However, I think that since the things that have happened in my life have made me the person I am today, it is important that I include it on my website.
Sooooo.... Where to start
Well I am now in University, but getting here was an uphill battle.... I dropped out of school when I was 13 and I left home. For 5 years, I lived with my boyfriend (Bruce), and our millions of pets. I am not a idle person, so I started studying Scotish history. Now I can tell you about various families, and wars, especially in the 18th cenury, and if I can't remember I have it recorded in one of the many books I made out containing the info, but that didn't keep my attention for long.
I started taking correspondance courses, I had decided that I should get my high school diploma atleast. Well for a year I did that. Then due to circumstances that only my closest friends know about, I left Bruce and moved back home. Of which I am surprised I was able to do. You see when I left home I was the most rotten kid, by the time I came back I was quiet, and pretty much scared of everything including my own shadow. (Well I have outgrown that haven't I lol)
When I move back home my mom made it clear that I wasn't going to be sitting at home and doing nothing. She gave me a clear ultimatum....either go and find a job or go to school. Well I chose to do both. Getting into school was a hastle, you see, since I had been out of school for so many years, they didn't tust me to be around other students. Well after much fighting, the school placed me in an alternative program.....yeah with people who had been to juvi, and pregnant girls. Yeah....anyway. After that semester, my mom threatened the principle of my home school to let me in or she would file a complaint with the school board. Thank god I had her in my corner....so he let me in the school.
Well you see when I left school I left right after grade 8 so I didn't even have my grade 9 credits. I was in and out of that school in 3 1/2 years witht the help of night school. Well I graduated with High B average.....79.83%... Not bad for a Jr.High drop out, who was also working 5 nights a week.
Well I then had to apply to University, and I got accepted to all that I applied to. So I chose York. Now I am in my first year of University, already trying to figure out how I can get through it as fast as possible, planning on taking summer courses.
Well thats the gist of it. Those of you who know me already know the part pertaining to Bruce. All I can say that it is a miracle I turned out like I have, but to be honest, I wouldn't be the person I am today if I had not gone through what I have. If you have any doubts, ask my mom what a brat I was when I left home, compared to what I came back as. The only negative thing that stands out because of my past is my spelling. I really can't explain it, I read so much that you would think that I would know how to spell words properly...but no....oh well not everyone can be perfect ;)
