It's a limitation to my socialisation skills. Making new friends is really awkward because I don't know how to communicate and ask the right questions in order to end up as friends. When I first came to the US I only knew the basics of english. It was eventually time to start school and I begged my mom to please send me to a bilingual school, that didn't happen. The day before school started I thought I was going to throw up, I kept on overthinking. My parents worked so I had to take the bus, I sat alone. When I got to school the teachers were very nice to me and to my surprise, the kids were too. The first day I went home wanting to go back to school immediately to keep trying to befriend people, even with -00983% knowledge in english. 

This relates to my theme because I am showing how I didn't know how to make friends AND I also barely knew english, but I still pushed my incredibly introverted and overthinking self to the side so I could try meeting new people.

Anything that had to do with sports was a big no for me. Also, because I never really had an interest in any of that, when I did try to do any kind of sport I would get tired in the first 5 minutes. I thought I just wasn't built for it. So I just stuck to not doing any sports or working out for the whole year. One day I went to the pediatrician for my normal health check appointment and the doctor told me that at my age I was overweight and I should do some kind of sports. I went home that day not caring at all what he told me but my self conscious kept bothering me. Soon after, the schedule handouts for 7th grade were introduced to us. I heard that all the girls wanted to do athletics so I became curious and started asking what it was. When I found out what it was I said no. There is no way I was going to do that, first because I just didn't like sports, second I hate running, and third I didn't know any of the girls. One day before we had to turn in the schedules, my mom gave me a lecture over how you know if you like or dislike something if you never try it out, so I was kind of forced to pick athletics. Part of me kind of wanted to do it though. So I did. Now, it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I made new friends and the overweight problem is no longer a problem.    

This relates to my theme because I explain how doing sports just wasn't my cup of tea, but I still did it and in the end it has helped me a lot physically, mentally, and socially.]]> 2023-01-17 02:27:17 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthacarrillo780/igfxzzh1f71rde2v/wish/2446234689
