celebrations with them. But on a more complex level I value trust more than anything. I am a very trusting person and I often give people the benefit of the doubt but I also believe that once trust has ben broken it can never be repaired. I strive to be trust worthy and surround myself with people who have proven they are also trust worthy. I believe that this value is the reason why I scored in the 63 percentile on The Big Five Personality Test stating that I tend to consider the feelings of others. This value allows me to be compassionate and open to new people and experiences. Although my compassion is a strength of mine, I also consider it a weakness. I sometimes find that I am too trusting or too forgiving to people who don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt. My emotions get in the way of my rational and I have been hurt many times because of it. I think this hinders…

I felt the flood…

Today was the day, the day I have been dreaming about for almost my whole life. I was going to be in the Olympics. I was so nervous, my heart was pounding and my stomach felt queasy. “Julianna, are you ready to compete in the most important competition of your whole gymnastics career?” Asked my coach, Colleen. “I think so…” I replied. I didn’t feel ready. I have been training for fourteen years for this day, but that didn’t feel like enough training for the biggest competition of any gymnast’s…
On National Coming Out Day the rainbow center held an event for students to listen to poetry and other students’ personal experiences with coming out. Walking in I was a little nervous and was not sure what to expect. No one in my family or my close friends have ever dealt with coming out, so this was new to me. Although I was not very knowledgeable about what it is like to come out, I was still interested in learning about what other people have gone through. As I walked in my eyes went first…

in a place called a factory. I don’t know what that is, but it was where I was born. I started out as a sheet of stainless steel. I was put on a metal thing that cut me into a certain shape that made slick. I was then put into a weird, holder thing that was comfortable. I heard it is called a handle? I don’t know. After I was put into the ‘handle,” and was placed in a unworldly place where it was dark. The giants that were making me shut the weird contraption, and the place I was in turned…
