My role model would have to be my mom. My mother started with nothing in a difficult life situation and made it to where she is now. She would do anything for her children and has one of the biggest hearts I know. My mom lives her own life and doesn’t focus on talking about others. Not only is she my mother but she is my best friend. She inspires me to do my best, even my friends go to her for advice. We’ve gone through many hardships as a family, things that could truly break a family apart. Then there is my dearing mother to keep us all together. Though sometimes I question her actions I know she has the right intentions. My mom is my role model, as I hope that one day someone sees me the way I see her. Yes, there are times where there is chaos but she has never given up. She has taught me the meaning of persevering. Looking back at everything she’s overcome helps me push harder because if she got through that, I can get through anything. I will never forget everything she’s done for me, I want to make all her hard work count. Not only in being successful but so she can see how the way she raised me truly helped me grow as a person. To mature and learn to be kind to all, to not judge, and to keep going.

Section 9: Inner AnimalFrom the experience of owning 5+ cats at one time, I can say that cats are very lazy creatures. They can sleep for hours a day, sometimes they aren’t even sleeping they just close their eyes and relax. I’m not saying I’m lazy but I am a homebody. When I am free I like spending my time relaxing, I also need 7+ hours of sleep to function correctly. Though cats are lazy they randomly get bursts of energy. They start running around and jumping everywhere. This happens to me. I can be in a very tired or lazy mood but then randomly I wanna get up and do something. Whether it be Productive work like homework/housework or time for me to have fun like hanging out with friends, going out to dinner, or going bowling. Cats are also very attentive animals. They notice the little things. I feel like I’m that way also I feel like I pay attention to small details or remember things that others don’t. I would consider myself to be smart in some ways, which is another trait cats have. Like most animals, cats are curious creatures, although they mind their own business and aren’t crazy about others. Similar to me like I like meeting new people and being informed of things but I also rather kind my own business and stay out of the drama. Lastly, many people say they don’t like cats, but once they own a cat or someone they know owns a cat they change their mind (I was one of those people). You can’t know how a cat is until you own a cat. I’m not saying many people don’t like me, but I think that many people don’t know the real me until they truly make the effort to get to know me

Wake me up- Avicci
Feeling my way through the darkness Guided by a beating heart I can't tell where the journey will end But I know where to start They tell me I'm too young to understand They say I'm caught up in a dream Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes Well that's fine by me So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself, and I Didn't know I was lost So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself, and I Didn't know I was lost I tried carrying the weight of the world But I only have two hands Hope I get the chance to travel the world But I don't have any plans Wish that I could stay forever this young Not afraid to close my eyes Life's a game made for everyone And love is a prize So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself, and I Didn't know I was lost So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself, and I I didn't know I was lost I didn't know I was lost |
I'll start by talking about the lines I feel relate to me and how I am feeling sometimes. "Feeling my way through the darkness. Guided by a beating heart. I can't tell where the journey will end But I know where to start.” I like how this song begins. I think it explains how I feel sometimes where even when I am struggling I keep going and I don't know where that's going to lead but I know it starts by not giving up. The next line is “They tell me I'm too young to understand. They say I'm caught up in a dream.” I have experienced this many times when someone says I'm too young to understand something. I would say I'm wise beyond my years so even though some might think I'm too young, I understand fine. I am a dreamer though I think realistically I always have that bit of hope that something will happen. The mentality does help me accomplish big goals. The chorus of this song says “So wake me up when it's all over. When I'm wiser and I'm older. All this time I was finding myself, and I didn't know I was lost” Sometimes I do feel like this. I get caught up in emotions and I just want to escape it all. To fall asleep and skip to the parts where I'm older and can better control what happens in my life. All my life I grew up with the same people, the same hobbies, and goals. Having my entire life planned out and what would make me happy. Recently I discovered that a lot of the stuff I was doing were for other people or truly aren't things that were making me happy. I've began to focus more on myself and finding peace with where I'm at. Next is “I tried carrying the weight of the world But I only have two hands.”I tried doing all the things I could and on top of it helped others do what they were responsible for. I was taking on too much, keeping my emotions and stress to myself. Eventually, I could not balance it all and took a fall. I realized I could only do so much. I am one person and if I pushed myself too far I would have a breaking point. “Hope I get the chance to travel the world. But I don't have any plans. This line I like because like I said I used to have my life all planned out but so much has changed and I'm not sure what I want to do in my future and I'm slowly figuring everything out. Lastly “Life's a game made for everyone And love is a prize” Life honestly feels like a game. There are good times you when you “win'' and bad times when you “lose” but in between those games, I get a prize. That prize is those who make me happy. The people I create amazing memories with and have been with me through the journey.

I’ve known Kylee for a couple of years now. We met in elementary school and instantly got along. When she told me she wanted to apply for leadership I was excited for her. Watching her grow as a leader these last two years in the program has been great. It was tough for all of us to adjust to the year. All of the events hit the sophomore class during one-time frame but they still pulled through. They had an incredible president leading them through it. Though I know they had rough patches, they communicated and worked through their issues. I’m so proud of Kylee for all that she has accomplished, which makes me excited for what the future holds for her. She is a wise individual who tries her best to keep a positive attitude. Even when she is busy and has a lot on her plate she still makes time to help others or to check in on how they are doing. She’s a ray of sunshine who lights up everyone’s day with her contiguous laugh.

A lot of my pictures are of people. But each picture represents something different. One represents my family and the time that I love spending with them. Whether it be karaoke, campfires, or waking up at 5 in the morning to watch the sunset on my roof, being with them brings me a lot of joy. One of the other pictures represents my friends and supporting one another. Going to watch them play soccer, going to a store as a huge group, giving them all rides have made incredible memories. The next picture is of volleyball. Volleyball has always been part of my life. I grew up playing this sport. Even if I was on a team or just played for fun with friends or family it always will be something I love to do. Music is also a huge part of my life, writing and playing the piano is something I also grew up doing. There is still much improvement to be made; it's something I plan on keeping in my life. Another picture I added was of my kittens. Rescuing animals is something I've recently become passionate about. Giving them a safe place to live and watching them happy in a new home warms my heart. I also added a picture of my sisters. The people I probably spend most of my time with. Car rides, study nights, or just casual spilling tea are moments I will always cherish. Lastly, God, my religion is something I sometimes struggle with when questioning things in my life but always come back and bring some peace within me. I value Praying the rosary and singing with my family.
