The True Start

Hey, this is only post two but I want to seem more comfortable that business-like in my writing, so What's up?! I will start with my first move. When I was 8 years old, my parents split up and my mom, brothers and I all moved 14 hours away from where we were. It was all very confusing and I had no idea why we moved or where we went to. Being young I quickly fell back in the school routine and just continued on with my education. Throughout elementary school, I didn't really have friends. I was very shy and a bit socially awkward. I never really seemed to fit in with the people at school and I often ended up standing on the outside of circles listening to the latest stories. I am also not the thinnest, less so then. I was bullied a lot because I was an easy target, I was small, fat and incapable of standing up for myself. I met this one boy though and he was really nice to me, and I started to like him. A bunch of kids though started singing songs and teasing us for hanging out so much and kept saying we should date and stuff like that. Anyway, one day during Easter break I facebooked him and we were talking and so I asked him out, and he said no. Killed my self-esteem yet it was only grade 6 haha. Then came middle school. I went through grade 7, somewhat worried for my safety, as my teacher was creepy and I caught him looking down my shirt once. I actually found out last year that he got fired for having young porn on his school laptop, awesome eh? Anyways, in grade 8 was when I made my first real Amazing friends Shae, Sabrina and Kelsey (I actually met Kelsey in grade 4 but we didn't become friends until grade 8). They severely improved my life, literally the whole thing. I had someone to walk to school with and hang out with at lunch. In grade 9 I met two more amazing friends, Bailey Ann and Breeann. I am still great friends with all 5 of these people. They all impacted my life and helped remove me from my shell. My all-time favourite teacher I also met in grade 9, I had the pleasure of taking a grade 10 drama class, Mrs. Longely is the most incredible teacher I will ever have. She understands how we are and how we should be at our age levels and she goes along with it, instead of getting frustrated and ornery like other teachers. In grade 10, I had a huge maturity leap. It was like high school was my bridge to confidence. I instantly became more outgoing and confident in myself. The best part of grade 10 was Music Theatre. My high school put on a full length musical every year, that year it happened to be Willy Wonka. I will never be able to put into words how magnificent those 5 months were. If I have any acting talent that is why, if I have grey hair that is also why! The dancing, singing, building, sewing and acting, it was just like Utopia to me! I have said it before, I will say it yet again, it was the best 5 months of my life. I couldn't wait to do it again. Then I found out, I was moving.
