Princess Charming

I would like to think of myself as a hero motivated by love due to the fact that I love my friends very much. The subject of moving has been brought up in my household many times and the first thing that comes to mind every time is my friends. I feel that I would miss them to much if I ever were to leave. My friends are what's keeping me here.

Drama Queen Quest

I am on an on going quest to achieve my goal of becoming an actress. I have been acting for as long as I can remeber. Before I thought I was just crazy until I grew older and figured out why the fact was that I could never sit through an entire film without memorizing the lines of a certain character. I understand that it is my parent's job to steer me in direction of a more promising career but acting is what really makes me happy. I try to picture myself being the doctor they want me to be but it's hard to imagine. I know that they will support me in what ever I decide to do. I have been taking acting class for the past 2 years. I just plan to keep taking my classes and growing more and more at what I do until my time comes.

Mommy Dearest

My archetypal mentor in life is my "Mom" Shannon. She is the lady that taught me right from wrong as a child. I didn't get into much trouble when I was younger but when I did my mom always fixed it before it spiraled into something else. When I was about 5 or 6 years old I stole a Barbie Diary from K-mart. I didn't get far with though, when my mom and I got back to the car she realized what I was hiding under my shirt and brought me back into the store to apologize to the manager. But that was not it when we got home I could not even get through the door before she started "wooping" my behind. Yes at the time it hurt but now I look back see that I deserved every slap I got. If my mom didn't expect more from me I probably would not be the person I am today.

"Don't take it so hard"

My threshold guardian has always been the fact that I do not take constructive criticism very well. I am the type of person that doesn't like being told what to do or that what I do is not good enough. This bad quality I have is always getting in my way. It holds me back from being the best I can be. There have been times where it has gotten in my way. Like when I played softball, if I struck out my coach would tell all the things I did wrong. I felt like he was "ganging" up on me because I didn't hit the ball, but all he was trying to do was give me advice so I could be better the next ime.

Disapointment

My shadow is disappointment. Every time I get my hopes up about something it usually caves in. It doesn't matter what it is, once I start getting excited about it most likely doesn't happen. Because of this happening I rarely get worked up over anything anymore. I've taught myself suppress it all inside, no matter back I want to run around the house doing cartwheels.

Silly Rabbit Trix are for Kids

The trickster in my life is my cousin Joy. No matter where we are or what we're doing she can always find a way to make me laugh. We've been bestfriends since birth literally, she was actually at the hospital when I was born. We've been stuck like glue ever since. I remember on our everyday drives home from school we would sit in the trunk of the car just so we could make funny faces at the person in the car behind us. Most of my childhood memories include her, few don't. She's more than just a friend she's family.

Jordan Who?

After moving to Mesquite from New Orleans due to Hurricane Katrina I didn't tell any of my friends back home where I went. They of course knew that I didn't live in New Orleans anymore, but they didn't know exactly where I was. I am one person when I'm there and another person when I'm here. Because I haven't been back in a while I'm able to be the person I was when I once lived there. My friends back home are completely different than me friends here and I act differently with them. When I'm in New Orleans with my friends I feel at home therefore I am more comfortable. I can be my naturally goofy, loud self. With my friends in Mesquite I feel a little more out of place so I tend be more reserved.

My Spidey Sense is Tingling

I'd like to think of my "gut" feeling as a supernatural power. When ever something doesn't feel right or something doesn't sit right with me that's when I know things aren't the way they need to be in my life. I often get this feeling with people. Usually I'll meet a person for the first turn and if I get a churning feeling in pit of my stomach I know that they are no good, and they shouldn't be the type of person I should have in my life.

Baptisim

My baptism marked the point in my life when I grew closer to God. Everybody I knew had already been baptized and taken their first communion, while there I was 6 years old and I hadn't yet. My mom would tell me that when the time was right I would know. One night I was in my bedroom watching television when I heard someone calling my name, I ran to my mom and said "Did you call me?" she said no so I wentn back to my room thinking "Wow that was weird". I heard the same voice and ran to my mom and asked he again "Did you call me?" Again and again she said no and to go back to my room. Finally after I heard the voice another time and ran to my mom she told me that the next time I heard it to ask out loud "Lord I am here". I later realized that this was a story in the Bible of a young boy named Samuel. It was then that she knew I was ready to be baptized and begin a true relationship with God.

Dunk Time

The day of my baptism I didn't really know what was happening or what to expect. I was so scared because at the time I was deathly after of water and I knew that my pastor would to dunk me in the pool. I afraid that I wouldn't come back up and I would drown. It was my turn to be dunked, every step I took made my heart beat harder and harder, faster and faster. By the time I got up to him and he finished dunking me in the water I didn't even understand why I was so scared in the first place. All of family congradulated me on my decision and the rest of day was a big party.

BFFL: Best Friends for Life

I have alot of loyal band companions including my friend Nandasia and my cousin Joy who are just a couple, but my best friend's name is Nancy. We've been friends since 7th grade. I love her like my own sister and if anyone messes with her she knows that I would have her back in a heart beat. Nothing is ever going to break us apart we are too close stuck together.
