General Overview- In high school, I was a good student with decent grades. Well, I ended up graduating with a 3.49 GPA anyway. I was really smart, but got bored easily. I was always good to go, except for when it came to math. It didn't help that my high school math teachers consisted of a non-english speaking "construction worker" (or at least that's what he told us), a biology teacher (who couldn't even do the warm-ups correctly), and two more who basically gave us all A's for doing nothing. I have a learning disorder known as ADHD. (I personally consider it to be more of a life disorder than just a learning disorder.) I was on medication and was doing well. Thanks to the medication, I was also able to lose a considerable amount of weight. (yay!) I always had a problem with depression, but it was always manageable. At the start of my senior year, I started to become more lost and scared about the future. I stopped taking my ADHD medication (why? I have no idea). As a result, my grades had severely declined, and I even failed a class which was a first for me. I also gained a lot of weight back (uggggh!). This is when my life took a turn for the worse. I had always had self-confidence issues, and they gradually started getting worse. I also had a fair amount of family issues, which were magnified by the fact that I was an only child, therefore the only one to absorb the issues. I graduated high school with the plans of attending a well-known University in the fall. I went to my freshman orientation, and started to get really excited. Then, all of the sudden, I got scared (I guess), and changed my mind. I withdrew my acceptance, and went to a community college in my area instead. Because my life's issues had snowballed at that point, I didn't do very well to say the least. I was unhappy and gave up on school and basically stopped caring. I thought that maybe this wasn't right for me, so I decided to pursue my interests in the beauty industry and enrolled in a prestigious cosmetology school. My weight was at an all time high, and my self-esteem at an all time low. (Not the best idea for a protege of the beauty and fashion industry). While I was doing very well, I was really struggling internally. That, plus a series of unfortunate events eventually led to me dropping out. (yes, technically that would make me a beauty school drop out.) And for the most part, that is where i am now.
This is it for my first post, but BELIEVE ME- I have much more to share! So thanks for checking out my blog and come back to hear some more!
