I was raised unlike many other 90's babies. My mother was a bright young woman who loved animals nearly as much as her only child. My dad was always funny and upbeat, cracking jokes to lighten moods. My mother had long work hours at what was Edward's and is now GE. When I wasn't at home with my dad, I was helping my great grandmother water her plants or watching my great gandfather make great furniture out of wood. The way I was raised set the mold of who I was to be; a caring, loving girl who tries to help any living thing from a bird with a broken wing to volunteering in a soup kitchen. I was always the kind to stop an smell the flowers.
It wasn't always animals and flowers though. When my parents divorced in 1998, I was only three years of age and didn't know really what was going on. I later developed a thing of jealousy and wanting things to be about me all the time. It still stands strong today.
The jealousy and egomania has affected the music I like as well as the movies and hobbies I have. I'm a model, which just puts me on a pedestal for everyone to oooo and awww over, and cheering makes me be noticed and gives me the feeling of a close knit team. A lot of the music I like is the kind of music that makes you want to dress up and go get everyone's attention. And for dance classes, the recital to me is showing off how hard I worked to be up on that stage.
All in all, I've fought long and hard to be where I am with the joys of the little things on the way. So what if my parents didn't live in the suburbs w/ minivans and picket fence yards? Being raised in that environment w/ those people around me made me the good person I am today. I wasn't raised mainstream, I was raised unique and independant and unlike everyone else, and that makes me who I am now.
