I am a human being that is just trying to get through the next few adolescent years of my life. I am about to enter the dreaded high school. I will admit that middle school sucked, and I will also admit that I have been looking forward to high school since 5th grade, but now that the time is getting nearer, I have never been so afraid.
I guess that I am just afraid of progress. I am a teen who is a writer, a singer, a baker, an actress. I have no idea how I want to live my life after high school. Possible colleges? NYU. That's at the top of my prefered colleges list. Down towards the bottom of my top ten? Towson. My parents attended Towson and I don't want to go where my parents went ;)
I write short stories and poetry. I am in the middle of working on a novella at the moment though called Imperfection. I have a few novel/novellas that I started but never got around to finishing.
My heros are Helen Keller, J. K. Rowling, and my mother.
I first heard of Helen Keller when I had an assignment to make a bottle person (2 liter soda bottle body with a head) out of someone we admired. I was in the 4th grade. I read a biography about Helen and decided to make a bottle person of her. I remember yelling at my dad when he came home with small styrofoam heads instead of the bigger ones. She was the first blind and deaf woman to ever graduate from a regular college. She even learned how to talk. She is a huge inspiration to me.
J. K. Rowling is the author of the Harry Potter books. The Harry Potter series was a very large part of my childhood. I have all of the books, including her biography and The Tales of Beetle the Bard. She is my favorite fantasy writer. I personally prefer writing realistic fiction but I love her books. I am very upset about the movies coming to an end with just the 7th movie left. 2- parts, but still one story. I will most likely cry at the last one. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were part of my own special world of magic and I wish I could thank J. K. herself personally for writing such exquisite literature.
My mom, just like most moms, is the most influencial person in my life. She is always there for me when I need her most. She is my best friend, someone I can always talk to or complain to when I need to most. I love her very much and I am, I guess you could say abnormally, close to my mom. I say abnormally because most of the kids that go to my school don't ever talk to their parents. I, on the other hand, am very close to both of my parents.
So there ya have it. My short 6 paragraph autobiography. Ta-da! :) It is my plan to post every day or so. I think it's a good idea for adults to understand children and the only way to do this is to hear it from a child herself. That is my main purpose. That, and the fact that here I can complain as much as I want and no one can tell me to shut up or quit squwaking :)
Enjoy my life, my dedicated readers!
