HiHihihihihihi In case you're wondering I really did just go through all the fonts before deciding with one to use.
Well, anyways, Hello. Welcome to my blog. If you are reading this you are now officialy awesome.That's right I'm talking abotu you, you're awesome. You wanna know why you're awesome? Because you're taking the time out of your busy life to read whatever is currently going through my mind. This makes you awesome, don't question it, just roll with it.
Anyways I am a 14 year old girl and am I currently a freshmen at Franklin High School. Now I bet you're wondering why I'm telling you this. Well it all has to do with why you are here in the first place. This is how it started:
About 2 months ago when I started high school my mom told me that I'm going to have a very unique high school experience, and I should really start a blog about it. Well 2 months later I have realized that my mom is very right. And why is my high school experience so very different from everyone elses? Well, it's simple. I'm white. And why is that important, well Franklin is in South Seattle. South Seattle as maybe you know or maybe you don't is where all the gang issues are, and it's much more diverse than the northend, and there's a lot more poverty. Thing is Franklin is in the South end so my school is at least 80% asian. There are three other white students in most of my classes. So you see, I'm different from them. Really different. And most people never see this sort of thing.
SO now lets go beyond the skin color, we can start with my hair, i have bright blue streaks, and when they fade they turn green. I'm taller than most of my classmates, and generally stronger. I'm a competitive soccer player, and this year as a freshmen I made the varsity team. We may have lost every singe game but i think that was mostly coaches fault. Anyways I went to Washington Middle school, and all of my friends from their went to Garfield high school, I didn't get in. I live to far south. So now every morning I walk over a mile to Franklin.
So this year I started with just a few friends. And well, it's been tough.
If you ask me my classes are to easy. My classmates have me pinned down as the smart white girl. And they've all recognized that when it's time for a debate my side is going to win because i can argue better than any of them. Two of my teachers have told me to look into Franklins nationaly recognized mock trial team, i'm currently trying to get involved in that. I'm also in the only preforming music group at franklin, the Quaker band. We are 36 members strong, five of which are girls, trust me that makes when we're stuck together for hours on end for various reasons very interesting. Anyways, I play the flute for most of the music because there are only 4 of us, and one is just learning, but I play by beloved tenor saxophone on the jazz peices.
Outside of school I try to do a lot of volunteer work, I like going back to Kimball elementary where i graduated from about 3 years ago or so. I also do a lot of babysitting and have become a beloved older person for a lot of little kids. You see, I never really grew up, mentally. I mean yeah I'm smart and stuff but I still think hide n' go seek is like the best invention ever after dinosaur shaped chiken nuggets. And my friends depend on me for my innocence and sense of humor. I tend to get distracted and off topic easily, and I'm pretty sure I have a little ADD or ADHD but I don't really know. But lots of people think i'm pretty hilarious for some reason.
That brings me to someone who's on my mind a lot. That would be my boyfriend. Technically thats what he is, but we're a very disfunctional couple. We now go to different schools, he never bothers to call, and thanks to my lack of patience we're having quite a few issues right now. I kept meaning to break up wiht him but then one day he randomly tells me while I'm right in the middle of trying to win a uno game against a seven year old girl that he loves me. It make sthe whoel mess very complicated and very annoying for someone like me.
So welcome to my world, my life.
That's all i feel like telling you for now, but i do hope you come back and read again, I am a writer at heart so sometimes maybe you'll find my writing sounds a little poetic somedays. depends on my mood really. I hope you'll keep reading because I've always thought it would be cool to have random people i don't know reading about me, thinking about me, and relating to my problems, and possibly offering the advice that my friends never seem to have because at 14 no one else knows what it's like to be the only white kid or have someone you don't exactly love tell you they love you.
So thanks for reading. :)
