About Me

Hi I'm Jen. I'm a junior at Mayfield High School. Half the day I am at Beachwood High School because I am in Excel Tech in the Hospitality and Food Service program. I HATE mornings with a passion, if you call me and wake me up that will ruin my whole day. Also if you call me before noon and wake me up I have been known to flip out on you including swearing violently then hanging up and not remembering it all. I have over slept for work, except i was supposed to be at work at 3 pm and i woke up at 3:15 and I'm not even making that up. I'm addicted to music. Now I know that everyone says they love music and music equals life but I actually like mean that. I probley know the most about rock music from 1960 on out of any body you know. I don't watch that much tv any more because I just listen to music all day and when i do watch tv most of the time it is something music related. I listen to a lot of indie rock, ska, and 90's alternative bands that are one hit wonders but i fell in love with all there music. I am the only person you will ever meet that has never gotten anything below a c EXCEPT for 8th grade health which i got a low d (thanks Monostero). I HATE phony people with a passion, if you don't like me don't act like you like me. I am the president of Teen Institute. I was on the 2006 County T.I. Youth Staff and I was on Youth Staff at State T.I. 2007 and URTI 2008 Youth Staff. So yep I'm drug, alcohol and tobacco free. I like to write and I am very good at it, but I can't spell to save my life. I have been painting on canvas with acrylic paint ever since 4th grade and my ultimate goal as an artist is to do album covers and concert posters for bands. I have done some concert poster for some big name bands including The Hush Sound and Unwritten Law. I would like to be a Social Worker who works with drug addiction when I'm older. If you have any questions just send me a message, I’m a pretty open book.
