Years ago, I reached a point in my life where I felt disconnected from everything, anonymous. I had just transferred schools. During the beginning of the first grade I had just been added into the class and was completely unknown to any and everyone in that class; besides the two students who transferred into the school with me. I was never the type of person who was able to make friends easy but, I was always into doing my work and sticking to my studies.

I had known nobody and I didn’t feel like there was much wrong. During my free period, I’d be one of the children who played by themselves. I guess you can say I had gotten good at being a loner and that’s a quality within me that never changed and always remained. Till this day, I prefer working alone, out of preference, not for any other reason. However, I always felt as if I mattered, and I don’t think that’ll ever change. The lonely feeling never held me back from being the person I am today. Over time I met new people, friends, and became better acquainted with the kids in my class. People would start to ask me for help in school and since then I’ve always been the person everybody comes to for help in math and science. Even though I didn’t have the most social experience as a child, in my deepest hopes and dreams, I knew that in the future that’ll change, and I’m glad it did.
