I am defined by music, art, my friends and my family. Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin are my favorite artists. To me, their music is what keeps my blood pumping. Jimi covers the walls in my room and fills my cd case, along with others. My dad is the person who introduced me to classic music. When I was younger, my dad and I saw a poster of Jimi Hendrix when he is lighting his guitar on fire. My dad explained to me that he could do things like that because people would just give him guitars. Being young and naive, I thought that was the coolest and I needed to know everything about this guy.My dad is a huge influence in my life. He is probably my best friend. I could tell you everything I like about him but it would take way too long. He's just the best. My older brother is my hero. He is 5 years older than me and has been a role model since I was young. Its really weird because I never liked him that much until this summer. He and I got close and spent a lot of time together. He is a fireman and a paramedic. My younger brother is chaos, but is my best friend. He and I are complete opposites but we're together all the time. And if we're not together then he is usually calling me. Where are you? Who are you with? When are you coming home? Those are his famous questions. He was recently moved to a different school because it was hard for him to cooperate in public school setting. My mom works at school. I usually go and stop by her, but this year I haven't had time. I'm out of school after fifth period. I go right to work and then right to another job. This schedule is really tough on me, but I'm hoping I can keep it up. Anyways, I have to save for a new car. Mine is a piece.

Five months later I am pretty much the same person. My dad is still my best friend. It gets tough this time of year because his job demands him to work many hours plowing snow. My older brother is still my hero. My younger brother and him do not have a great relationship and being in the middle I have a really hard time dealing with it. My older brother wants to better their relationship, however, I'm not sure how that is going to work out. We have a snowmobiling trip planned for the three of us; it should be great bonding time. It's really sad to say but my younger brother and I have drifted apart. I really wish we could be as close as we were because he is a great person. Tomorrow is my last day of school. I feel a lot more mature knowing that I'm out of highschool. There is drama that goes on that I just blows over my head. People in class really start to annoy me because of their immaturity. I hope college will be different. I start at the community college in about two weeks and I'm really nervous. I decided to challenge myself and take honors courses. This way I will still be motivated. I'm still working, however, only one job now. I work four days a week and its perfect. My work is my second home and my second family. My boss is amazing and we are really close. I'm so lucky to have that job. It would be great to pick up more hours but I need the relaxation. Anyways my car is still a piece but I love it. At least I have one, right?!
