Well... let's see...

My best friend is Carly (queencroutonian), and my sister is Ellen (Ayan), so check out their poems!

I'm a senior in high school.
I love music. I play the violin. I have played for 9 years. I also play the viola. I hate when people ask me to stop playing music, especially when it's just to change my classes in school.
I speak some French. I skipped French 1 in high school and went straight to French 2. I've completed French 4 now and I'm glad to be rid of it. Don't get me wrong, the language is great. My teacher on the other hand needs to shove it. I don't believe there are words to express how much I really hate her.
I love swimming and tennis. I pretty much love sports in general.

I hate when people push their religion on me. I find it interesting to learn what others believe in, but do not tell me that I need to change what I believe or that what I believe is wrong. I know what I believe and you are not going to change that, just as I won't try to change what you believe.
I hate school counselors. Whether they believe it or not, the are not always right and sometimes they need to actually listen to what I have to say, especially when it comes to my education. I have a plan for what I need to do to get into college and they need to respect that. Pretty much, they just need to get over themselves.
