Six ways that I'm hidden from the light: I've gone to private Catholic schools for my entire education up until now, so that has sheltered me in a way. I'm only an outgoing person to the people that I'm close to, it may not take me long to come out of my shell but at first I'm reserved. I prefer to hang out with a small group of friends usually doing nothing in particular rather than going out with a large group of people that I only know a few of them. I've never been the one to try out for plays or anything that puts me into the main spotlight, I was in plays when I was in middle school only because our entire class had to be apart of it. I would rather be part of a sport team where everyone gets the credit and all works together for the rewards. I've applied to be apart of major groups in my high school, but was never enough of an "individual" to become a part of the group, because of this I have not wanted to apply for groups like that in college. I fear being rejected whether its by a job or a person or a group that I've wanted to join.
A manifesto according to dictionary.com is a public declaration of intentions, objectives, opinions, or motives. Typically this is related to companies and people in public offices like the in politics of some sort. To me a manifesto is a public way of saying where you are coming from and what you want to get out of a certain subject, whether it is a class, a sport or what ever.
I try to face the world with as much confidence as I can. I shouldn't worry about how other people see me. I believe the only times I should worry is when I'm going for an interview or something that important for my future. I want to just be myself around everyone that I encounter. Why do I have to change who I am just for those around me. I don't want to look back on my life and not like how I acted because I was not true to myself.
