As a young girl I was big headed, strong-willed, brave, courageous, sassy, self-centered, and strong. I protected my sister from everyone and anyone who I thought was a threat. I also was kind, and thoughtful. But I had problems, my parents couldn't understand how I could switch behaviors instantaneously,or how I could get no sleep at all and still be my regular self. Little did we know that due to what happened during my mother's pregnancy I was gravely affected. We found out in second grade that I had some disorder a mixture of ADHD and ADD, so I started taking medication. The medication had many side effects from making me not want to eat to making me angry and tired. In second grade I took medication that made me not want to eat so I only ate every couple of weeks but I was forced. In fifth grade I was down to 59 pounds. I was tall is the tallest kindergartner. Which is to say 4'9" I was all skin and bones, so to fix this problem we added more and more medication. Again the medication we added made me angry ,tired ,and not want to eat.So with all the anger I had from the medications it made me have outbursts and it with that made Ressa scared of me, but now she is less scared of me. I just only reason why I chose this quote to use for high school would be I've gone through some stuff obviously And made me hard to trust people and to date but as to quote John Bon Jovi
"Shot thru the heart and your too late you give love a bad name."
I'm not as emotionally strong as I would like to be I was wounded. I need to be stronger and I will. The help of my peers and family I will be stronger and better than ever!
