Socializing agent

I think the biggest socializing agent that has shaped me has been my peers. I went to a private school for the first three years of highschool. I was only one of two kids that went there from my grade school. All the other kids that went there had been planning on going there for a long time. All of the kids had known eachother for years because they had all gone to private grade school together and I came from a public one. Since they were all very close I felt like an outsider. This shaped me into more of a quiet kid. I think that if I went to Stevenson for all four years I would be more comfortable and louder in classes because I would have been with people I knew and liked. I think the people iv been around have had the most influence on who I am.
