I can be very pessimistic and tend to dwell on the negative things in my life. I often miss out on certain things and stay alone. I find change a scary thing and even small daily changes worry me. My mother tells me that the time has come to start from scratch and reinvent myself. In an effort to change, I decided to follow his advice and start looking for the positive things in my life again rather than focusing on the negative. Being at Western New England can help me step out of my comfort zone and push me to adopt a new, more positive attitude while enjoying many of the exciting clubs and activities that Western New England has to offer.
