I've kept this paper clip attached to my agenda book for a week of my sophomore year. My sophomore year has taught me more than anyone can fathom. I've gained precious, priceless relationships with different people, lost relationships with people, and realized who I really am as a person.
The most recent relationship is with -----------. I honestly never saw myself talking to her. Until one day, between passing periods she got me to hold a scorpion. Me! Seriously! And in this short time of growing closer to me, I've gained an irreplaceable person. I can trust her with absolutely anything. That really means a lot.
One relationship I lost is with my Aunt ------ in August. She lost a three year battle to ovarian cancer. I never got to tell her how much I loved her and the things I loved about her. She really taught me what love was without having to say, "I love you." Her and my uncle owned a house on Kentucky Lake. Before we would come visit she would always make sure she had my favorite cereal there ready for me on the days we would wake up early. The other thing I remember about her is the wigs she had to wear from chemotherapy. Every time she would see me after she got the wigs she would always play with my hair telling me not to take one thing for granted. Not even taking the time to fix your hair every morning.
Overall, this school year has just taught me to be myself. Tacky, I know. But...I've always tried to hide who I really am. Fear of being judged and not being "liked." Stupid, I know. Everyday I would put on a fake face. I would stay after school to talk to ----------- trying to solve problems I had I couldn't solve on my own. There's nothing I could ever do to repay ----------- for helping me, and I hope she knows that. But anyway...my life is mine. I only get one. Gotta make some changes.
