When I started my 7th grade, I wanted to change but I didn't know how or when but I wanted to change as soon as possible mainly because I was sick and tired of the typical image of all the Hispanics in my town. Everyone followed a pattern and their music was their guide. There was no one who stood in the middle of the crowd but I decided to be that person and again, I did not know how since I was too shy back then.
As my schooling went on, I often bullied for being "too quiet" and that crossed the line but didn’t do anything till the end of the 9th grade, mainly because I did not want to get bullied anymore. As I started on my 10th year, I met various Goths and Metalheads on the new school and thus, it mainly inspired me to take that very step that I always wanted. I started to wear blacker and darker clothes both in school and behind it. My mother started to get concern by each day that passed and grew a lot more concern when I saw some baggy pants (with chains on, of course) on a shop and when I became 18, I decide to finally buy it with the money I got on my birthday. Back at home, my father took notice on the pants in the bag and wanted me to try them on and without any further delay, I put them on and he was amazed. Both that I had changed and it looked pretty damn good and my mother agreed, not in fear but with joy. I later brought my coat and by each day I wore them, my folks liked them as much as I did.
Now I became good friends with some of the Goths and Metalheads on my school and I was damn pleased to myself that I was willing to take that step. But even if the majority of the Hispanics are still in their ways, my friends sees me as unique and awesome mainly because they know a Hispanic that isn’t like the rest of the bunch.

i've become more mature, and more knowlegeable about things so that when i get into arguements now, i don't rant on things based on observation. i've grown more introspective and have started to be more considerate of other people, the ones who are considerate of me. which is good, i guess. i'm still selfish at times.
i've become more confident about who i am, and when someone makes fun of me, i don't whine or gripe about how i wish they backed off. reality is, they never do, so i am gonna be happy with who i am and if they aren't, then tough luck.
however, my procrastination...has gotten worse. and i control my anger by doing inconstuctive things like ranting. which i do alot.
