Salutations!

I guess that, because Courtney Stewart has already posted about me, I have to follow in her footsteps.  Also, I've been at work, so I'm rushing this first post.  Shame on me.
Courtney, my twin sister, is a wonderful individual.  Over the years (about four, I would say), we have grown apart.  I have not decided if that's a good thing or not, but it is not something that I regret.  Without her, I would not be here today.  We've lived through stupid decisions, but we help one another.  I will always be here for you, Mouse. I love you.

On a more independent note, I have not decided what I will do with my life.  I'm trying to convince myself to stay in school, because I know that it is the right decision, but jeez, so many years of schooling up ahead!  In a perfect world, I will become a nurse, and find a wonderful person to take to London with me, but, the world is not a perfect place.  So, until then, I will definitely finish my two years at OTC.  However, I have no idea what I will focus on.  My attention seems to gravitate towards moving out of Missouri.

I enjoy reading and writing.  I thought that I had given both pleasures up once I hit my sophomore year in high school.  Why?  Because I hated almost everything about that place.  Apparently, if you're a reader, or writer, you're destined to be an outcast.  The students made me feel that way, but I disregarded their comments, and decided to talk to my English teacher that following year.  Mrs. Willis.  She changed my life.  She encouraged me to follow my dreams and passions.  I still think of her each time I put a pencil/pen to paper as I'm pondering the next line in my poem.  Or when I read the books she gave me.  I will be forever thankful of her.
