Carla was the name chosen for my parents� firstborn child on July 8, 1985. I am told that I fit into my father�s hand, but by the looks of me now, I would have to have a picture to prove it. Through my short life of sixteen years, I have realized the important things in life verses the trivial obstacles that I encounter. Family, school, and goals remain my foundation for living.
Although I prayed many a night for a baby brother or sister, my wish was never granted. I am the only child of my family, and at this point I wish to remain the only child. My parents devote their lives to the necessities and wants of their �Pumpkin� [me]. My grandparents find enough love to share among the many grandchildren. Whenever I need to get away, my two cats and dog fulfill the void of loneliness.
Presently, I attend Marlboro County High School. I am a varsity Bulldog cheerleader and actively liven the spectators. GO DAWGS! Also I am involved in many academic organizations. Vice presidency of the Beta Club, member of the Principal�s Advisory Council, and �A� Honor Roll student are several titles given to me. Hard work pays off in the end.
Throughout my life I have always believed in setting high goals and exceeding my expectations. I truly believe through God all things are possible. My future plans are to attend the University of South Carolina, major in Economics and Business Administration, and proceed into Law school. I must remained focused and keep my eye on the finish line.
In everything I do, I try my best. My parents have never asked for more than my best, so in return I have tried to obey their command. In the future, I might encounter new people, places, or opinions, but I will always remain Carla. |
