| Essentially, I hated Jr. High School. No, really, I hated it. Enough that it made me extremely derpressed. I am still feeling the effects of that depression to this day. I don't have self-confidence, or the great a sense of self-worth. I can also be very insecure about my appearances and actions. You see, I have changed schools every couple years or so. I went to a local elementary school for 1-3 grades. Then I attended a magnet school for the district for 4-6 grades. I went to the district's jr. high school for 7-8 grade. Then I went to a Jesuit all male high school for 9-12. That changing of schools early on left me with only a few really good friends. When I hit jr. high, they just left me behind for other friends. And some of the people I called friends in grade school made fun of me in jr. high school. Thats not to say that people hated me. I knew everyone. I just had no friends. I did nothing outside of school. I sat at home after school and on the weekends. My only other activities were recreational soccer and my youth group. If it weren't for Phi Lambda Pi, my community youth group, I would not be the person I am today; in fact, I might not even be here at all today. That youth group gave me a place where I could be myself and not worry about others making fun of me or not liking me; they just accepted me as I was and liked me for it. I just to say thank you to everyone there... Kim, Shawn, Kenny, Jenny, and even you John and Allison. Because of my jr. high experience, I decided to transfer out of the district.That was probably the best decision of my life. There, I was able to find friends who were like me and also not like me. Not only that, but they accepted me. I will always love them for that. So, right now, I want to give a shout out to all my home skillets from the ALC. You know who you are. Ok, update to the present 2/9/02. I'm actually pretty happy. I love the community at wotmania.com. Through that site I have met some great people. Right now I want to thank Erin and Andy for all their help, I don't think I would be happy today if it weren't for you two kicking me in the ass and telling me that I'm wrong. OK, on the school front I am doing decently. I like my classes and the times which they are at. I only have a couple of friends here, but oh well, thats not the begin all-end all. I have a radio show that I love. I love listening to music and talking about it, so this provides me the perfect place to do that. Thats bout it. Weeeee, update to the info page. It is now the 25th of June and here's the skivvy. I took a semester off from Wash U because I hated it there after 3 semesters of it getting worse with every passing week. I am now at home and have been working for the past 4 months or so. I am transferring to the University of Cincinnati and have broken up with Erin because of the damn distance. And so, that is me up to now. Joy. |
