During my time in Boston, I’ve met a lot of new people. Coming from the small state of RI, I was used to a lot of things. Seeing the same people everyday, going to the Cambodian market to get food, go to work down the street, go to Brown University to hang out with the bboys, etc. Here, it’s so different. I now made new friends, go to Boston University and M.I.T to hang out with the bboys there, eat out a lot. It’s not all fun and games though. I’m not used to going out all the time and I wasn’t used to saying no to people. I’ve definitely learned how to put my foot down. School is a priority of mine, plus I’m paying for my education as well.
It’s nice though. It’s reminds me to keep an open mind and talk to people whenever I get the chance. You’ll never know, some stranger sitting across the room from you might be your best friend in the future if you talk to them.
