When I isolated myself, I wondered why no one wanted to reach out to me and why everyone had a social life and support network and I didn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I felt like a victim affected by external factors outside of my control.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last year\u2019s lockdown gave me an opportunity to reevaluate my perspective. Through introspection, I realized that if I wanted to end my isolation I had to stop waiting for things to happen. Instead, I had to put in the effort myself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I decided to reach out to build my support and social network. Eventually, I managed to integrate and tackle that abrasive sensation of solitude.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The whole process illustrated the importance of being active rather than passive. If we wait for change to happen without our input, we will be miserable waiting in ambiguity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My desire to be active is what motivated me to become involved at the College and seize every opportunity. If I want to be the best version of myself then I have to fight for it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, we are not in control of everything that happens to us. It&#8217;s important to acknowledge those things outside of our control. Doing so enables us to create realistic expectations of what we can and can\u2019t do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, while we may not control our environment or life circumstances, we can control our responses.
