I grew up as a solitary child, I was much more intelligent than children my age. I wouldn't talk to kids my age, but preferred to have intelligent conversations with adults. My mom says that they were kind of freaked out by a 5 year old talking intellectually to them. I have a sister who can be found around my account,
. When I reached middle school, I got bullied for a whole year. My friend whom I had made in 1st grade tried to file complaints to the counselor, but they never answered. I was then sent to PeachFord when my mom found a letter by me that had suicide mentioned in it. She later found out from my friend that I had been bullied in school. I didn't know this at the time. I spent a week in there, but when my insurance changed, they decided that they didn't want to invest in keeping me there, so they kicked me out. I then got double penomia and it destroyed my lungs, which I had to build up again. In seventh grade, I didn't want to go to school at all. I also got taken to a back room by my friends mom and she spit in my face and forced me to apologize to my friend for standing up for myself. That event in specific erased all of my self-esteem. I had a lot more friends who used me, now that I look back. I flourished in homeshool and I would probably have finished all of my education by now if my mom kept me in it. She said that I should keep going to school because I was socially weak. I had no voice, and now still barely do. I would wait kindly for my turn that never came. My freshman year in highschool was definitely a new thing. The doors to opportunity were open. I was separated from my life line friend, but then I met
who changed my life and encouraged me to open up from my closed shell. I joined MARCHING Band and I fell in love. I play the baritone on the field and trombone in concert band. My Band teacher also helped teach me how to be confident in what I do and that changed me for the better. I got more and more confident in myself and here I am now. I am a Senior in highschool and I have a GPA of 3.75. I don't even try to get good grades, they just happen. I have a family of band nerds and I am in the Graphic Design Business. I don't know if I would call myself a professional yet, but I am not your average Joe. Considering I just made history not only for my school, but the world. I joined Indoor Winds And Percussion because I felt that this was something that would help me out a lot. It did, my band won second in the world in class A! After that trip, I came back a different person. Not long after I got my first job as a tutor, I was asked to be an intern at a brand new sign company. I, of course, complied. I had some experience in the Graphics side of the business already and I was going to learn more about the application of the designs as well. After two weeks of interning, my skills in the programs, hard work, and speed convinced my boss to hire me! I was shocked at first, but after that, I realized how skilled and talented I was. I was hired for 10 an hour, which sure beats 7.25 at my first job. After much debate and trials that I have proven to myself, my boss, and my co-worker, I finally realized that I am a professional graphic designer. I went through a lot of fecal matter to find that out, and it is so much easier to work now that I know where I am in graphic design, like a light had been turned on in a pitch black room. I have worked hard at being the best I can be, even in times of hardship. This came where I found myself as the only employee of the sign shop. Everything is slowly expanding, so just give me some time.
