i recently had my sweet sixteen. this was a birthday that is always special in a young persons life and one birthday that they will always remember. haha i even wore a tiara! it was my night, and i wanted to enjoy every minute of it. i finally got my car fixed up and now i can drive. i have more freedom than i have ever had before. but i have promised myself that i will stay true to myself and not abuse that freedom. i want my parents to trust me and so far in my life, they always have. i refuse to give them a reason not to trust me. i love my parents and i always want to be close and honest with them. my sister is away at college and that is really hard right now. every time she comes home and leaves again it is like part of me is ripped out and goes with her. dont get me wrong, my sister and i fight. but we all make up and things really changed when she went to college. we are now closer than we have ever been. i love her to death and miss her each and every day. my little brother brings light into my life. i cant believe he is about to be nine years old. he is getting so big and i love him more and more every day. he has such a free spirit and he really loves everything about his life. of course, sometimes he gets himself in to trouble, but with the love from our family he grows and learns from mistakes. we all learn from our mistakes. small or big. right now i am at a time in my life where i want to experience life through my little brothers eyes. i want to have a free spirit. in my drama class this year we talked about how actors are like little kids playing. they dont ever care who is watching..they are going to go about their business anyways. i want to live my life without caring what anybody thinks about me. God is the only one that matters. my true friends will not judge me by the material possessions i have. as long as i love everyone, i don't see myself getting in to any trouble. "LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."
