Silence

 I feel that silence is a good thing depending on the circumstance. Say for instance, you get into an argument with a loved one and afterward you are sitting there in silence not talking, that would be a bad silence, but have you ever thought of why you have stopped talking? Is it just because you cannot think of anything to say or is it because you subconsciously studied the person and have come to the conclusion that neither one of you is willing to give up so to stop the fighting you just stay silent. A good silence for example would be going for a walk and listening to the silence. It can be therapeutic, and soothing. 
An awkward silence i think is when some one is thinking of something to say, but cant find the words or your expecting someone else to talk. Kind of like how we waited for Mr.S to start talking the first day of class. I don't think its necessarily a bad thing, I mean its not a good thing either but its just something that happens. On another note i don't think people talk just to fill the air. I think that they talk to communicate. but yes some people just like to hear the sound of their voice. 
As we grow up we are taught right from wrong and what is expected from us and what is expected from others. But just because something happens out of the ordinary does that mean its bad? My answer is no. Just the same way that Mr. S was sitting there in silence other unexpected things can become lessons in life.

Who am I?

I am a sister, daughter, granddaughter, friend, cousin, student, employee, girlfriend, and in the word of Gwen Stefanie I'm just a girl. I grew up in the south side of Chicago where i lived with my grandmother, mom, brother, aunt, uncle. and cousins, so i grew up in quiet a large family. That's nothing out of the ordinary for your typical Belizean family, If there is a such thing. My family came to America from Belize. My mom came when she was 3, and my dad came when he was 18. Along with 3 of my 5 siblings I am a first generation American. 

After I lived in Chicago I moved to a Northern suburb near waukegan. There I went to a private school where i met some really amazing people. I was shy, and at first was scared to reach out. I was the opposite of outgoing. Because of the amazing friends that reached out to me, I am now confident and not scared to be a friend. 

After my short lived life near waukegan I moved to where i am now with my stepmom, little brother, step grandma, and Dad. This is where I started High school. I didn't know anyone when i started, but using the new set of skills i found some friends fast. Now I'm a Junior and I'm sitting in Sociology typing this. Life is always changing and thats great. I'm just a Girl. You reading this maybe just a girl also, or you maybe just a boy. you may ask what we all have in common? The one thing I'm sure we all have in common is we are different, unique, and constantly changing.
