'Have you ever faced this problem before where you try to make friends,but no one wants to be friended with you?' that was my question to the audience.
Dixon is my characters name. So let me turn into my character and let me tell you a story and problem of mine.
Dixon is my name. Have you ever try to make friends but no one wants to be friends with you? I'm having that problem right now,as well with my family.
It all started when my parents got the green card to work here in Malaysia from United States. My parents were not worried about me staying here alone with my aunts and uncles therefore they decided to bring me along to Malaysia. It's kind of hard to let go the feeling of missing your home and being transferred to a new home.
When we started our lives in Malaysia,my parents told me that I should continue my studies. I agreed with them and they put me into a government school where I totally understand why am I there due to my family financial status.
I was so excited to attend my first day of school in Malaysia because this is my first time studying abroad! I have the thinking of the students here will be good,friendly but I was WRONG! None of them were kind nor good. When my foot stepped into the classroom, students became the mocking bird and mocked me by calling me 'Foreigner, Loser, American Kiddo!' I got so fed up with it and I just feel like pulling a gun,put it to my head,and fire it! But,that's when I wake up and realize it's not worth it.
I continued with my life in school and holding my temper,trying to control it before me going on "rampage" mode. I sort of felt God heard my prayers, He gave me friends. At last,I'm not alone. Although my friends are bad,but they were like brothers to me here we do everything together,back each other up, and I felt like I have a new family here.
Luck was not by my side one day, I got caught by an authority for vandalizing and skipping school. They sent me straight to my school,and my Principal came down and took me up to his office. He called my parents down to school,and discussed the matter. Before he called,he told me 'I never expect you to be like one of them. You are a disappointment to me and to the school.'
My parents came to the office with a stomping giant feet sound,and begged my Principal for not stopping me schooling. I felt so guilty hearing and looking my parents kneeling down on the floor,begging. My leg stumbled and I felt of falling down; tearing as well. My dad told me with my mom crying 'YOU ARE A TOTAL DISGRACE TO ME AND THE FAMILY!' I tears down with my head looking down. My dad told me 'I DON'T HAVE YOU AS MY SON! GET OUT FROM THE HOUSE!'
Now I'm all alone, feeling guilty. Finally, I understand what I've done,I know my mistakes. I can't live without you mom and dad. Now I kneel before you,begging for your forgiveness. Mom dad,forgive me what I've done to you both and the family. All I want now is you to accept me back,as your son.
So that's my story! But i summarizes it into a 2 minutes speech for my public speaking! When I got the videos, I will post up here!
