    There were so many students, I honestly did not know who to be friends with and who not to be friends with. As the first week of school passed I quickly found out who you do not want to be friends with unless you wanted to get in trouble. A few weeks into the first nine weeks of school, there was a girl ( who happens to be my best friend now) and she was reading Harry Potter which I happened to be reading as well.

    Throughout my childhood, adults frequently questioned me on whether or not I fit the stereotype of the only child. I have been asked if I was spoiled and bossy more times than I can count.

I regularly did not listen to any of the tasks authority figures asked me to do, and instead I would stare at them and continue to do whatever I wanted.…

    The point where I realized I was no longer a kid, was when my mother made me pay for everything I desired. Until that moment, I thought I would always have support from my mother, she got me everything I asked for, especially when I most deserved it. As I got older, asking for things had become more difficult. I realized that I was expected to work hard for what I want, not have it handed to me. It was time for me to do things on my own, and though I knew it would be difficult, I also knew it would help me in the long run.…
