I am.. an individual.
I am.. Moving on with life.
I will.. Never forget what
I'm leaving behind.
I will never forget the memories that I have had with my great friends, and I will never forget those who have impacted my life in someway. Now, It's time I move on. Those who are real friends, will stay true. I don't doubt that for one second.
The Most important things to me are...
Love ♥,
Family,
Friends,
Career and Education,
Business,
and my Independence.
My Flaws are...
I fall in love too easily,
I'm hurt easily,
I am a procrastinator,
I expect too much from people,
and I trust people too easily...
....Work
I believe in working to accomplish your goals, and I don't like things given to me. I like to work for them. I've had a job since I've been 13. I started out as a Certified Umpire for the Duluth Youth Softball Association. As part of the senior project in high school, I was required to get an internship. I got one at Clear Channel Radio, which owns Mix 108, Kool 101.7, B105, and The Fan and I absolutely love it! I got promoted to the Front Desk, but that was only a temp job, because I had to start up college and an 8-5 job doesn't work so well with college. I have been on air a few times, but I was there from a business side. But instead of leaving all together,now, I help out at all the station events that I can. Like I just did Boo @ the Zoo, A Grandma’s Sports Garden Remote, a Women’s Expo, etc.
My first real job was at McDonald's (in Proctor)! I started out as a crew person, and I was in Managment training when I was 17. Then I became a Certified manager when I was 18. Contrary to popular belief, its not really a bad job. I’ve met a lot of my closest friends from that job. I learned a lot from that job, and I gained a lot of experience. However after about three and a half years, I moved on. I needed a change. I started out as a shift manager at Arby's in Cloquet, but I am not a Second Assistant Manager. Then I was part of the opening management at the brand new Arby's in Kenwood. We broke national records at that store and I got to be part of history. I was there for almost eleven months, now I got transfered to West Duluth. I'm learning new things thing, and meeting some awesome people. :)
High School & College
I attended Duluth Denfeld High School, and I was very involved in it. I loved Denfeld. I was proud to graduate with my class of 300+. I was Chapter President of Denfeld's DECA, and I took first in my event in all of Minnesota, so i went to Dallas 4/28/06 through 5/3/06. It was so much fun! As nerdy as it is, I was also computer club president. I was also part of a five person committee overlooking the Senior Pilot Project last year! We created a $1500 patio!
I'm just starting my second year at the University of Minnesota - Duluth, and I absolutely love everything about it! My first year was rough, but I pulled through it, and everything is better now. I am doing a double major in Accounting and Business Administration (focus on organizational management) I love the atmosphere and it’s a great school. I love my classes and I love the new friends I’m meeting!
Friends
I really do love all of my friends! They’ve always been there for me! I really thank God for my closest friends. They mean the whole world to me.
Jen, you have always been there. We may not talk, or be very off and on, but I know you will always be there. I know you will stay true. I know distance will not change anything between us. Joe, even though you are my brother, I consider you one of my best friends. I've been there since your birth, and you have been there for most of my life. I will never let you go out of my life, and I promise I will always be there for you. Cherie, I am going to miss you deeply. You are one of the few good people out there. You have such a large heart, and you wear it on you sleeve. I know we will stay in touch. Even if we don't talk for a month, I know everything will be okay. Cynthia, all the memories came back when you showed me the old photos. I miss being close, and I remember all the great times. I never want to lose touch. Mallory, even though I haven't known you that long.. I know you found a place in my heart. I love all of the random things we do together. And those nerd glasses. And our random walk to Canal Park. I love it. Pauli, we've practically been besties since second grade. Please, lets never the distance separate us. I will miss all of the beach tanning. Melody, I wish you the best of luck at work. I think you will go far at work, and in life in general. You are wonderful, and don't let anyone else tell you differently.
Being Gay...
It took me almost to the end of my 10th grade year, to finally act on my instincts of being gay. I've always known I was gay, since about 6th grade. I was always too afraid to come out, or even tell anyone about it. It is a long story, but my parents found out that I was gay on 2-19-05. They hard a very hard time accepting it, but they are okay with it now. It wasn't until my senior year in high school, that I decided to come out. I started telling a few friends here and there, and each time I'd tell someone new, I'd get a little less nervous. Then, by the end of my senior year, I took my boyfriend at the time to my senior prom, and had the best night of my life. We did the grand march, and I wasn't sure how my school, and its parents would react. I went to high school with 1500 students, at least a few would give me problems, right? I was wrong. The grand march was formal, and there was no hooting, cheering, or whatnot for any of the couples. Well, when it was my time to go out and walk, I grabbed my boyfriends hand, and walked out in front of 1,000 people.. everyone cheered us on. I was in shock; It was a good feeling. From that moment on, I have not, and am not afraid of who I am. I will hold a boy's hand in public and take a nice romantic walk. No one will hold me back from expressing who I truely am. I would still be in the closet if it wasn't for the support of all my friends. I truely thank them.
My Favorite Lyrics ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
On my knees, I’ll ask
Last chance for one last dance
‘Cause with you, I’d withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I’d give it all
I’d give for us
Give anything but I won’t give up
‘Cause you know,
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you’ll be with me
and you’ll never go
Stop breathing if
I don’t see you anymore
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
♠ ♠ ♠ ♠ ♠ ♠ ♠
Please don't mind what I'm trying to say 'cause I'm, I'm being honest
When I tell you that you
You're part of the reason I'm so set on the rest of my life
Being a part of you
You tell me what you think about being open,
About being honest with yourself
'Cause things will never be the same.
So I guess I'll see you, I'll see you around
I'm spinning while I'm falling down
Now you know why I'm begging you to stay.
