Hi, I'm Ava. I'm adopted and Asian. I have two older sisters and a Mom but no father because my Mom was married but then divorced him before we were adopted. I was adopted when I was a baby so I don't speak any Asian language. I grew up in a nice town. When I was 2-4.5 years of age I lived in a fancy neighborhood and our street had a lot of kids. I grew up with them but I have no clue where they are now in life. They were the ones who made me like I am. Because the rest of the girls were older and were snotty, I hung out with Christian, Peter and David. They were older then me but that was okay because they let me hang around them. Peter and David were twins and they had an older brother and sister who were probably in high school then. Their family just loved me. Christian was cool too. We always hung out and played videogames together. Though, I felt bad for Christian because his Mom died of cancer when I was 4 and he moved away, but that was right before I also moved away. Christian's dad was cool too. He taught me a bunch of stuff. We also used to have parties in my backyard and basement. Our house was really big and when you're really small like me, it makes it even bigger. At the time, I was also friend's with a girl name Melanie. Our sisters and parents were friends with each other so me and her just clicked as little kids. She's a year younger then me but her and I didn't care. I admit that I guess she was a jerk but I didn't mind because I was such a loner of a kid at that time. Melanie knew everything about me and so did her brothers and sisters. I love their family and all. Melanie lived sort of 'far away' from each other but somehow all of each other's neighbors knew me and Melanie. We were just a package. That was until I moved to where I live now. It's been almost 10 years in this house but I love it. Our neighbors aren't like the ones that I had before. There was barely any kids in the neighborhood and no one really hung out with each other. That was until middle school when a bus stop united us all. Elementary had little effect on us and we pretty much all went through the motions. Middle school definetly changed me. I transformed from this shy person to an average kid. I still don't have any good best friends in my grade but that doesn't matter because I seem to impress a lot of people with an upbeat attitude a lot. Although, I can be a jerk and I know that.
What's up with me lately? Well, I'm finishing off eighth grade year and next year I'll be in high school. It's got me all stressed lately and I have to turn in the registration sheet tomorrow. I don't know what I'll do and there is a lot of choices and offers given to me. I didn't know I was such a leader but I guess I am. There is a guy I like, Joey, but my friends say I played him because I was so hot and cold to him that I kept going out with him and then like breaking up and all. Though, it's better when we're just friends, I still like him and liked the idea of us going out and all. But I'm just coasting now because whatever happens will happen. Lately I've been mad because of family. Mom seems to ignore whatever I have to say about high school and all but she really only listened to me when my older sister, Katie said that I had impressed a teacher. My Mom ever really only listens to my older sister. Anna is the middle child and pretty idiotic. They can both be really nice but all of us being nice at the same time is only in the car when it's just us getting groceries from King Soopers.
The thing about high school is that I want to do a lot of clubs and all but I can't because it'd be too much. I want to do cross country running and marching band. I think I'll choose marching band over cross country running because I'll run in band. Then there is student council vs symphonic band. Both are quite honors because you have to audition to be in symphonic band and you have to get invited to be in student council. This is probably the hardest decision. I don't know which to choose but I'm going to look into student council and if I like it enough I can always talk to the councelor and getting my schedule changed or whatever. I can't do both because symphonic band and student council are both eighth hour. Then in the spring there will be track vs tennis. But in tennis you run too. However, I think I have a little time before I have to decide between track and tennis.
My best friend is helping me a lot. Her name is Leah and I sort of met her in sixth grade while she was in seventh grade. We both joined honor band and later I remembered her name and friended her on facebook. From there, we became best friends. She's the only one who understands really. She introduced me to Marcos who is another good friend. My top friends? Leah, Marcos, Joey, Matt, Amanda and Nueka. I don't know who my real friends are. I know though, Leah and Marcos are my friends for life no matter how annoying Marcos can get. Joey and Matt are just chill about things and I've been friends with Matt since sixth grade.
Life is....pretty good actually. Just has a TON of confusing things going on and all. I don't know what to choose so I'm taking a bunch of advice from friends and all.
