PROLOGUE #1 Hi! My name is Wynita Janz. Autobiography project.

This is my

There is some pretty good

questions that I have been asked in this project. It really made me think a lot and somewhat change my ways. This whole book is about me and what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been through. Good and bad.

So this is a book filled with questions asking about myself. I had to answer fifty of these questions. Most of them werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t personal. Just asking what you do in your spare time and your opinion on things. I chose this to be my title because it just brought up so many good memories. Almost all the prompts in her have a story behind them.

SENSORY EXPERIENCES #5 A beautiful hot day with blue skies and clear waters at the beach with a tasty tuna sandwich, cold can of brisk. Soft sand on my feet with a leather football in my hand. Getting to see the colorful fish in the water and smiles on everyone face. I love going to the beach. Hearing laughter and splashing coming from the water, the salty air, hot sent of the spicy pickles are sensory experiences I associate with a day at the beach. I love going to the beach. I love watching the water. I like walking in the water when the water is super clear. The soft sand and salty air. Just there to kick back and have fun. Make a moment well never forget. It’s the place to be when the weather is nice. They can barbecue, swim, play in/with the sand. Catch fish and ells and crabs. Play with the football, Frisbee, beach ball whatever we got. We can even play sand ball fight. I can make a mean sand ball. The beach is just where it’s at. The best place to spend your time. You can do all these fun activities and pig out at the same time. That’s when you barbecue, get pizza, make sandwiches and of course drinks. My favorite thing to bring to the beach to eat and drink. The best food to bring to the beach, is tuna and egg sandwich with a lot of snacks. The best drinks for the beach is Brisk, Aloha green tea or ice tea.

METAPHORICAL DEFINITION #6 1. Sadness is like a sky full of clouds. 2. Happiness is like plate of pork belly. 3. Luck is like a four leaf clover. 4. Idea is like a light bulb. 5. Imagination is like a castle. 6. Adventure is like a tree headed dragon 7. Sleep is like an extinct animal. 8. Success is like money. 9. Beauty is like a sunny day. 10. Promise is like a bond.

COLOR YOUR WORLD #8 There is so many color to choose from. I can't just talk about one. I would wear all colors of the rainbow, from dark to bright. The main colors I wear are black, red, gray, and white. My most favorite color would be blue. I like all the shades from light to dark. Right now my truck is blue with very bad jaf jaf. It’s a work in progress. I like it like that. I can't find any other color to match it. I want it to be a color someone doesn't have. Maybe the type of paint that changes color. That would be crazy, but I don’t know how to spray that so I might have to pay to get it done. I paint anything I get the chance to. Even if it’s for nothing. I always have a problem with picking a color though. I like everything colorful especially something I’m always around. I don’t like solid colors most of the time. I would get tired of it and change it up just for fun. Except my truck, that’s the only thing I like one color. I might change up the color up here and there. I don’t know what other color I would paint but it’s definitely not going to stay blue. I want to paint it like tree different colors. I also want to make it have a patina look. (A patina look is like an old look with the faded pain and rust spots.) It’s too make the car or truck look old and have been around for a while.

ROOM SWEET ROOM #9 My room is fairly big. It has a bed, TV, closet, shelves and a dresser. I share a room with my sibling. It has a flat screen TV and game consoles. I prefer a fan over, ac any day. I could live with a fan. I would like to paint the wall a dark gray. Right now it has white walIs. I want to get a stereo set for my room. There’s no use because I’m barley in my room. I’m always outside. I spend most of the day in a class room anyways. I feel like I’m missing everything that’s going on outside. Plus I got dogs that I have to be outside to watch. So that way when people come up to my house they don’t get bite or my doges don’t leave the house.

I keep my room as clean as possible. I just like everything to have its place. Look neat and fresh. I hate shearing a room. I always have to clean my sister’s mess. She’s always in there and never cleans it. She just throws her stuff everywhere. I want my own room so bad. My mom is not a big fan of things on are wall or door. So we can’t hang anything on our wall or door. It pretty plane honestly. There’s not really much to look at. Also there’s not really a place for my school stuff. Like my bag, shoes so I just put them where they fit best. Normally just lay my bag against the wall and line up my shoes with the wall. My sister’s stuff is just everywhere so I try to never mind it, but sometimes it’s just hard.

EXTENDED METAPHORS #11 Sadness is a sky full of clouds It makes my day ten times better when I see the sun. Don’t get me wrong I love it when it rains, because to get to play in it. I like the rain, but sometimes it rains when I really want to do something with the family or friends. Sometimes even just to wash clothes it would rain. Rain is good. Some day its just cloudy. No rain or anything just super gloomy outside. Imagination is like a castle I say a castle because they are huge. Your imagination can run as crazy as you let it. Like a castle you could never live in one but you could imagine to, because you can. Nobody can tell you no or you cant do that. Its like your own little world. Your imagination is really crazy. Some people come up with things that help people or save their lives. Success is money In my opinion you are successful if you don’t have to depend on anyone. If you don’t struggle with bill and able to support your family, able to buy them what they want and need. You either need to know how to do it, know someone who knows how to do it or have the money to pay for it. Sleep is an extinct animal I like to stay up late and wake up early. I never take naps and rarely sleep in. It’s not that I want to sleep, it’s the fact that

we already sleep for half of our live. I feel like I’m wasting my life away just sleeping all the time. So I try to get up and make something out of myself, day, and life. Even though I get up and do nothing all day.

SYMBOLIC RECIPE #12 2 cups – hard work 2 cups – respect 2 cups - fun 1 cup – commitment 1 cup – laziness 1 cup – loyalty 1 cup – responsible 1 ½ - weirdness 1 ½ - procrastination 1 tbs – creativity 1 tsp – bad temper Mix all that together and you get a girl. Who is very respectful. She is responsible and hard working at most things, but procrastinates and lazy when it comes to other things. When the day starts she can be weird and fun but at the end of the day be in a really bad mood. She is also committed and loyal to the things she does. She’s a one of a kind mix. You can’t find anything like it.

THE ULTIMATE ALL-PURPOSE EXCUSE #13 I was late to class because, I had to finish one of my group projects to the library. We had to film a cooking video. So as we are almost done cleaning up the bell rings and someone had to drop the food to our class. They choice me to do it. So the bell rings we still need to clean up and I need to drop the food to G wing. We finally finish and I leave the library and make it to my cooking class before the tardy bell rings. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m rushing. So I drop the food and rush here. Who I saw you will not believe. It was Spiderman. I freaking super hero. He was saving the baby elephant who was choking on a banana.

This was just back her at the cafeteria. So of course I stopped to watch, Because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freaking Spiderman saving an elephant. To things that I have never seen before. That is a once in a life time thing. The elephant picked the banana piled it tried to eat it fast and choked. Spiderman came to the rescue and saved him. Now the elephant will live to see another day.

TELLING TAILS #14 Here are three stories that my parents told me that I thought were funny. The first story is about my dad when he used to live on a farm. They had many animals. Horses, cows, pigs, dogs, cats, ducks, goose and many more. So my dad was in the kitchen washing dishes and his younger brother asked to walk his dog, so my dad said sure. Keep in mind his dog was a Pitbull and loved to chase the gooses on the farm. He even told his younger brother to watch for the gooses. Not even five minutes later my dad hears yelling and Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his brother saying Andy, Andy, your dog, your dog. All my dad sees through the window above the sink is the gooses running for its life and his dog dragging his brother across the yard. The second story is about me. When I was younger, maybe like two or three. We had a water bed. It was my Dad, oldest brother, and I. We were all watching TV. My dad gets up and steps out of the room. As he does that I get up and sit on the side of the bed. My oldest brother decides to get up and stand on the headboard and jump onto the bed. The water bed is like two feet of the ground. So he jumps onto the bed, the water ripples and sends me flying. As I go up in the air, my dad just so happened to walk back into the room and see me land right on my face. So my Dad one dad had to tend to the horses. So he feed and waters them and clean there hooves. He cleans all the mud out, cut the nail and files it down and put the shoes on. So he start to gather all the materials and the horse steps on his foot. He stared pushing and shoving the horse to get off and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move. So he smacks the horses butt and it takes off. My dad said his foot was all black and blue when the horse steps off

UNFINISHED SENTENCES #15 1. I USUALLY WORRY ABOUT… my grades and family 2. I FEEL ANGRY WHEN… I'm hungry 3. IM MOODY WHEN… I'm tired 4. I'M HAPPIEST WHEN… the vibe is good 5. I FEEL CONFIDENT WHEN… someone is there to back me up 6. I FEEL FUSTRATED WHEN… I can’t think straight 7. I FEEL DEPRESSED WHEN… I'm unhappy 8. I AM COMFORTABLE WHEN… I'm happy 9. I FEEL NERVOUS WHEN… all eyes are on me 10. I FEEL SENTIMENTAL WHEN… I don’t want to do something

PERSONAL SYMBOL #16 My personal symbol is not an item. It’s an animal. My dogs are my object that has meaning to me. My family always had a dog around. To watch over the house when we’re not home of just to keep us company. The first dog I remember was a sharpie. He was my Moms dog and he was crazy. He had died, Because the neighbors dog got lose and beat him up. Then we moved houses. Within those three years we lived in that house. I’ve owned more then two dozen dogs within three years. I took care of five dogs that came from my oldest brother, one from my mom, and my only female dog gave birth to a dozen of pups. When I turned seventh grade we moved and I only took four of them with me. A couple months later we didn’t have the money to take care of all of them so we ditched all of them except one, my Moms dog. Up to this day she’s still alive. She got pregnant twice and out of both those litters only one lived. So now we have four dogs. My Moms dog and her pup, and two dogs that we are watching over for my uncle. A male and female razors edge blue pits. A father and daughter. We’ve had them for about three years. Now cleos pregnant and now is going to give birth late February. Also not including my youngest sister’s dogs. She has two. There pretty much mine because she doesn’t even take care of them. I’m the one that always feeds them and gives them water.

A MYSTERIOUS PLACE #18 A mysterious place for me would be a home with three different weather climates and a beach side. So your house is cut into four sections. Now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at your home from the top view. On your top right side is the beach side. The bottom right side is nothing but snow. The bottom left side is all mud, rain and dirt. The top left side has an ground pool with nothing but sun all day, everyday. So you can do what you want whenever you want. From a snow day, to a wet and dirty day, or a hot and sunny day at the beach or just chill at the pool.

So on the snowy side of your house you can snowboard, ski, build igloos, play snowball fight. The sunny side you can get a trampoline, Basketball hoop and some water activities. Maybe just have a BBQ at the beach or by the pool. The side with all the rain, mud and dirt. You can pop out the dirt bikes, ATVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S, and make shift sleds and just roll in the mud and get dirty. Spray everyone with mud and dirt. You can do a lot. You could just have a game day with the family. Play kickball, baseball, dodgeball, jump rope and just have fun with it. So that is my mysterious pace.

SYNECTICS #19 1. Pencil – because you have room for mistakes. 2. Street – because there’s many like it. 3. Clock – because most clocks have the date on them. 4. Question – because you just ask what you want to know. 5. New – because you don’t know how new things work. 6. Map – because it’s a pieces of paper. 7. History – because it’s what we trust in more. 8. Find – because your quest is over. 9. Music – because some songs can pump you up. 10.

Night mares– because they keep you up and freak

you out.

A DAY IN THE LIFE #20 She get up every weekday around five oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock to attend school. Rolls out of her bed to freshen up. She wakes up her older brother to get ready for school. Then she changes out of her sleep wear and into her uniform. Does her hair. Wakes up here younger brother to start getting ready for school. Then puts on her socks and shoes and all the books she needs for the day in her backpack. Waits for her brother to finish getting ready and heads to school. She stays in school for a good eight hours. She then gets home from school and the first thing she does is change out of her uniform. Then leaves the house to pick up her youngest sister from school. Gets home and feeds her dogs. She has five. Sits down for the first time since she got off school. She goes on her phone for a little while. She then gets up again and starts on her chores before her parents get home.

After all of that she finally makes her something to eat. Then around tree oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock she lets her dogs out to use the restroom and takes out there food bowls for the next day. She is finally free for the rest of the day. She normally goes on her phone or works on her truck. Depending on what day it is she goes to her friends house. To end off the night she hopes in the shower and cleans up. Then puts on something to watch till she falls asleep. Wakes up the next morning and does it all over again. 21

FLASHBACK #23 It was one day of fourth grade in elementary school. I asked my teacher for promotion to drink water. She said I may. The water fountain is right next to my older brother’s classroom. So I went drank water and as I was walking back passing the classroom door, I hear yelling coming from the door of my brother’s class room. It’s my brother yelling. I stop and listen to make sure and it was him. I’m standing there with my hand on the doorknob debating to go in. I wanted to go into the class room so bad, but I was thinking about all the kind of trouble I would be in if I did got in. I stood out the door for like twenty seconds. Then eventually he stop yelling. So I took my hand off the doorknob and went back to my classroom. When I got home I asked him about it. He told me that the kids in his class was picking on him. I was so mad that I didn’t open the door. I wish I opened the door. I wish I can go back and redo that whole situation different. Ever since that day I do whatever I have to do for my family. I honestly don’t know what I was so scared of. There was really nothing to be scared up. I just didn’t was to get suspended because I know my mom wouldn’t be to happy about it.

I prefer to be outside the house then inside. I honestly hate staying inside the house. Not even my room I can stand. I think it’s just because I stay in a class room most of the day. With a big yard I would just have a lot more room for more opportunity. I just want my house the best place to be. Where all the endless fun, and unforgettable moments happen. Here’s a couple things I said I’ve said good bye too. When I moved houses I left a lot of things behind. My old school. My old friends. My house. The crazy neighbors.

Eventually I will be saying bye-bye to school. Shinny’s the shave ice restaurant. Playing baseball. My oldest brother and sister. The age where there was nothing to worry about. Nothing really much.

PICTURE THIS #29 I was first shown this picture in elementary school. I thought it was pretty neat. My fifth grade teacher printed it out and pasted it to the class. She asked us what did we see and we told her a women. Some of us saw the older lady and others saw younger one. She said look closer there is another women there. It honestly took us a while to find both ladies. I was so amazed. I had never see anything like it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a picture with in a picture. I choice this picture because it reminds me of when I was young. It also shows me that there is two sides to everything. Every story, every person, every picture, every animal. I figured not many people have see it so why not show it. I remember my elementary teacher gave the class a lot of these kind of stuff. They are just cool to look at.

LOOK WHO I LOOK UT TO # 30 I honestly don't look up to anyone famous, because that's just not me. I don't feel the need to. I'm too busy worrying about me. Yes, there is people who I like to listen to or watch on TV. I guess they just don't make an impact on my life that much. There nothing really I can do about that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just something I'm not really into. I guess it's because I know that I will never meet them or they will find no interest in me. So what's the purpose of even trying. If I really look up to someone I would honestly like to meet the person. I know I'm not doing this prompt right but it's the truth. I rather write something that's true, than something I have to make up.

I do look up to people but they aren't famous. I look up to my oldest brother. Just because he's making it in life. He's living the dream and going places. I look up to my mom, because no matter how crazy her kids make her she stays sain. She put herself through crazy things just to make her family happy. I also look up to my dad because he stayed around. He never gave up. He's pushing himself so he can support a family. He could have walked out

didn't.

REMEMBERING THE CHILD #31 When I was a child I was very blunt. I said all the thoughts and questions running through my head out loud. I didn’t hide anything. I wasn’t a shamed of who I was. I would always ask mean questions about other people and make things awkward for my parents and relative. My mom’s favorite memory of me is when I first started to walk. She was wash clothes one day, she took them in to the house to fold them. So we’re in the living room and I start messing the piles of clothes she already folded. She said I did it like tree times. The first two times all she did was get mad at me. Telling me to stop messing the pile of clothes. The third time my mom had finally had enough. She turned around to see me walking from couch to couch. She said I would use the couch to sand myself up and push off to the next couch. She said that she was getting mad at me for walking. Then she stood me up and asked me to show her how I walk. My mom was about to beat me for messing the clothes. Then when she turned around she got so excited. I asked my dad what was his favorite memory of me and his excuse was that there was so much running through his head that he couldn’t think of one. He also so said that there is so many good ones he can’t pick one. So my dad doesn’t have any favorite memory of me when I was a child. All my relatives can say that I was very blunt. As I got older things changed.

ONE MEDIUM SUTICASE #32 I plan on leaving the island after high school. Not like right after but like a few mouth’s later. I’m going to see my oldest brother and stay with him for a while to see how it is back there. He’s in South Carolina. I only want to go back there for the trucks and cars. If I only have a medium size suitcase to take with me, In that suitcase will contain my toothbrush and toothpaste. I will bring all my favorite clothes. At least seven pares. Two pairs of nice clothes. Shove a pair of shoes and slippers in my bag. I would take something that reminds me of home. My wallet with all my information. Save enough cash so I can take and get me things I need to survive back there. I will try to fit a jacket in there if I can. Take a couple a pairs of socks because sometimes it gets cold. I wish I could take my truck back there so I can work on it. Instead of leaving it here. If I do good back there, there is no doubt about it I’m going to get me another project truck when I back there. I just want to kick back with my brother and have some crazy adventures. Then get a project truck. Enjoy life and live large. There’s only two big reasons I want to go back there, Because I miss my brother and there is so many opportunities back there. Especially with my brother.

THE PERFECT PRESENT #33 I can't think of anything other than extra credit. I feel like I should always have a back up plane to pick up my grade. What better way to do that then extra credit. I feel like it should always be offered to us from time to time. Yes, some of us may not need it and most of us don’t deserve it. You’re probably not on my side with this because you believe that it may be the easy way out. It doesn’t have to be an easy way it could be a second chance. All the things teachers do for us and we still give them a hard time. With being late and throwing attitude. Being disrespectful and not paying attention. The extra credit don't have to take us a long way. Just enough to make it. Something like a safety plan. Yes, you did give us extra credit. One card for the whole semester. The highest point was six. I got four extra points. I’m not complaining. It's better than nothing. I mean like it could really help me. Just asking for more opportunities to get that extra points. The more the better. Some of us don't have Internet at home or a laptop. I on the there hand do have a laptop and Internet. The laptop I do have only works when it wants to and the Internet is not that great. You do give us the opportunity to come in on lunch and use the laptops and the Internet. At the same time you can't get a lot done on our lunch break. We have to keep looking at the time so we aren't later for our next class.

MEMORABLE EVENTS #34 The time I went to watch jumanji with my Auntie and Uncle. I chose this event because my auntie and uncle are like my second set of parents. They always ask me if I need anything, they always check up on me and just there to support me. They don't have any kids. I think that the reason why they're like that. It was a last minute thing when we went to go watch jumanji. We were kind a late to the movie theater too. I really do appreciate them and what they do for me. I always have a good time with them. My time is always well spent with them.

ALWAYS SAY NEVER #36 Things I never want to do again while working on my truck          

Working in tall grass Working with no drink Bruising my body Striping a bolt Misplacing tools Losing nuts, bolts and washers in the grass Smashing my finger Cutting my fingers Dropping tools in places I can’t reach Going under my truck without safety glasses

I really don’t like the feeling of grass on a hot day. My skin gets irritated and itchy. My hair doesn’t help at all. All the grass, rust and everything gets stuck in it. Then I get thirsty because it’s hot and I can’t get myself drink because my hands are dirty. It never fails every time I work in my truck I always get these random bruises. Most of the time I don’t strip the bolt I break it off. I even get to overloaded that I misplace my tools that I need. It’s very rare that I get careless with my truck but when I do I tend to be very clumsy. I lose nuts, washers and bolts. I even drop tools in places I can’t reach. Sometimes I don’t place the racket on the nut good. It would slip and I would smash my finger. There’s even time I would hold things wrong and I would get a bad cut. I get really lazy to where I don’t think about my safety.

ARE YOU HUNGRY? #37 My favorite meal is a home cooked meal. My dad’s sweet and sour spare ribs. I can eat it breakfast, lunch and dinner. All day, every day. Whenever my dad goes shopping and brings home spare ribs we always ask him to make sweet and sour. There is never any leftovers for the next day. That’s how good it is. I like the soft bone on the rib. I don’t really care for the bone itself I just like the top part. I always get super full whenever I eat it. That’s not the only thing my dad can makes that I like. It’s just my favorite meal that he makes. Whenever my dad is cooking my always kitchen. Like I always check up on him. When he’s making sweet and sour I don’t thing I ever leave the kitchen. There is a lot more dishes that my dad can make, That is my most favorite. My second most favorite would be his beef and broccoli. That used to be my number one favorite but not anymore.

WHERE Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;M FROM #38 I'm from a little Rock in the middle of Pacific Ocean called Guam. I live in the middle of the island on family land. I stay in a dirt road with only one bus stop for the whole street. My mom is a local to Guam and my dad is from cali. My dad moved here in his early 20's. My mom has stayed here longer than my dad and he knows his way around the island better than my mom. I have never left this island. My island is beautiful. We have lookouts, ponds, falls and any more.

ANNUAL REPORT #41 I feel like I'm the same person I was a year ago. Nothing changes except that I probably gained a little more wisdom and maybe a better bond with some people. A year from now I would hope to be a little more successful, more independent. Not being supported by my parents. Hopefully I would be helping g them out. So they could slowly stop working and not worry about money and bills. I really don't expect to be anything a year for now. I'm eighteen, still being supposed by my parents. I don't have no job. I still live under their roof and eat off the food they provide. I hope to make progress. I don't want to live off my parents and put more stress on their shoulders. I definitely think I made progress with in a year. Slowly but surely. I have gotten my license, a vehicle for me to drive I think I'm going better than I was a year ago go. I've accomplished so many things this Yeah that I wasn't able to do last year. I'm just really scared I won't be able to pick myself up on my own two feet. I scared to go into the world.

EMPHRASIS #42

I chose this picture because it reminds me of a lot of things. Well first off my brother took this picture. I haven't seen him in like a year. I only saw him for like a week then he had to go back home. He stays in South Carolina. It's a picture of his skimboards on the beach side. Now the skimboards are in my care. I love to skim. He taught me how, and got me into it. Every since then I just got hooked. I thinks it's because it's the only thing that he left behind when he left. He would always take me to the beach behind our old house to skim. We would just have the best of time. I also love the beach. Just to sit there and kick back makes my day. That with some great people is the best. It just make me think of all the great things my brother has accomplished. All the great adventures he went on. He just really inspires me. I really look up to him.

VISSUALLY SPEAKING #43

LESSONS I LEARNED AFTER IT WAS TOO LATE #44 I learned to use the restroom when you need it. It really suck when you can't hold it no more and some ones in the restroom. Then your stuck doing the peepee dance trying to hold it in. Even when you sit down cause you need it and can't get back up. It sucks even more when someone's in the restroom and they taking their sweet time. Then they finally get out and you go in to see that there's no toilet paper. The person that just came out didn't tell you. Now you got to yell for someone to get you some. Even when the boys in the house leave the toilet seat up. I don't know how many timeI fell in the toilet bowl. I mean sometimes I do hold it till I can't hold it no more because I get lazy sometimes. I just hate using the restroom I feel like it's a waste of time.

THE DOOR #45 When I walk out that door I want... I want to have a good pm break. Wait for the bell to ring. Take a long walk to my truck. Drive home safely. Get home and change out of my uniform. Drive safely to my sisters school. Pick her up and take her home. Then I want to feed my dogs and do my chores. So when the weekend comes I can do what I want. Start on home work if I have any. Wait for my mom and dad to get home. Let my dogs our to use the restroom. Put them back in. Wait for dinner to be made and eat. Shower then crags out. Wake up and start the day all over again.

When I walk out that door I don't want... To end my day in a bad mood. Want my parents so come home in a bad mood. Come home to no food in the house. I don't want to be hung on or hit. I don't want to have to walk all the way up to c wing, because my friends want to see me. Then walk althea way to my truck. I don't want to have to wait for the busses to move so I can move. Don't want to get yelled at when I come home. I don't want to come home to find my dog missing.

ADVICE TO THE YOUNG #46 I don't know about you, but when i was younger. My elders would always tell me to live life young. To not have babies, or an other half. They always told me to enjoy it before I got older. If only I knew then, what I know now. I always thought that I could have done better growing up. I felt that I pretty much wasted my childhood.

Honestly, now that I look back on it, I'm

satisfied. Growing up I did live life to its fullest at the time. For what I knew then I made it work. As of right now I think I'm doing good ok. Trying to move up in life. Make another chapter. Yes, there are some things you wish you had done different, but once it's done you can't change that.

You got to learn to live with it.

I just want you to know that your going to lose friends along the way. Things are going to change. Sometimes for the better. You may not be happy about it. You just got to get over it and move on. There's nothing you can do once it is done. Always stay true to yourself and be happy. I think being positive most of the time really helps. Always give second chances If you feel it's right. Never hold back on something you really want to do. Pay attention in school and listen to your parents.

FUTURES, FANTASY, FACT #50 If my wish comes true. I probably would be working in a shop. Having to do with welding, motors, painting, body repaired. I probably wouldn't be on Island though. I would most likely would be in the states working in a car shop. If my wish does come true. I just hope ten years from now I'm not homeless or living off my family. I really hope to be doing something with myself. If I continue to keep doing what I'm doing and not change my way. I would still be living off my mom and dad. If I don't get up now and start moving myself. I'm going to end up nowhere but at home on the couch. I really don't want that for me. At the same time I'm also scared to go into the working field. Like really scared. That i might not be able to hold a job. I would love a good job with good pay. The part I'm scared if is not being able keep that job. My plans for the future seem simple. If I keep doing what I'm doing in ain't going to get anywhere. My parents still pay everything for me. My gas, phone, they bought my uniform, they provide food for the house that I eat, bought my shoes and still there's in nothing I can give them in return that is good enough.

EPILOGUE If a person found my book. They didn't know me at all and decide to read it. I give props to them and myself. I only read things that look eye catching or interesting. They would think I have a crazy obsession with my truck and Skimming. I also mostly talk about my brother. I guess they would think I'm a very chill and kick back person with a lot of stories. I doubt they would think I'm a female. A person who is weird and jumps to so many subjects are one time. I also think they would doubt my hopes and dreams.
