From an Introvert to an Extrovert

By nature i've always considered myself as an introvert. I've always wanted to keep things to myself and i tend to be a loner in most occassion. I became anti-social and i wasn't good in relating with other people and often i felt left out from the crowd. My life before wasn't easy especially i had a language barrier problem since i only knew how to speak English and not the local dialect. Still God was faithful that through the hardship i experience in the past i was driven to become a different person when i entered college.

I was still an introvert even during my college days. I still had my language barrier problem and trust me i still suck in speaking Tagalog and Ilonggo (my local dialect in my home province). Most often people would laugh at my weird accent cause it seems like i'm singing rather than talking. Ilonggo has always been know to be very sweet whenever we talk so the accent kinda rubbed in my Tagalog and little bit on my English, not to mention my Chinese.

My college days were great i met new friends and i was able to begin a new chapter in my life. Through my life in college i got to know a lot of different people from all walks of life. Since i was studying in a university of different classes ranging from class A to D i was able to adapt to my environment. I learn how to become more open to other people's opinions and their way of life. I learn how to become more people oriented and i try avoid my shy nature at all times. I learn how to become more confident thanks to my line of work and through public speaking and marketing presentation i realize that i had a knack for speaking in front. I was soon discovering another part of myself, another new chapter in my life. The next thing i notice i wanted to be more involve in gatherings where i get to meet new people and soon my PR was soaring high. I became more approachable to everyone around me then i began to see a big transition in my life, soon i realize that i was becoming an extrovert.

Honestly this was a big change in my life, i never thought i would ever come out from my shell. I never did i imagine myself as the type who would love to be on stage performing and speaking into a crowd. I was driven by the fact i am at a certain phase in my life changing my whole personality from being a quiet artist to a talkative public speaker. I was just amaze on how much i have change since my days in my home province.
