Summer is here and I am closer to graduating (I've got Summer School in July, it's fine, however). This year, as well as most of High School career has been filled with so many disappointments and heartaches, that even the smallest joy brought the biggest smile to my face. So for my reminiscing purposes I've decided to do a recap of my entire High School Career:

9th Grade: Ahh, freshman year. I was still in the same district, which was nice. I was with my friends from 8th grade and I was feeling like I was comfortable in my own skin. I had some good times, and despite my absences, my grades weren't too terrible. Sure, I wasn't eligible for Valedictorian, but I wasn't an underachiever (I was part of the Cartooning Club!). I was with my girl, Shanley and my main homey, Chris, and times were good. Then 2006 rolled around and things started getting heavy. My Uncle, Patrick was struck by a moving car and killed (we still hadn't received justice for that, by the way. Majorly Pissed.). Eventually, the family we started to heal and by the time June came, I was happy to no longer be a lowly freshman. Things were nice.

10th Grade: It was the end of the single digit grades and that meant bigger things. Unfortunately, by September I was no longer at Falls Church, and a new sophomore at North Stafford. (I had broken my foot and had to begin the year on crutches. Fuckmylife) it was a very, very rough time for me. The deaths of both my uncles were beginning to hit me hard. I became very depressed, and suicidal. And with sophomore year came a painful addiction to narcotics. I was going through something very heavy. I was out of school almost every day not only because of my sickness over the narcotics, but my UT infection and dehydration. I was going through something horrible. All of my relationships were suffering immensely due to the events; the most affected was my relationship with my Grandmother. What used to be laughter turned into cruel, harsh words, and broken spirits. Our relationship was never the same, again. Eventually and fortunately, the year ended and I was done with school, but the problems at home would continue.

11th Grade: I was NSHS, and I was still miserable, only to make things worse, we were practically homeless. Desperate for a roof to protect us, we found "shelter" with two of the most miserable human beings on the planet. I was battling school, an addiction, and now we had to wonder whether or not these assholes were going to stop taking advantage of us. They would take the money we'd give them for rent and spend it on themselves (the bastards had kids, I would've understood of they spent the money on THEM because they didn't do shit else for them!). I was admitted into a crisis facility after trying to kill myself, and the first time ("wait, B, there's a second!?" I know, right!?), was terrible, then the second was a bit better, and things were looking up after I had received news that our search for a new roof came to an end when my brother(aka "Daddy") pulled through for us again. I was back in Fairfax County, but my road back to school would not come without hardships. I had to go back to hospital for dehydration and poor health. Eventually, in January of '08, I came to West Springfield and I things were starting to get better....or so I thought.

12th Grade: Senior year was supposed to be the year in which I shined brighter than before. I was in Fairfax County, so things should have been great, but as you've been reading, living this life has been no easy task. I was still suffering with my addiction and I was getting sick again. (I had my first relationship and that wasn’t going too well). I would soon suffer the death of a good friend. I had so many classes, that it was weighing heavy on me, so I had to drop some. I was going through some things, still and life didn't seem that hot at the moment. However, with warmer weather came a new spirit within myself. I was seeing a therapist, who was helping me overcome some demons from my past and present, so I could be able to move on to the future. The secret about my singing voice was out and people couldn’t get enough of it (eventually, it all blew over. Damn I’m using “eventually” too much!). I was coming out of my shell and I was becoming happier with each day.
And now, here we are, present day! Senior year is coming to a close and my life is really beginning from here. I’m hoping that things will only get better from this point, and I wish the best for all of my friends and loved ones. out, RookieBlossom.

P.S: I’m trying to get Photoshop on my new computer and I used up my 30 day trial (all in one hour, which is so fucking stupid! I still don’t get it!). So, I know I’ve said this before, but expect some stuff this summer! I love you all! I’M OUT, SEXY BITCHES! <3 <3

P.P.S Why did this take me so long to submit! I actually wrote this around two,three o' clock. Lmao!! It's not that funny, lol.
