Ancelmo Almeida Freshman Seminar 10/19/2011
Monologue
There are many things people don’t know about me just by the first impression I give. For example, often many people confuse my nationality. This, I find very interesting because I don’t understand why people have the idea that if someone looks Spanish they are probably Colombian. Well, I’m not Colombian, I am Ecuadorian. Also, many people when they meet me for the first time they think I’m a shy quite guy, which is not completely wrong. The thing is that I realized I am very shy when I meet someone for the first time, but when I get to know them a little bit better I become more comfortable and become more talkative. I also like to think a lot, so this makes me thinks that the reason I am a little shy when I meet someone for the first time is that i like to study the person, see what kind of personality they have and see if we can potentially become friends. Another thing about me is that I really like dogs, and all kinds of animals. Growing up I was very lucky to always have a pet to play and keep me company, until I moved to the United States when I was nine years old. When I moved here, my building didn’t allow pets in the apartments so I felt sad and lonely. Now, I really don’t care thou because I know when I am older and successful I am going to afford my own place and get as many pets I want. There are still many things people don’t know about me, even if they have known me for a really long time. This is okay thou, because I believe that no matter how long one knows a person, one can’t possibly know every little detail about the person’s life.
