Who am I?

Who am I? Is this not a question that we answer every year for each of our teachers? It simply is just something they like to give out on the first day of school because it’s easy. Do you think they ever actually read them?  If they did don’t you think they would question some of your answers or talk to you about it? These are all the thoughts that come to my head when I receive one of those sheets as homework. But the real question is do we really know who we are? We know ourselves better than anyone else, but have you discovered yourself yet and who you want to be in this world. Our likes and dislikes attribute to who we are but don’t always justify us. At this time in our lives we are testing the waters with many things and molding ourselves into what society thinks we should be.

                I would like to think that I have already “found myself” yet other people still like to think they know my life better than they know their own.  This past year has been an eye opener to me with multiple situations.  I am not perfect nor do I think that I am trying to reach perfection. I have issues just like the rest of us, but in some cases they are a bit more extreme. My main issue deals with wanting someone to love.  In this past year I have been molded and tossed around with my emotions. One of my best friends has been with me through it all and has helped me the most on trying to become a better person. It’s tough to hear, “You are acting like a spoiled bitch.” But at least someone told me and wants me to get out of that bad habit. I’m lucky to have special people around me who are looking out for my best interest.  This doesn’t come as a surprise to me at times though as sometimes I have an unfiltered mouth. It gets me in trouble and I don’t realize it until after it has happened.

                If you are looking for the generic who are you type answers here is a brief summary. I have played volleyball since the 5^th grade and absolutely love the sport. Kennedy volleyball has been one of the best experiences throughout high school. My freshman year I got moved up to the sophomore team with two of my friends. Coming in as a freshman already having 20 sophomore friends was a nice cushion. Last year was my first year on varsity with the same group of girls that started me off my first year of volleyball. I knew that I wasn’t going to get to play since we had such a stacked team of college level players, but the experience was like no other. My friend and I who got pulled up together made it a party on the bench; always found a way to lighten up the mood. This is my senior year and I’m fighting for everything. The season has started off shaky but we will pull through.

                I also played softball, but decided to quit this year to go make some money for college. I now work at Lava as a hostess and at Dairy Queen. I enjoy both of my jobs, except when I have to work on nights where I have a lot of homework. I enjoy school when it doesn’t stress me out to the max. I am taking some challenging courses and am even enrolled at Coe College. I am looking forward to my senior year and am not leaving with any regrets behind.

                My blog is going to be about my unfiltered thoughts on different situations. I like to say what other people are thinking. Most are too scared to open their mouths and do something about it. Not me J(653)
