I am 18, I have five siblings and a nephew, I like art, I like to travel and try new things, I play sports, and more.
Life As I See It
Since I have not updated in a while, I’d like to say how much has changed. I went from having a house, a bed, a huge family that cared, and having all of my own stuff to having nothing.
It was all over within a couple of days. Beaten and kicked out with nothing but what I had on. I lost everything. My home, my bed, my belongings, and pretty much all of my family. My family pretty much has always turned their heads and flat out called me a liar about everything. The only thing that kept me going was my siblings, all five of them.
Thanks to the people, some of whom I don’t know, I now have my life some what together. Despite what statistics say, I will not drop out. I am finishing high school (3rd in my class) and continuing to college next year.
Through all of this it is sad to say that my patience is better, my stress level is not so high, and I am more confident because I am no longer getting put down or allowing people to get to me. I finally am able to have a relationship with my dad who I have not seen or spoken to for almost seven years. The best thing is that I am set on what I want to do with my life.
Just got home from Spain today. I took some pretty awesome pictures while touring and enjoying the county for the first time.
Leaving for Spain in less than 24 hours. I can’t wait to leave. I get a vacation, time to think, and time to explore everything new. I never thought that this could come out of moving so much. Everything free, but lunch for the next ten days. Who wouldn’t go?!
I leave for Spain in five days for a ten day tour. I have never went on a trip before where I really see no point in coming back. I mean I know I have to come back. But it’s strange leaving knowing no one will miss you while your gone. At least I can block thoughts out of my head and enjoy the time away. Hopefully this time away changes things for me and other people.
I’ve pretty much decided on my school and I’m ready to go. It took a while looking for a school I got that gut feeling from, but I like and so Lock Haven, Here I come.
I think everyone questions themselves at one point. But probably not to this extent. I question everything I am. I’m trying to decide what is important and what I want, but I feel oddly like something is holding me back. I don’t know what it is, but I feel like I can’t live with it anymore. So my new goal is to find whatever it is and get rid of it.
The seriousness of us too is slightly none existent. I would definitely say that the more time we spend together the less serious we get. Everyday we laugh together, or at each other. I can only wish that I will meet someone like her when I go to college next year.
Applied to five different colleges; Bridgewater College, West Chester University, Lock Haven University, University of Delaware, and La Salle. I have been accepted to three, two of which are in my top three (Lock Haven and La Salle). Bridgewater and La Salle are willing to pay about half of my tuiton. I could possibly turn it all down just for an acceptance to the University of Delaware. My hopes are up for UD. At least we all know I’ll be going somewhere positive with my life, and to some place I will like more than where I am right now.
My inspiration and my favorite person in the world, my cousin David. Throughout life he has found his way. It doesn’t matter what was put in his way. He gives me hope and he has inspired me to open my eyes and focus on the good in life instead of the bad. He finds his way with music and God, as I find my way with sports and education. Hope to see you soon, Dave.
