I didn't know, just how crazy it would be. Academically, it did get frustrating. The homework I hated most... But i was expecting impossible, so it wasn't unsurvivable Web 2.0 Tools-Prezi, google docs weebly, mail Microsoft office tools-Publisher, word, PowerPoint windows movie maker and photostory Effective communication via email and chat Useing scanners and printers simple trouble shooting Using online newsources or school I'm am creating this storybook as part of something called BASE Project. Eighth grade shadow day, the first thing someone said to me, was a question. "Why are you so smiley" At the time this question seemed ridiculous to me, why wouldn't i be. Why would you not want to take every moment of your life and make it a happy one? So I answered with a smile, shrug of my shoulders "Do i need a reason?" Another question, "What grade are you in?" "8th" "Ohh......" and with that she walked away and i never saw her again. I wanted to go against every stereotype, I wanted to prove something to myself. I'm still trying. Not to be defined by the crowd around me. I'm myself, just me. Not a freshmen, tom boy, girly girl, geek, popular, jock, crazy teen.... I'm just me. So, i like football, basketball, plays, shakespear, ballet, music of all kinds. I love wearing dresses and heels but i also love ripped pants, ripped shirts, wild colored hair dye, black leather boots, tennies, tank tops, sun dresses, short shorts, jeans, work boots.... i could go on forever, well not literally but hey, i like most styles I've come across. A kid in a candy store, how to pick? For me the answers easy. Don't! so what stereo type am I? Weirdo, i think is the closest i think anyone's ever come. Why is that a bad thing? Exactly! It isn't. High school, Happy then sad then angry at the world then the feeling that i'm barely hanging on, metaphor- in the dark hanging above pit certain death waiting for me at the bottom, the only thing holding me up my sore hands clinging to barb wire, hope and my refusal to give up was my last reserve of strength, then i was just waiting for the end knowing i could make it but too tired to keep up an act. Now I'm here the worlds not easy or fair and I'm just pushing to get my future and to make the best of every day i get. So if you can take something away from this just know, "you only live life once, so live it to the fullest." - unknown My Story Book I was born 1:01pm, April 9th, 1997. It's been a little while sense then, i'm in high school now. I've watched the world change and grow, its hard to believe i've only been alive for 15 years. Life has been lets say "interesting" so far. I have been hurt i have felt joy. The main causes of these feelings would have to be the people around me, the people I would do anything to protect "from others and myself" no matter how much they hurt me. At the moment life is crazy. Pushing past unruly hormones, i'm just trying to build my future.
