Changes

So for those of you who haven't noticed, I'm changing.

I'm starting college (which I love by the way), and this is a chance for me to introduce the 'new me', to people who I've never met. FABULOUS!!! It's getting...better, especially since in my public speech class we were supposed to do a 3-5 minute speech about our self! Boy was that hard! I'm not used to telling people about myself, especially since I don't fancy myself an exciting person. But they loved it! (weirdos...)

But I've always been into writing: stories, poetry, even a little bit of lyrics (although not very well). It's in my blood. My great-grandfather has pads of papers that he's written poems on (he was big on poetry). My grandmother (his daughter) wrote stories (and still does!), although we are not published. for each child born, my dad wrote a poem for them. The first time I read mine, I cried.

On paper, we have a way with words. Speaking, it doesn't work out so well. I am often left stuttering (especially with people I don't know). But what can I say? I can't help it.

So, here's to a new me! I am on my way to my career, on my way to a brighter future. Yes, I will go out there and KNOCK. THEM. DEAD.

  1. You are going to be fabulous! You already are, but now they will get to see it too. I loved college life as a young single adult. I sort of miss those days.

    And sometimes, my mother WISHES I wasn't comfortable telling people ALL about me. hehehe.
