====I am not just an everyday typical teenager. Okay... maybe I am, but everyone is different, their own type of different. Some people consider themselves a great athlete, an optimist writer, an amazing photographer, a jaw dropping sculptor, but me on the other hand... what am I? I am a 9th grader at Foothill Technology High school. "Well yeah, but everyone knows that!" Maybe you did. But did you know that my name is Miriam, I am a drawer, a painter, a blogger, a video game addict, a clothes designer, a cat lover, possibly a ninja.. I tend to get to places quicker than I expect, it’s just a reflex now. I didn't think so. Let's just say that because of what I do, I know more people online than I do in real life.==== ====Now let’s get personal. I currently have several goals, academically, for my freshman year and beyond. Some may include being on time to every single class. Yes, I like learning. Also, I’d like to avoid being yelled at throughout my 4 years here at Foothill. One can only hope for the best. I forgot to mention, I procrastinate a lot. It’s just a habit, but I'd like to fix that if possible. For many years I have planned numerous goals, but for the first time I’m actually writing them down. Surprise? Not only do I procrastinate at times, but I am also the quietest kid in all my classes. Is there a class I can take for shyness so that I will finally feel comfortable knowing I'm not the only one? I mean that'd be great.==== ====This specific year in my freshman year and beyond, I would like to keep in touch with my dearest friends while making new ones. Even though I only have like 4 friends. I would love the idea of setting a goal that can help me get closer to my old friends and keep in touch, especially with my friend Giancarlo. Unfortunately, he lives 7 miles away from where I live and it’s been hard to just text and call each other every day. He has just been the biggest help I could ever ask for. He's magnificent. Also, one of my goals is to be more socially interacted with others in a positive way. I would like to hang out with my older brother more often, maybe go long boarding or backpacking one day. I think the experience of making new friends shall be fun. Just the fact that I know that I will try to interact with classmates and get rid of my shyness will definitely do me great.==== ====Family is important right? Well, whether you think it is or not… It is! Anyways, my family is one of those odd ones. You see, when I decide to make a decision for myself and my future, I bet you that the only thing that runs through their mind is,“ no no no no no no no not at all, I’m not letting that happen, um especially not that.” For them it’s always the negativity first! It’s like their minds are just rotten. And let me just tell you, they are THE BEST at winning arguments. They can secretly be judges for all I know! They’d make perfect lawyers. For my freshman year and beyond goals, I would like to be able to communicate more. Not arguing, because believe me they can go on for hours, but for just simply anything. I’d also like to get to know them more. Isn’t it sad, I know nothing about my family? Nothing I tell you! I’d like for them to be able to trust me, to notice that I care for them. For them to be able to tell me the oddest things that happened to them that day. Whether they overcooked an egg for breakfast, or the time they ended up not drinking water out of a drinking fountain because the water got all over their shirt and felt way too embarrassed to walk back. Just anything. All I want to gain from them is trust and support in anything and everything.==== ====As you can probably figure by now, I’m not a very athletic person. Although I am not sporty, there’s always time for a game of basketball and a chance of running. In my future, hopefully soon, I plan to gain self-motivation that can help me become athletic. Not only that, but I’d like to try out for the Ventura Highs girls basketball team and track. IF my laziness slowly fades away, I’d like to participate more in physical activities. Hopefully before I take one last glance at the candy store and decide to go obese. Yes, that can totally happen. Well this is it, the end of my speech. The moment you’ve all been waiting for right? I’m just glad I don’t have to talk to this camera anymore…====
