When you think about your life you see the truth that no else sees or knows. Whereas when someone else who knows you through school, work, and who doesn’t know everything about you sees you as this perfect person. I know I was that kid growing up, but for me is was more of the girl who just didn’t fit in and picked on.

That is true though, I didn’t fit in and I was bullied. Growing up my nickname was sharky because my nose is big and I guess it looks like a shark fin. I was a very upbeat bubbly child. I was also a very big hearted child. I always made sure to be kind to people even if they weren’t to me until I got beat up for being nice. Yes, you read that correctly. I got physically beat up in the hallway for trying to be nice and pick up a kids phone after he dropped it.

It didn’t just stop there, I was shoved into lockers, I was told to kill myself, I had rumors spread around about me, and I got threats. I don’t know what I did to my classmates to make them dislike me so much. I was always nice to everyone.

There was a point where I just didn’t want to be nice anymore. I thought, why be nice to the people who make me so miserable everyday for their own satisfaction? But then I’d remember that, that’s not what my grandpa would’ve wanted me to do. That’s not how him, and my parents raised me. So I put a smile on my face and kept being nice.

I am from a small school where my graduating class was the biggest one with 165 students graduating, but it didn’t mean they all knew me and my life story. Kind of like now in college, none of you guys know my story and what I’ve been through in my life. You only know the me in school, thats the reason for this idea for my project, to help people understand not only my story but other peoples stories as well instead of just what you see them as.

As these post go on you will get more of a glimps into my life and who I am and what I’ve been through. No, this isn’t for attention or pitty or anything like that at all. This is so you guys get to know the real me and how I became the person I am today.
