now, I must start off this entry by saying, I am normally a very happy and good natured person. But today, is really just not one of those days. Today is a day to remind you that you are single (if you are.) Maybe I’m a little bitter becuase I found out the guy I was dating, was cheating on me. (this happened about 4 days before christmas. happy holidays kelly!) He shall remain nameless. So this evening when I go out with all of us scorned singles, I am going to wear black. (that is soooo cynical.) Ill be much better tommorow I promise. And I am still convinced that chivalry is not dead. I am allowed to be cranky today. Anywho, I would like to wish everyone a happy valentine’s day, because everyone does have love in their life somewhere!! We couldn’t survive without it!
So back to my journey. It is Sophomore year at Depew High School. It has taken me quite some time adjust. And I am slowly starting to let some people in again, start to build some real relationships. These are the people that brought me back to being myself. My outgoing, smiling bubbly self. THat went away for a long time. I started to get involved at school, I joined the track team, I was cast in the school musical, I joined clubs. I put myself out there and the results were great! My coach always pushed me and my teammates to never settle, always taking it the next level. My english teachers thought I had a knack for writing, Journalism crossed my mind as a possible career choice. I checked out schools like Bonaventure and didn’t see a fit. My social studies teachers inspired me to maybe become a teacher. My phys. ed teacher really inspired me to get into Phys. Ed.
FLASH FORWARD TO MAY OF 2003
I have a month left of school, and still havent been accepted to ANY college. I applied to SUNY Brockport, Cortland and Fredonia. BURN! I must be honest and tell you that Math is not a strong point for me. And it was quite evident on my ACT and SAT scores. (oops) But thats another thing I am not a fan of! Those tests, are just how well you can take THAT test. And its timed. Stuff on the SATs and ACTs is not what college is all about! And on top of not being accepted into college, I also don’t have a direction. I am really heading towards Phys Ed. but Journalism is still in the back of mind……
So guess where I end up…..ECC! (and remember how I said I didn’t find something that fit me, ECC was that pair of jeans I was looking for)
Talk to you soon….
Kelly
