Just Being Myself

     Never have I been to a more amazing school than Pine View High School. They are so generous and giving to the community. Every year they do a Mr. PVHS pageant where all the different clubs in school raise money  that in turn goes to a family with a medical condition. The first two years we raised money for Jessica Schmidt and Taleah Stevenson. Both these girls were under five years old and suffering with cancer. It was amazing to see how the school came together to support them, both years we raised over $1000! I love seeing that sense of community in the school. This year we are raising money for Talen Vaughn, he's a six year old boy who was born with a yet to be diagnosed disease which has left him paralyzed. I have no doubt in my mind that this year's fundraiser will be a successful one :)      The Mr. PVHS Pageant is something else entirely on it's own. Each club sends one boy to represent them. That boy is in charge of earning money for the family. How they earn

     Whenever I tell someone I am a Senior the response is usually the same, "what do you want to do with your life?" I don't know how to respond to that. My family is telling me to go one way and my dreams are pushing me another way. Don't get me wrong, I want what my family is telling me to do, I would love being a doctor helping those who need me. But my passion is acting. I love being on the stage, all eyes on me. If it was up to me I would love to be a theater teacher or possibly an english teacher. I know the choice is mine but I can't live with letting my parents down and not following the path they've established. Graduation is fastly approaching and I have no idea which path I will be taking when the time comes. I've just got to take things day by day and see where they lead, maybe a new dream will form and I'll follow that, I don't know. For right now I'm just putting one foot in front of the other, hoping I'm making the right cho

     I work at a fast food restaurant in the town where I live. In this job I come across many different people, some of them I like and some of them I really want to get out of my store. The people that especially fall under that category are: mess makers, bum heads, and last minute customers.      Mess Makers : These are the customers that come in and make a complete and total mess of the place. They completely wreck my beautiful dining room, leaving their fry cartons and wrappers on the floor, food all over the place, maybe even just walking out while their tray is still on the table. People who move my chairs and tables and don't replace them fall under this category too. Sometimes they wreck the bathrooms too or the condiment stand. Most of the time there is nothing you can do with customers like these as they aren't truly identified until after they leave.      Bum Heads: These could be anybody. They are rude and treat us cashiers like we're idiots. They get upset o
