Teenagers...

I have come to realize that I am not like most teenagers. My life goal is not go get drunk and party till dawn, or to flirt with everyone who's "worth flirting with" to be "cool". Could someone please define "cool" for me, because I don't see what's cool about all of that stuff. I actually understand why parents don't trust their teenagers. Sometimes parents choose to trust their teens and hope that they don't do anything stupid, and the only thing the teen seem to want to do is exactly what their parents don't want them to do. I guess I just don't understand the concept of being a really teenager, i.e. people who only know how to get and trouble, and only use the part of the brain that doesn't have common sense.

Mom (RIP October 23 2005)

Two years ago today was my mother's last day on earth. Her name was Theresa Marie Kent. It's not that I don't have a mother now, I simply don't one here, in person. I still talk to her from time to time. I ask her to give me special graces. I still vividly remember the day she died. We, the kids, were home alone and the first thing I thought when I heard the news was "I need Dad". It was the longest day of my life, and it has always stuck with me.

Dad

Daddy is an amazing man. He gets up every morning at five, goes to work, comes home, and works with the kids. He is the most hard working, fun loving, amazing father any girl could ask for. At times I am embarrassed of him but that's just one way that he like to tease me (by embarrassing me on purpose)

Life

My life is fairly boring. I wake up every morning, study, get my siblings up, shower, get ready for school, go to school, get a bunch of homework, and go home to to all of that homework. On special occasion I get to go out with my friends and have a good time. The rest of my time is filled with either homework or housework.

Me

The first thing I think I'll do is tell you a little about myself. I am the third oldest of ten children. I am currently being raised by my Dad and, for all it's worth, he is doing an amazing job. My life consists of my family and school, with a little bit of time left for friends. My favorite subject is math because I'm good at it and I understand it. When I graduate I plan to go to college and become a nurse. I forgot to tell you that my mom passed away when I was fourteen, but I don't want you to fell sorry for me. I lead a very good life and I enjoy it. I think the reason that I named my blog "Life...It happens" is because that is what I live by. I think that you shouldn't dwell on what has already happened, because, no matter how many hours you spend wondering what you could have done, you can't change it. All you can really do is pray for God's grace.
