For most of my 19 years, I felt alone. I was pretty much miserable, don’t get me wrong I’m still miserable but life gets better as you experienced every good or bad thing in life. Life is bittersweet. I remember I felt really alone during high school, and I didn’t have friends, or I couldn’t count on my family members to tell them how I felt. During those years I use to think that everybody hated me and that no one would like to talk to someone quiet. That’s until I saw life from a different perspective. It took me a long time to realize that some people wanted to be friends with me but, I never opened up because I was afraid of people. I was scared of being judged by everyone. I’m still a lonely person, I feel like everyone feels alone in life. I usually force myself to open up because it’s okay to communicate with people even if you don’t have anything in common. As I mentioned before ” life gets better as you experienced every good or bad thing in life” By that, I mean that you will also meet bad people with bad intentions, but you shouldn’t let them think that every person is bad. Even though I feel alone I’m satisfied that I’ve met a lot of people who can relate with me. Recently I’ve lost someone due to suicide, and that experience made me realize that not everyone is alone. Even if you feel alone, and you think that everyone hates you there’s someone that truly loves you. It doesn’t matter if it’s a family member or a partner.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 1 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
