the situation of the dubbing in Mexico, and I had met a lot of talented Latin and Mexican voice actors like: Mario Filio, Luis Alfonso Mendoza, Eduardo Garza, Maggie Vera, Isabel Martiñón, Paty Acevedo, Carlos Segundo and Mario Castañeda. However, I wanted something else so, I searched for the original voice actors of my favorite anime series, and I discovered a whole new world.
Japanese voice actor were not only actors, but also singers, models and idols. I searched for their music , and now that is all I want to listen. Their songs, their voices make me feel something I barely felt with music in English or Spanish.

    I was always left out of sleepovers, parties, etc. The group of girls that I used to hang around in middle school are now in jail or getting into drugs. I knew that they weren’t exactly the best group of people but they accepted me when none of the other “popular” girls seemed to, or so I had thought.

    However, that does not mean I did not go through some sort of similar transformation. When I first came to this school I told myself that I was going to stick in my own lane and be this anti-social person. That did not last though as experiences here and even outside of my classroom experiences led to this type of change. Since the start of high school, I was this anxiety-riddled anti-social person. I had a very small group of friends and once I left high school for university that small group of friends dwindled drastically.

    I am extremely shy and try not to talk to people I do not know, but if I become comfortable around someone then I will talk a lot more. I believe that true friends are one of the most important things to have in life. As a result, I would rather have a small group of well known friends as opposed to a large group of somewhat known friends. When speaking, I feel that the smaller the group I am trying to talk to, the harder it is. For example, talking to new people at school causes me to feel stressed mainly because the people I am talking to will probably know somewhat about me, but public speaking comes easy to me because I know that the majority of the people I speak to will not speak to me ever
