Post monologue i felt like a weight has been lifted off me. I have always been the type of person to suppress my feelings and to have the opportunity to be able to share what i felt and who i am with LC09 it felt great. Being so insecure during my early teenage years has affected me in so many ways, but mostly in a positive way surprisingly. And being able to share something so personal like that with the group made me feel like i could trust these people, i had faith in them and that made me so happy.  I liked being able to open up to them and show them what kind of person i truly am, because the best relationships are built when you show someone your true colors and you present yourself as your natural born self.

In freshman seminar I have grown and learned a lot about myself. When asked those personal questions during the free writes, it made me think a lot about things that i never really think about. I have experienced a lot of self-realization in this class and it has helped me attempt to stay true to myself. Freshman seminar not only helped me realize who i am however, it has also helped me realize what wonderful people LC09 has to offer.

I am Ana. I’m a girl who usually knows what she wants. A girl who has been independent since she was in diapers. I’m a girl who loves to make people happy. I’m an entertainer. A singer, a dancer, an actor, a poet, a comedian. I am the girl that everyone loves to misjudge, until they realize who i really am. I am a girl who adores being in good company having good conversation and good relations.

I am a girl who is lost in this big city of New York. It is a city that I will always love but will never hold my heart. I am a girl who would love more than anything to live in the country where her parents came from. Croatia is the place that holds my heart and my soul. I am a girl who looks forward to going back to that beautiful country every summer to see her family and friends. So much of my good memories, my closest relationships, my happiness lies in that country.

I am a girl who is longing to be reunited with the life that she lives over there. Doing anything she can over here to connect herself with the culture and the essence of the country. Using Croatian singing festivals and traditional folklore dancing as a way to interact with others who share the same heritage and passion for that country .

So if you want to know who I am… as of right now, I am a girl who’s hopeful, hopeful for the future to bring her back to the wonderful country that holds her happiness. I am girl who just wants to be reunited with her one true love, Croatia.
