When I arrived at Cornell, I was very shy about meeting new people, so I kept to myself a lot and only hung out with my Posse from the Posse Foundation. However, during my first semester, I met my first community through Melodramatics Theatre Company after my first musical performance of Avenue Q. Eventually, I promised myself to be more social during my second semester to meet new individuals. So, one day I decided to sit in the lounge of Jameson Hall, 3rd floor, and that's where I met my true family (friends). It's crazy to say that I've been friends with my friends since the first year, and if it weren't for me taking that step outside of my comfort zone, I probably never would've met the amazing individuals I know today.
