Presentation Script: **

When I think of myself and the transformation of my personality from freshemen to senior year, I almost feel as if I were several different people. Each year, through my experiences and interests and changing friends, I am a different person. Inherently and on the most basic level, I am the same. Yet it is the details of each year that has defined me. As an entering freshmen, I was a rather excited and maybe over-eager young girl. I loved to draw, read, and daydream all the time. I had a crush on Orlando Bloom and embarrassingly, several anime characters. One of my crushes even had dog ears! (picture of Inuyasha) I was very silly and had a lot of fun with my best friend, Shannon. We were practically inseparable. When I moved onto my sophomore year, I had undergone many trials and ended up very sad. My mother had just finished chemotherapy for breast cancer and we were enduring as best as we could. I had other personal problems that affected my mood and I spent the majority of 10th grade moping. I did, however, find solace in my art and my writings. I ended up writing several stories and a poem that even won a place in a book that year. Because of my recluse behavior in 10th grade, I ended up preferring solitude in 11th grade. I became very quiet, but much happier. I still spent almost all my time with Shannon. And I ended up going to her prom at Cary High! I found a dress for $7 dollars and her mom did our hair and nails. I’m not sure many could say they spent $7 dollars on their prom. I was very happy in my junior year. Senior year has been amazing for me – in both good and bad aspects. I got sick a lot this year and got stuck with a ton of make up work. Though, none of that seemed to matter because I had found someone to love. I know, it’s very cheesy and all, but he makes me very happy. His name is Matt and we went to prom this year. We had tons of fun together and I feel like I’ve regressed to my freshmen personality somewhat: very silly and in love. My life at Green Hope has been full of ups and downs, but I honestly wouldn’t change a thing about it. It has made me who I am today and I am the happiest I have ever been.
