Anyway, I've been writing since I could write.
In second grade, I made a book in class on how I liked to write and I wrote stories for class books that the school had published for us to buy. However, I didn't really get into novels until... fifth grade, I believe? I'm not quite sure myself, but ever since middle school, I have wanted to write and publish a novel. Maybe one day it will happen. 
In seventh grade, however, I learned about my second love: music. Ever since then, I have had to be in choir (except for my junior year when scheduling didn't work out). During the summer of 2009, I bought myself a violin and started teaching myself how to play. It's the first instrument I can truly say I am in completely in love with and have had the patience to stay with. 2009 was also the first year I was able to sing a song by myself in front of a large audience. It was quite thrilling. Apart from singing and violin, I am in love with almost any type of music as long as it is appropriate and fun. Some of my favorites are: Leona Lewis, Paramore, Kelly Clarkson, ChemicalRomance, Lincoln Park, (recently) There for Tomorrow, FlyLeaf, HeyMonday, and so on.
Sophomore year was the first year that we ever had a real pet - or three, to be exact (the evil hamster that we got rid of does not count!). We got two lovely miniature daschunds and a Korean Jindo. By the way, I used to be deathly afraid of dogs. My mother told me I scratched her arm up once trying to get away from a chiuaua.
In second grade I was surfing Barbie.com and came across a career page. My aspirations to be a pediatrician started right then and there, virtual Barbie as my witness and inspiration. Since then my hope to be in the field has grown - though doubts have filled me my senior year - and I've done several things to help myself get into the medical field. With several hours of shadowing at a local clinic, I was able to see more into the nursing job and the clinical atmosphere.
The one thing in my life that I just can't stop worrying about is my future. I do a lot in school to prepare myself: take AP classes (for all four years, I've taken six), join clubs (National Honor Society - I'm secretary!, Health Occupations Students of America, CHAP - I was a founder and historian until it dissipated, the Geography Club), be a part of school organizations (choir, PALS - Peer Assistance and Leadership) and commmunity service, and got a job (at the local theater - 1st and 2nd job!). I plan to attend college this fall and start studying to get a Biomedical Sciences degree. Though I worry, I hope my preparation has been enough. I want to go somewhere in life, and I plan to not just reach for the stars, but shoot past them.
Some interesting facts about me:
~ I have never been in a relationship.
~ I do not curse, even though I am (at the moment) 17. I'm very against doing or saying anything I deem inappropriate for me.
~ I have had a poem published in some sort of poem book.
~ I was (for some odd reason that does still not calculate in my mind) voted Winter Queen (and my partner Winter King) for the first annual Winter Court this year.
~ I love chocolate.
~ I wrote a book with five of my friends before called the Guardians. We hope to rewrite the book and, eventually, publish it.
~ I am actually mean... just in my mind, however.
~ I have some amazing friends.
I'm sorry if I bored you, but it must all be said.
Smiles!
