The personality of a...
Although embarassing, I admit that I was a really stupid kid. And no, I'm not trying to be modest, either; I really was. I don't think I
had much of a brain back then; I just followed others and listened to what they said whether it was right or wrong. I was prejudice,
racist, self-centered...just plain stupid -- not with academics, that is...but with everything else around me.
That being said, this is where I have to thank school for shaping me up a lot. From middle school and up, I think I've learned to be
more open-minded, considerate, and less selfish. An overall better person, I hope. Though I can get my weird, ill-tempered mood swings,
often; which I'm sure my family will be happy to vouch for. Some of my friends have told me that I have a hot temper and lack of patience.
But, then some others have said that I'm nice and funny.
I guess one clear, "negative," trait of mines is my tendency to swear; usually
when I'm ranting. But I like to think I'm a good person when it all comes down to it.

How long can you last in school?
Although school has the benefits of learning and keeping you busy, I'm not overly fond of it, no offense. Homework usually gets on my
nerves...till I start doing it. Then, sometimes, I actually do find some of my homework to be rather fun to do. Sounds ironic, doesn't
it? And since middle school, I'm still a helpless procrastinator; clearly not a good combination. Despite that, though, I've managed
to keep my wits about and got by in high school with an overall MPA of around 3.5 (out of 4.0). Lucky me.
As for college...I guess I've done pretty well for my first year. Most of the classes I took had good teachers that were pretty nice
and most helpful to me. Currently, my cumulative GPA stands at about 3.7/4.0; I've taken and passed 8 courses and obtained 35 credits.
For the future, I'm planning to major in secondary education, though I have yet to decide in exactly what area. Not math, not science, but
maybe Japanese; we'll see. I might consider a minor in computers, too, if possible. But I'm definitely going to obtain my Bachelor's Degree,
and maybe go for my Master's Degree, too. It depends...if I want to suffer that much longer in school, I guess.

As I live in this society...
My family and I aren't necessarily picture perfect. On a normal basis we do get along well, so long as there's no talk
about bills, work, and school (don't ask). It's complicated... So I'll just say that we're a family
with our ups and downs.
Friends...well...they're important to me. But in my case, it's actually been easier to lose them than to keep
them. From elementary to middle then high school, I lost a lot of friends once graduating from each school level. I always happened to
be going to the school that's NOT the same as where 96% of my other friends were going. Exchanging emails and/or phone numbers didn't
last long, either.
A majority of my high school friends have also moved on to different colleges...but I can still manage to remain in some
contact with a few of them. So I'm very happy with that, to say the least. I know I'm not really outgoing or a "social butterly,"
but that doesn't mean I want to be a total loner, either.
Online friends have been much easier to keep in touch with and really...hold on to. No offense to my school friends. But
I guess this is where the internet gets one of its thumbs up. My online friends are especially important to me since the internet
has helped me keep in touch with them as long and as much as possible. Quite longer than school has been doing, so far.
