I'm eighteen years old and almost out of my small house in New York City. I have a random family that requires more patience than I can find on most days. I "label" (for the lack of better words) myself Trinidadian and Christian. But you won't hear an accent in my voice or hear me screaming JESUS IS THE WAY! every time you do something stupid.
I can be the nicest or rudest person you'll ever meet- it all depends on what you bring to the table and the mood I was already in. I am genuine and I can be too blunt at times but I believe in the truth, it's all we have.
I am going to be attending Colby College in Maine for the next four years of my life on scholarship. Perhaps majoring in English with a double minor of Education and Creative Writing to pursue my two dreams in life to teach High School and write a novel or three.
I want to run away to California when I can stand on my own two feet. I want to make a difference in the lives of everyone I touch. I want to always change for the better and find a place in the world that suits me. I listen to music that most consider depressing but it is beautiful (seriously). I am a little over achiever and I can drive you crazy when I am going crazy over my grades. I don't think I'm smart but I know I work hard. I am strict on myself because if I want to get far, education is the only thing that will take me there. I have common sense but I dumb myself down a lot. I don't know why and I do it intentionally but it is indeed an odd habit.
I love my friends but I don't take people seriously anymore. As we all go through the process of finding out who we are it is necessary to take everything with stride and an open mind. I have a good group of kids I spent high school with who help me keep my chin up and serve as complete confidants. My childhood friends can be found in my church and we share an unbreakable bond. My best friend is named Tina and lives not too far from me and even though we have to work hard to make time for each other there is no one else whose friendship I value more. I love the Lord with all my heart and I live to serve him, but you may not be able to tell this by looking at me. Bad habits must be a-broken. ;)
