I seem very shy and quiet at first, until you get to know me. I have been told that on the first look most people think that I am a stuck up, and not very nice. I do not generally waste my time on trying to change people’s opinions of me; if they are around me more they will find that I am not that bad. They realize that what they took for rudeness was actually just me being shy and trying not to offend them or something. It also seems to irk people that I do not talk more unless I know you well. I am more of a listener and go by the rule that if you do not have anything to say and the person does not seem interested in what you do have to say, do not say anything, nice or otherwise. As for my being female, I do not know what to think about that really. I am not very girly, except for those few times when I want to feel “prettyâ€. Clothes, makeup, hair styles, those things are farthest from my mind most of the time. I like Tae Kwon Do and dancing, especially Latin. I have no way to explain how I view myself. I just, am. I have my own dreams, desires and wishes that I would like to fulfilled in the near future. I would like to get married and have children someday but even if I do not, there are enough people in this world that want to do those things. I am me. I am Terry; my culture has shaped who I am, for good and for bad. I battle some stereotypes and try to be different. I try not to judge others before I know them but I do sometime :(. I am neither perfect, nor do I try to be. Although I do not fight, I still learn and I listen to what is going on around me. I am ignorant, but the fact that I know I am, has set me on the path to unveil my eyes.;)
