Enlly B.


Hi my name is Enlly Bug and I was born on April 21, 1995. I am the youngest child out of three; I am two years younger than my sister and four years younger than my brother. I’ve lived in N*p* since my seventh grade year and I am surprised that hasn’t changed. I have lived in nine different cities throughout my life. When I was seven years old I moved to the United States, from Mexico, along with my mother and siblings. Learning a new language was extremely difficult and the constant moving from city to city didn’t help. For example, I attended three different elementary schools in three different cities during my 5th grade year.  I relate my shyness to the constant moving and how it developed throughout those years. I am a very shy around people I don’t usually interact with, but once I become comfortable with someone the real me is revealed. I am extremely picky when it comes to food, with zucchini and pickles being my worst enemies. Baking is one of my favorite hobbies, I like to indulge my family and friends to a delicious treat. I’m an animal lover at heart and I pamper my shih-tzu all the time. As a child my dream job was to be a veterinary but as I grew that has changed. I play the violin in the NHS Orchestra, which the few people that know about orchestra refer to it as “band”. I am musically ignorant when it comes to knowing about the latest big artist.  I am on the cross country team and I have a love-hate relationship with the act of running.  I find myself being influenced by many of my peers, most of the time positively. I constantly try to challenge myself by taking the hardest classes even if I am not the best at the subject. Trying new things isn’t a hard task, unless it is extremely out of the ordinary; I’m not afraid to try new things.  I always find myself procrastinating, but after a few all-nighters due to procrastination I try and make myself do my school work on time. Science is my favorite subject area, especially chemistry, I hope to become a chemical engineer someday. I become easily distracted; one minor thing will take away my attention from something of lager importance.  I consider myself another average high school student.  Sometimes I think I am invisible to others. At times I feel like I am a solitary person, I can be surrounded by many but I feel empty. I become extremely attached to people who I really trust and I am afraid of losing them. I don’t have difficulty making friends, but the act doesn’t come with ease. Pleasing others is my objective, although most of the time it results in me not being satisfied.  I find myself comparing myself to other people repetitively, yet this is a bad habit because everyone is unique. Speaking in front of large groups terrorizes me, and the fear does not get better with practice. I hope this year will help me get over my fears.
