MARiA

Hey, I'm Maria Gasperoni. I'm finally a senior at Mohawk and thank god for that. I'm 5'8 I'm the captain of my cheering squad, volleyball team and our upcoming track team! Basically I go to school to Cheer, play Volleyball and run Track, otherwise I wouldn't go. I plan on going to Casal Aveda Institute next year to get a license in Cosmetology then let my life plan itself from there. I'm taken, by the most amazing guy ever...his name's Travis and I really don't know where I'd be without him. He's definitly my better half and even though i've made mistakes along the way he's been beside me the entire time. It's crazy to think that this "high school crush" soon won't be so anymore because we won't be in high school, I'm amped to find out where my life with him leads to. So I live here in Hillsville, some say it's a shithole and to me, it's just the shit. I love it, and I really don't care what you have to say about it. I'm very blunt and occasionally rude and I like being this way. Though it doesn't stop people from leaving me alone, it helps. People enjoy talking about me, and I usually give them something to talk about. I love the attention. I like being a hardass, and what I love more than that is people telling me that I'm not one. Go ahead and try me. I'm Italian and you can't fool me, I know when you're pretending to be one, that's annoying and a discrimation to all Italians. I'm probably one of the most emotional people you'll ever met, but you'd never guess it. I try not to let the little things get to me, but they do. High school has made me stronger. I've been the apitomy of gossip and sometimes individuals can just be plain rude. I have had a lot of hurtful and rude things done to me and said about me but that's life. I met a psychic who told me that people were always going to be jealous of me, even people who matter the most in my life. I recently had another psychic reading where the women told me the same thing. I'm happy I flatter everyone to the point where they come across as an asshole to me because they are jealous of me. I'm a leader and I always have been, I try to be "myself" but I really don't know who that person is. Don't think you're better than me, because you're not. I have all different kinds of friends but I'm not one to get close with just one person, my "bestfriend" is always a group of people. I hope one day to look back on my life as a teenager and laugh. I hate regrets, it's pointless. I live by "Everything happens for a reason," probably a little too much because in some sense, that line always gets me in trouble. I want to be successful, just like everyone else. I don't plan to live in that perfect world with my children playing in a yard surrounded by a white picket fense and I don't want to live that way. I take a lot for granted. My parents do everything for me, which scares me when it comes to the point of me being on my own. I know everything will fall together.
