Something new :)

I cut all of my hair off earlier this week I have never had it this short but I love it!  We have the rough draft due monday which I need to do, I have so much school work and it can be very overwhelming but I am working two jobs on top of going to school! I wish everyone luck with their rough drafts!

reminiscing

This was my right before my senior year of high school started, I cheered all four years and loved every second of it.......okay well not maybe every second, but pretty close to it.  My team was absolutely wonderful and this group of ladies is like a family to me.  From friday night games to early and sometimes late competition days we stuck by each other and supported one another.  I am in the front and center and in the row with me were my fellow senior cheerleaders.  It is so sad to think this is all over with, but I still will go and support Thomas Dale Cheerleading (TDC), and of course wish them the best.

This was my lovely stunt group last year these three girls helped me so much and made everything so funny at practice, we all got very close and I miss them so much! We would always have sleepovers before competitions, go out to eat every friday night before football games, and were just a very funny stunt group.  

This trophy was probably the most rewarding thing all season, as TDC we work very hard in the off season to prepare for all of our competitions, for me districts was the biggest competition to ever compete in because of the factor of rivalry from other local schools, to win this trophy my senior year along with my sophomore year was such an honor and I could't have asked for a better year with this wonderful team!

How my journey began

I guess this should be an introductory blog... I've never done this before so I don't know where to begin.  This is my first semester at bland, being a freshman again is different, but it is nothing like high school, which definitely is not a bad thing.  I love the way classes are here, you can pick and choose your schedule and make it when it is convenient for each individual person here.  It is more individual work for you to do on your own time which will take some time getting used to, but the experience is great.  A little about myself, since I could walk I started to dance, I danced for ten years and loved it but when I was in kindergarten I wanted to cheer.  I have done that since kindergarten and continued with it through middle and high school.  I just graduated from Thomas Dale High School this past year and as much as I love college I miss it, especially cheering.  Although I do not currently cheer I do still tumble and keep up with all of my skills.  I am also a big gym person, I am constantly at American Family Fitness even if it is only for thirty minutes I still make a point to go.  I keep a tight schedule and am very busy between being a full time student, working two jobs, and personal daily problems I hardly have time to myself let alone other people.  To some people that may not sound fun, but I absolutely love it, I love staying busy and always having something to do.  I have two younger sisters one is a junior in high school, and the other is in third grade this year, they both keep me smiling every day.  My dad owns Vincenzo's Italian Restaurant in Colonial Heights and my mom owns Pilo Arts Hair Salon in Colonial Heights as well, both are very successful and I love them both for providing everything they have for my sisters and I both WITHOUT a college degree which is a blessing in itself.  My father is one of the most successful men I know considering he dropped out of high school at age 14 to work at his dads pizzeria although he did go back and get his GED he is so lucky that we have a successful business that provides for us.  I am the first person ever on both sides of my family to attend college, so not only is this something completely new to me, but to my family as well.  This just pushes me even more to finish and accomplish my goals.  A little more about me, hm let's see, I have found that I am constantly changing my mind and am battling myself most of the time (I hope that is with everybody at this age though). I change my career choice almost everyday I am very not really shy but I am not the most outgoing either, and when I am in an uncomfortable situation I won't be the first to speak up, but I won't be the last either.  I love music and am a tad bit obsessed with Drake, but then I switch genres and love Ed Sheeran just as much.  I can't really describe myself in words, that is probably one of my weaknesses I love writing in every other way though, my senior year in high school 4 out of my 7 classes were very writing intensive, I had of course english, two journalism classes, and one creative writing class.  I was an editor for journalism at my high school and through all my four years spent all of my time doing some kind of writing.  Enough about me though, sorry for the boring first blog post about my life but I guess we all have to start somewhere right?
