All I Am Is Me

who am I? I was born in Alexandria, Lousiana on July 19, 1988. However I have this theory I shouldn't be here. This theory came upon hearing the story about the day I was born. In the process of being born, my abilical cord somehow twisted and got wrapped around my neck which nearly killed me. Then shortly after that joyful experiance a nurse was feeding me and I began to turn blue because I hadn't learned to swallow food just yet. I had to be rushed into emergency care and have the fluid suced out. After the two tramatic events I came to the conclusion that I wasn't supposed to be born or just employees at that hospitol suced! morbid concept I know but an interesting story I think. I have an older brother named Layne and a younger half sister named Selena. My parents have been separated/divorced since I was a todler. So my childhood of being torn between the two. I lived and was raised by my mom most of my life. Until I turned 15 and had to make one of the hardest decisions of my life. My dad wanted me to move in with him. I decided to because of the fact I hardly saw him and wished to establish a relationship. I still look back today and contemplate my decision. I fear that I still hurt my mom when I made that decision and learned that my dad and I are two very different people who only have the same taste in music in common. I was born in Louisana but I have lived here in Warner Robins my entire life.As a kid I moved from house to house and have probably lived at every end of Warner Robins. I attended Miller Elementry from kindergarten until fifth grade. The same school my six-year-old sister goes now.How crazy is that? And I actually am still friends with people I went to that school with. After Miller I attended Bert Rumble Middle School which is now an extension to Warner Robins Highschool Which is where I went to HighSchool. I was a band kid in middle school and half way through high school. I played the clarinet in concert and pep band at football games. I wasn't a very athletic person yet I did run track for a couple of years. I was a long distance runner and did pretty well. I decided to drop it after freshman year at Warner Robins because it became too competitive. Music had aways been a huge interest of mine. It is more of a hobby. I love music and listen to a wide variety of it. I probably own a million cds. My favorite would ave to be rock music. Eighties rock music is the best. I have been to a ton of rock concerts. I have seen many of my favorite artists perform and plan to see many more this summer. I have seen Godsmack, Rob Zombie, Shinedown, Sevendust, Creed, Antiflag,New found glory, floggingmollys, Avenged Sevenfold and others. I couldn't live witout music. It calms me down when Im upset, it lifts your spirit, gives you a since of connection with other. You can listen to a song and say hey I know exactly how that person feels. And the always a song that matches your mood. Music is wonderful and concerts are amazing to go to. Music is a very big part of my life. I am currently engaged to my boyfriend Erik who I have been with since my freshmen year of highschool. He was my highschool sweetheart and is the love of my life.Him and I are very close and share the love of music. We plan on getting married after we're both done with college. We are best friends and I really think we have a good future together despite people who tell us that we are too young. We have everything well planed out and I think it will work out great. My passion is to become a nurse, a RN . I first got interested in the field of nursing by taking a health class in my freshmen year of highschool. I found mysef interested in the different disease and cures. After that class I continued to be interested, so I signed up for a nursing class. In that class I got to learn the basics: First aid, CPR, Patient care and medical abrievations. I enjoyed the class so much I staid in it for the second, third and fourth parts of the class. And I got a chance to intern at the Houston Medical Center, Where I helped with patientcare, got to see two c-section births, five natural births,a colonoscopy, do breathing treatments and a bunch of other stuff. I actually felt like a hospital employee and I loved every minute if it.So I am now attending Macon State College to get my Associates Degree in Nursing.
