You are here...

I'm gonna go ahead and do a little timeline of my high school years.

I started in Avon Lake in 6th grade. Thats where the drama started. I was new and all i wanted to do is to be able to fit in. Therefore, I did just that and started hanging out with "the wrong people".

By 7th grade i had completely changed from my tomboy self to this little preppy hollister prima donna. Lets just say that my parents didnt really enjoy the tragic change..

Now onto 8th grade... Well i was just a mess. My mind was in the wrong places and it led me to be just a complete "train wreck".

The downward spiral happened so fast, my parents didnt know how to handle it. so they did it the best way they knew how; by telling me straight up how it really was. The conversation basically consisted of them telling me that the kids in hanging with are bad news and they didnt like the new me. they wanted the old me back. thats all they had to say for me to get the picture of my drastic change. (that i didnt really want in the first place...)

I would really like to post the whole truth about my freshman year on here but that could lead to some people getting very mad.. Not what i need right now. Soo... Lets just say that my frehman year was all about sneaking out of friends house's and hanging out at the park by her house with a HUGE group of people. We would sit out there for HOURRSSS. Go home around 3 AM and go to bed, wake up and do the same thing again with the same people. We did that all year long; even through blizzards and horrible heat.

And now is where it all starts to get better. Sophomore year. I figured that I'd give the new girl Vicky a chance. Turns out that we got along perfectly. She was a little goody goody and thats what i needed to help me get away from my "bad streak". So we were besties for that year; still are actually. Swim season started and i decided to do that and try and put my energy somewhere. Thats where i met Rachel McCann. Now we're one in the same. Literally. We are the best of friends and are insepratable to this day..

Junior year... one word: interesting. I dont really have just one "group" that i hang out with. I'm always talking to everyone i see. I tried to make all my problems go away and now i dont really have problems with anyone and no one has problems with me. (that im aware of). now that ive been through all of this, my parents trust me and all the decisions that i make on my way to success. no matter how much they dont agree they know that i know how to be responsible and not  make bad decisions just to be accepted. because basically i dont really care if you dont like me... so. its really whatever.. 

so thats a shortened version of my life and how i became the way i am now. 

what im trying to express in this post is that it doesnt matter how you were when you were younger, just that you make sure you are the person you want to be.
