BECOMING ME
As far as I could
remember, I had always been a talkative person. As a child my aunt gave me a
nick name, “Shunbor” (A kind of pepper that smells from afar or something). I
noticed it was a negative nickname and I decided to SHUT UP. I would sit down
quietly when any visitor comes to our house and they would all comment on the
fact that I was a very quiet child. My siblings and Mum would laugh as if to
say “, if you really know her, you will know she’s pretending.”
I did that
for years, except that it was difficult. It was difficult to hear something
interesting being discussed and not plunge in with my opinion. It was VERY HARD
TO BE QUIET.
