I think my close family and friends would say that I am outgoing. I am so outgoing when I am around people who I feel comfortable with. It is sometimes quite crazy how hyper I can be! I make faces, joke around and act silly because I love making people laugh. Being sweet and kind isn’t always enough; sometimes humor is good for the soul. I believe that people should be outgoing and sociable. Although I tend to contradict myself by presenting myself as a shy person to new people, I strongly believe that it is essential to be outgoing and alive in the spirit. Baruch is a new school and I am still getting used to the idea of meeting new people. I guess it is because I have a lot of friends here at Baruch who I already knew for a few years; I hang out with them all the time. I guess I am still in my “comfort zone” right now and feel comfortable with the people I already know. But, I enjoy spending my free time hanging out with those who I don’t get to see every day and who I have known for a long time. I feel that I can be myself without any worries. I also enjoy going spending time outdoors. I cannot stand being stuck inside the house doing nothing. I like to try different things, go different places and keep myself busy. I do not have the patience to sit in the house all day and watch tv. Even if it is raining and I have nothing to do, I will still leave the house. Sometimes I just go to the upermarket and roam around to keep my mind going.
My favorite thing to do is play my guitar. It all started about a year ago when I had this random epiphany that I wanted to be a guitar rock star. I guess it was because of my favorite band, Weezer who I had discovered a few months before that. I started getting into the alternative rock sound and became obsessed with guitars. I loved rocking out to the sound of the guitar which eventually inspired me to pick up a one. Motivated to teach myself, I went on a hunt for an inexpensive guitar, not knowing if I was even going to like the instrument. I ended up on the Target website, found a $100 acoustic guitar and ordered it. It was that simple. Surprisingly the guitar that arrived a few days later was beautiful and actually sounded great considering it was cheaply priced. I began
teaching myself and within 2 weeks I was already playing the basic chords of songs. I have continued to teach myself and have expanded my knowledge thanks
to the kind people on Youtube. I play all kinds of songs now from rock, pop to even country (surprisingly). There is still so much more to learn, but now I
feel comfortable playing many songs on the guitar. I don’t have to look or think about the notes; it comes naturally. I just could close my eyes, play and sing along to the songs I love. I love music so much.
