Imma Share My life With all of you, Don’t Judge though -.- My life was pretty normal before high school. I went to Fesler Junior high school, played sports, and loved hanging out with friends. High school changed a lot of things. I used to get suspended from school all the time and I never really cared about school, but I realized I had to get my act together. I had way more homework in Jr. High than I do now which is pretty cool. But in high school you actually have to do everything if you want to succeed because these four years of our lives determines what were gonna do in the future. The most important person in my life would have to be my Girlfriend Liana. She kind of gave me a reality check about school and she showed me that to be something in life you gotta work for it. I don’t wanna mess up my life so I listened to her and actually tried in school. And compared to my eighth grade year I did way better as a Freshman! Freshman year ended and I must say that it was the funnest and fastest year of my life! And then came Summer ! 
Summer of 2013, kind of changed my life. I live at home with my Mother, Step Father, and my two Uncles. Oh wait, I forgot. My Girlfriend of 5 years total lives with me as well. Pretty strange, right? I don’t think so. Liana moved in with me right when summer started due to family problems. But I think it’s pretty cool actually. We do everything together and its pretty fun. Every night we would watch movies or play xbox all night long! Every day we’d go to the beach or we’d do something really fun like go outta town and go hiking. Liana, honestly is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me aside from being born. I can honestly say that I do Love her with All my Heart cause she’s my bestfriend. She’s always been there for me and is a true friend. I’d do absolutely anything for her we both have been through a lot together and we may have our differences at times but I truly LOVE her with ALL Mi Corazon<3333333333 But yeah my summer was pretty fun I hung out with my girlfriend, friends, and Family (:
After high school I would like to move out with my girlfriend and get an apartment together and go to the same college and study to become a Homicide Detective. I’d like to become a Homicide Detective because I watch a lot of shows about Detectives and I like trying to solve why and how a person was murdered.
