By the end of my first semester, I was really . It seemed as if everyone had made friends and was having fun, except me. So I had a（n） . I started asking people around me how they were doing, and if they were having trouble, I would to help. That was really a big step for me. By the end of the year, I had several new friends, and two of are still my best friends today.
A bigger cause of my new , however, came when I took a part-time job at a Vista Nursing Home. One old lady there who was badly ill became my . Every time I came into her room, she was so because she thought I was her daughter. Her real daughter never her, so I took her place. She let me that making others feel good make me feel good, too. When she died, I was , but I was very grateful（感激的）to her.
