Learning to speak up

For as long as I can remember, I have been dubbed the “quiet girl.” This fitting title grew out of my reserved nature and ability to always stay focused on schoolwork during class. When others would “talk when the teacher was talking,” I kept my mouth closed. I guess I never really got over that.

I can trace my shyness all the way back to pre-school. When the teacher asked a question, I did not raise my hand. While the other kids played “family” with the plastic kitchen set, I sat by myself. At recess when the boys and girls ran around on the jungle gym, I stood behind the big yellow tunnel. That tunnel was my refuge, the one place I could hide my shyness.

As I transitioned into elementary school and middle school, I acquired a pretty stable group of friends. But when I didn’t know someone in my class, I rarely spoke up. I did not know what to say or who to talk to. I answered the usual comments, “Why are you so quiet?” and “Are you shy or something?” by shrugging my shoulders and turning away.

I entered high school with one friend and a million fears.

I avoided speaking up in class. I avoided making eye contact with anyone but the teacher. I avoided anything that involved stepping outside of my comfort zone.

What possessed me to join an organization that involves constantly talking to authority figures and my peers, I will never understand. But my sophomore year, I did just that. I joined the

school newspaper.

Before I knew it, The Marquee began to consume my life.

I spent hours interviewing students and teachers and writing about everything from the upcoming school play to teen drug use. I was able to put my shyness aside because I had a job to do.

When my second year of high school ended, a new opportunity presented itself – a leadership role. Ms. Hale selected me to be the managing editor, the second highest position on staff. Not only would I be editing all of the copy and making decisions for the staff, but I would also have to act like a leader. Share my opinions. Address the whole staff. Speak up.

I accepted the position with worry in the back of my mind.

But I also felt an inexplicable sense of excitement. This was my opportunity to take control of something I was passionate about. My opinions would be taken into consideration.

For the entirety of my junior year, I worked alongside the editor-in-chief and the rest of the staff to create eight issues of The Marquee. I got up in front of the staff every day to call out deadlines or make announcements. I taught the new staffers what makes a good story and worked with all of the reporters on each and every story they wrote. I also continued reporting and took on even bigger stories than I had the previous year, including one that involved interviewing an undercover narcotics officer. I had to deal with backlash from students disagreeing with some of the issues and even from the principal himself.

Newspaper brought me out of my shell, out of my comfort zone. I was given a responsibility to be a leader and make a difference at my school with the paper, and I could not let my shyness get in the way of that. Newspaper gave me the push I needed to overcome the biggest struggle I’d been dealing with my entire life. It gave me confidence to speak my mind.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in this wild ride of trigonometry, crowded hallways and dress-code fiascos that is high school, it’s to never be afraid to push yourself outside of your comfort zone. You never know what talents or passions you might discover.

Looking back at my freshman self, I never would have been able to guess I would be where I am today – the editor-in-chief of The Marquee and a future journalism major at UT, Austin. But thanks to newspaper and the leadership roles I have acquired, I will not remember high school like I remember pre-school. And if I ever return to the playground where I attempted to hide my shyness, I know the giant yellow tunnel will be much smaller than I remember.

Sticking with it When I was a little kid, I tried everything at least once.

I was on the basketball team for two years, soccer team for three years, Brownies for five years, ballet for two years and the softball team for 10 years. After I got my fill of running up and down soccer fields and twirling around on my toes, I found out those weren’t really my passion. Like many kids do, I ended up quitting these activities after trying them for only a short time. But I feel like my tendency to try things out and quit shortly after carried into my high school life. I played softball and volleyball and was in the orchestra - I did it all. And quit it all. I began to feel like a quitter without one true passion and it frustrated me. “Quit” was not a word in my vocabulary for my academic career, and I most definitely didn’t want it to be in my vocabulary for my hobbies.

When junior year hit, my pattern of quitting changed when two girls, Marisa Charpentier and Amanda Collen, convinced me to join newspaper.

I was a little skeptical at first because although I loved to write, I enjoyed creative writing and

From beginning to end

As I put the finishing touches on my cherished childhood scrapbook, I can’t help but get a little misty eyed. Flipping through the pages, I am reminded of my preschool and elementary school days. Colorful images of me laughing with my friends on the playground, certificates of accomplishments and samples of my art projects. I chuckle at funny quotes and narrations about what I had said as I described my favorite subjects and told stories about my friends.

Many of the people in the pictures have come and gone.

Friends from different states I am no longer in contact with.

Classmates that were once my best friends in middle school are people who I barely make eye contact with now as I walk down the hallways. It is strange the different paths we have taken in life that have resulted in our friendships fading away.

One page holds an image of me on the first day of kindergarten in my silly looking round glasses and goofy looking outfit. Oh, but I thought I looked great! Next to me is my best friend, Brooke Wright. It was a sunny day in Lake Mary, FL, a suburb of Orlando. We were so nervous as we got onto the school bus. Luckily we had each other. Brooke lived

had never written a journalistic story before. But I joined anyway, just to try it out. Now I am so grateful I did. I began as a timid first-time writer, but I soon developed into an experienced writer with the help of my teacher, Ms. Hale, and the rest of The Marquee staff. I finally had found somewhere I felt like I belonged.

I not only developed my writing skills, but I found some of my very best friends when I joined newspaper. I knew I had found where I belonged when I met the newspaper staff. They were my kind of people - hardworking, intelligent, curious and hilarious. Marisa Charpentier, Jordan Richards, Madison Ermenio, Amanda Collen, Tori Allmendinger, Hailey Painter and Courtney Clubb all became like sisters and brothers to me my junior year. They made me laugh 24/7 and inspired me every day.

Through our trips to Pei Wei, movie nights and pranks on work nights, I quickly bonded with them and have only grown closer to them during my past two years on staff. I have embarked on adventures to San Antonio and Boston with them, making my experiences with The Marquee the most memorable of my time in high school. I know that no matter where we end up after graduating we will always be friends.

Joining the newspaper also led me to discovering another passion of mine. I had always enjoyed taking pictures, evident by the 3,000 pictures taking up all the storage on my phone.

I had always thought that I was just being a stereotypical high school girl, wanting to take pictures wherever I went.

Instead I discovered that my interest was deeper than that. I tried out photography after writing a couple of stories for the paper and unearthed a deep love I had to capture moments and immortalize them with photographs. From then on, I have been taking pictures whenever I get the chance, trying to capture the moments in life.

I don’t know where writing and photography will take me after high school, but I hope to keep it up in some fashion.

And no matter what I end up doing later in life, I will always cherish my times in newspaper - meeting lifelong friends, discovering my passions and for once, sticking with a hobby.

across the street from me. We played on the same soccer team and went to the beach together. We would play “Spy” in my house using walkie talkie headsets as we tried to solve mysteries. We had hula hoop contests and went to the zoo together. So many of my fondest childhood memories include Brooke and her family.

After kindergarten, my life changed. Once again, we had to move because my dad got a new job in Dallas. I had to say goodbye to friends and this time it was going to be really hard because I had to say goodbye to Brooke. I moved to Highland Village and started kindergarten at McAuliffe Elementary.

Eventually, Brooke would move from Lake Mary to Denver, CO. We wrote letters to each other about what we got for Christmas, birthdays and our exciting vacations. We did our best to stay in contact but it was hard. Our lives drifted apart.

I vividly remember a call I received from Brooke years later when we were in middle school. She told me they were moving to Texas. I couldn’t believe what I heard. I immediately rushed to tell my mom the amazing news. My mom was so happy, but reminded me that Texas is a very large state. So I asked her where they were moving to in Texas and she told me that it was “Flower Mound.” My jaw dropped. I couldn’t believe it.

My best friend would no longer be hundreds of miles away.

Instead, she would be in my same school district.

Brooke went to Downing, and I went to Briarhill. Soon we would be at Marcus together. Even though we are involved in different extracurricular activities, I still think of her as one of my best friends. When I said goodbye to her in Florida that bright sunny day, I couldn’t even imagine I would be going to prom with her and a group of friends my junior year. We have supported each other and celebrated our accomplishments. It is so much fun to be able to reminisce with her about when we were 5 years old. She knows the events in my life that have defined me. We started school together, and now we are going to end it together.

Here’s to you Brooke. Thanks for always being there for me no matter the circumstance. I know that our friendship will not end once we graduate. We’ve been friends through thick and thin, and college will not change that.

@MadisonErmenio

Madison Ermenio Impressions and influences The best lessons I learned in high school weren’t taught during a lecture. Some of my best teachers have been friends, family and the wise people in my life. The people that shaped me from a clueless, intimidated freshman to a confident, mature senior.

On the first day of freshman year, I met Stephanie Clemens, one of my most loyal friends that goes out of her way to encourage me. I met Sarah Dixon, who loves everyone, even people with different viewpoints. Our OSU trips are some of my best memories (even though I prefer more of a burnt orange).

I bonded with Brooke Wright, who showed me that gentleness and compassion are some of the best characteristics a person can have. I met Julia Kraft, a bubbly, simply adorable foreign exchange student from Sweden. English is her second language, yet she always found ways to express her appreciation to others.

I have Kristin Fredrickson, an amazing friend who supported me even from Houston. My partner-in-crime Amanda Collen displays admirable self-confidence and always has my back.

Hailey Painter’s bravery is noticeable to everyone around her.

Brittany Diaz is the most down-to-earth person I know. Marisa Charpentier’s hard work inspires me to strive for the best. Our Gexa adventures at Fun., Matchbox 20 and Goo Goo Dolls are my favorite. Miranda Chiechi befriends everyone and always brightens my day with her smile. Marisa, Miranda and I have gone from Bridlewood Elementary to college in Austin. I can’t wait to see where the future takes us.

I adore Amanda Evans, whose sweetness and positivity reflect her optimistic mindset. Austin Rickerson, a daily inspiration to me and the most trustworthy person I know. I don’t care what we do, I love being with him and he’s the best boyfriend I could ask for. Sarah Clifford showed me to have faith regardless of the circumstances. My Bible study leader Laura Smith is a perfect role model and confidant for me.

My dad pushed me to do my best, and he exhibits humble acts of kindness yet rarely takes credit for it. I didn’t say it, but I loved going to car shows with him. My mom always supported me and puts difficult situations into perspective when I can’t on my own.

I love our shopping days and quality time with her. My sister reminds me to be goofy, which is sometimes perfectly acceptable and necessary to stay sane. I’ll miss my best friend so much along with our Cane’s runs and spazzy dance moves in my car.

I struggled with math, but I had amazing teachers to help me through. Mr. Kostibas, Mrs. Andersen, Mrs. Lumley, Ms. Houck and Mr. Pike - you transformed my least favorite class into one I could succeed in. I wish everyone had these teachers; they are truly the best. I’ve had awesome school counselors, Mrs. Melton, Mrs. Welsh-Roe and Mrs. Aguinaga at Briarhill, who saw my potential and brought out the best in me.

In seventh grade, I fell in love with Spanish because of Señora Knight’s contagious enthusiasm. I completed Spanish V and I will minor in Spanish at UT. Junior year I signed up for Ms. Hale’s newspaper class to be a writer. I found that I love telling people’s stories and giving a voice to those who don’t have one. These teachers passed on their passions to me and gave me priceless advice I’ll carry with me forever.

I’ve learned to be confident, kind and hard-working. I’ve learned to be a friend and to be happy with who I am. Thank you to the people that helped me strive to become all these things.

I was once a 14-year-old girl, lacking self-confidence and fearing what the future held. I am now a confident 18-year-old young woman that takes on the unknown future with determination. The path ahead of me is just beginning. I hope one day it will lead me to inspire people as you all have inspired me.

6 SENIOR EDITION

Beginning of the end

I’m not a writer. I’m really not good at forming words.

I like to think that my pictures speak more. It is the reason I am a photographer. High school has been the place that at times made me cry from too much AP homework, but it’s also where I created some beautiful pieces in art class.

I think it’s mainly important to remember to have fun and enjoy high school because it only comes once.

School sometimes reminds me of The Walking Dead with zombies everywhere. The process of this zombifying starts off slowly throughout the year. It’s a very simple process. I like to think it gradually happens overnight. The beginning of the school year is always fun because we see friends that we haven’t seen in over two months or we reminisce back on beautiful summer days. But then the familiar sense of routine starts making its way in our lives and we fight to not let it take us over. It feels like such a struggle to not fall into autopilot. It seems almost inevitable.

The 8:05 bell rings, and the zombies start rolling in,

To Marcus, sincerely me

I don’t really know how to say this. It’s not you, it’s me.

You deserve better. Someone who will love you for you, chaotic parking lot, grotesque cuisine and all. Marcus High School, it’s time we break up. Please stop crying. There are plenty of students in the school. Just eat some ice cream, you’ll be alright. Despite our semi-functioning, moderately toxic relationship, I had some great times with you. And I feel like I should thank the people that made that possible.

The first person I’d like to thank is God. Throughout the good, the bad and the ugly, he has been my go-to guy.

Without Him, without my faith and without my wonderful church, I would have been lost in high school.

I believe I owe my dear friend Netflix the praise it deserves. Thank you for being there the nights I had no friends and the days homework lost its appeal. Shout-out to my big three: One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl and Vampire Diaries for making me feel horrible about my average and insignificant life.

Now for music. Bless you for tuning out my teachers’ prolonged lectures and classmates’ moronic conversations when my ears could not take anymore. Glory be to my white girl guilty pleasure, Taylor Swift, for being there when I hated the male species, The Lumineers for being there when

dragging their feet into the school, getting ready for another day. Many are rushing into the library to finish homework.

At 8:15, we can hear the groans and squeals through the hallways of the school. And it’s time to make our way to first period where we feel like we could fall asleep for 90 minutes because we did not get enough sleep the night before.

The morning wears on the zombies, and it’s time to move on to second period. Although we are awake for that class we still fall asleep but have mastered doing it with our eyes open. The problem is that when asked a question, all we can do is nod our head and agree because we have no idea what is going on.

Lunch rolls in and a stampede of students come running in to the cafeteria and the commons trying to find a chair. It seems like such a hassle to find a seat in the crowded lunch room. This time of the day also makes third period seem to last for hours.

As we move on to the end of the day and into fourth period, we start to lose focus because all we want to do is leave, and many teachers get that because they are just as tired as we are. They don’t live in school like we think they do. They understand our frustration and try to make the class more entertaining by not just lecturing and and giving notes but incorporating different things that help us get through the day. The day slowly comes to a close, and we are just ready to jump in bed and take a nap.

We are told stories of high school being so awesome that anything else in life would not compare to the experiences we will have in this glorifying place. However, this place is not like anything we are told. Everyone experiences high school differently. There are unforgettable experiences that we have in this place, but we are teenagers and we exaggerate things just for the heck of it. We do forget to have some fun because we are too busy embracing our zombie state. Make sure to watch out on and not get sucked into the crazy world of zombies. Just remember to breathe and enjoy high school because we only experience it once.

I needed a good cry and The Neighbourhood for being there when I wanted to feel cooler than I actually am.

Let us all pause for a moment of silence in reverence of my tranquil haven and second home, Roots Coffeehouse.

Your employees have made me believe that cute, hipster boys really do exist in the south. Your coffee has gotten me through the nights I became engrossed in the aftermath of chronic procrastination. With gratitude in my heart and a hole in my pocket, I thank you.

I feel it is only right to acknowledge my one, true high school sweetheart: books. While couples would line the hallways in a overextended embrace, I spent my passing periods blubbering over Augustus Waters and drooling over Tobias Eaton. And I would not have wanted it any other way.

Thank you to newspaper. Although you have caused me many stressful nights, I have truly enjoyed being a part of staff. Thank you to Marisa Charpentier and Ms. Hale for pushing me to be a better writer. And thank you to everyone for letting me be a part of something great.

I must give credit where credit is due to the two people I could not have survived high school without: mom and dad. I would like to formally apologize for my undeniably hormonal, erratically moody and incessantly sassy teenage self who I know was not always easy to deal with.

Finally, for the people who kept me sane over the years.

Thank you to Lyndsay Hilton for teaching me the true meaning of a love-hate relationship. Thank you to Garrett and Mackenna Heath for being the sweetest twin best friends a girl could have. Thank you to Nicole Ciolino for being my guardian angel. And thank you to my beautiful big sister for giving me a role model. I could not have asked for better best friends.

I always imagined my last day at Marcus as this big crescendo moment where I could walk out of school with my fist in the air as “Don’t You Forget About Me” played in the background. But as graduation nears and nostalgia sets in, I am beginning to realize how much I am going to miss this place and all the people and memories that went along with it. Marcus, we probably won’t keep in touch or stay friends like most high school breakups, but I want you to know how grateful I am for our time together. And when that horribly unpleasant bell sounds on the last day, I might even need a bowl of ice cream myself.

Happily ever after

When I was younger, I used to be obsessed with finding my one true love. Name any romantic movie and I’m pretty sure that I’ve seen it. The Notebook, Dirty Dancing, A Cinderella Story. I can’t even begin to count the number of hours I logged sitting in front of my TV, lamenting the fact that I hadn’t started high school yet and was therefore unable find my happy ending.

I was immovably sound in the belief that by the time I was 16, I would have found my high school sweetheart and be on my way to my happily ever after. You see, I was going to be the shy, quirky girl whose one true love stumbles upon her in some adorable way. We talk. We laugh. We fall in love. Enter in the over the top romantic gesture, and then we would both ride off into the metaphorical sunset (Thanks, Grease).

But by the time I actually got my first boyfriend, my expectations were shattered.

It was all I had ever thought that I wanted. I was showered with good morning and goodnight texts. He gave me teddy bears and candy. I was finally entering my so-called happy ending that all of my movies had prepared me for. But even though he met my (and everyone else’s) definition of a good boyfriend, I wasn’t as happy as I should have been.

It took me up until I ended that first relationship to realize that life is not a movie, and love is not as simple as it seems on screen. Despite what I thought, a relationship isn’t all huge heartwarming gestures, kissing in the rain and being showered with compliments. There are fights and disconnect and a whole lot of awkward moments. Like, instead of that foot-popping kiss at the end of a date, you get an awkward goodbye hug. But that’s not what we see in romantic comedies. We only get a shallow view of what a relationship is, and it gives us false expectations for our own lives.

So, no. There is no one to write in what to say on a first date, or how to feel about a certain person. There aren’t faceless screenwriters coming up with witty banter for me to say, no directors choreographing my first kiss and there certainly aren’t any makeup artists making sure I look perfect at every waking moment. Love is not a specific equation, and life is not scripted.

No matter how much easier it would be to have written directions on how to navigate my love life, I realize now that it’s not possible. Nor would I want it to be that way. If we didn’t have awkward silences and terrible first kisses, then we would lose so much depth in a relationship. You learn a whole lot more about a person when you’re laughing over a shared embarrassing moment than you do when they’re making a public romantic gesture. When I look back at my past relationships, the things that make me smile the most aren’t the flowers that I got on Valentine’s Day or the grandiose “Promposal” that everyone hypes up. The things that warm my heart are the uncertainty before that first kiss and the awkward small talk that we made on our first date. Because when we’re making mistakes and messing up, that’s our personality cracking through. And personality is ultimately what I want in a relationship.

So, although I don’t have a picture perfect love life, it’s okay with me. I’ll take my embarrassing moments and tricky emotions any day because they’re real. I’ll leave the theatrics up to Hollywood.

Breaking perfection

I’ve always been pretty nerdy. In elementary school, I loved writing. No one ever saw me without a journal and a pen. I still have drawers in my kitchen filled with notebooks that have hundreds of small stories scribbled in them with sparkly gel pens.

Then, about halfway into elementary school, students were able to participate in UIL. I found my niche in Ready Writing, where they gave participants a piece of paper that listed some elements to put into a story. No plot line and no assistance. It challenged me to be creative with my writing.

I don’t remember my first competition as much as I remember what happened when I saw the results. My mom drove me up to school during the weekend to view the list of winners posted outside the doors. I went through each name.

Not mine. Not mine. Not mine. Finally, after I read the one that received sixth place and it - once again - wasn’t mine, I started crying. I didn’t feel like I was good enough. My writing wasn’t perfect. The passion I had poured my heart into and loved was a waste of time. I ran back to my mother’s car and started crying even

A change of plans

When I was 7, I had very specific ideas about what I would be like when I was 17. I’d be popular. I would go to parties every Friday and Saturday. My friends would fight over who would sit next to me at the lunch table. I would spend an inordinate amount of time at the movie theater for some reason, or in the mall. Always hanging out with my girls.

I’d have a hot boyfriend who would show me off to all his friends and bring me flowers every day. We would go on romantic dates, and we’d hold hands and maybe even--God forbid--kiss (gasp!).I would be in every single club I could possibly be in. And I’d be the president of them too.

I would constantly be embarrassed by my lame parents because of their attempts to talk to me and my “cool” friends. “Whatever, Dad,” would be my go-to catch phrase.

I’d frequently be grounded, but I’d charm my way out of it within the week with my sweet demeanor.

I saw myself being beautiful, with cute clothes and long curly hair with highlights (highlights were a big thing in 2003, okay. Don’t judge). I would wear amazing make-up

harder. I didn’t spend my free time writing anymore.

I gave up on my passion. It still haunts me to this day.

I’ve done a lot of writing this year on staff, but I don’t feel like anything I’ve written this year has been good enough.

I read over some of my past work and sigh, knowing that I could have done better. I’m afraid to put my all into anything because I’m afraid it won’t be perfect. That it’ll be a failure.

What really is “perfect” though? In the dictionary, it’s the absence of flaws. In society, it’s a flat stomach, or straight teeth and perfect grades. The word “perfect” has beaten unattainable ideals into so many minds. Everyone is striving to be flawless. Yet they don’t see that as a flaw in itself.

I feel as though everyone’s missing out on what life is truly about, including myself. I gave up my passion because I didn’t feel like I was good enough. Life - or anything for that matter - isn’t about being perfect. It’s about trying your best and being happy with what you’ve done. It’s hard to come to terms with. We’ve been told not to mess up and we’ve been told to learn from our mistakes, but we’ve never been told that mistakes don’t equal failure. Mistakes show that you actually tried.

My writing still isn’t perfect. It’s filled with hundreds of flaws (like in this year’s first issue, I accidently wrote “George Washington” instead of “George Bush” and it was probably in my top three dumbest mistakes). But I’ve grown to not fret about everything being perfect. I’d rather strive for something to be the best it can be and to hold imperfections than it to be flawless. Those flaws belong to me. Whether it’s my large forehead, my misspelling or my writing, these flaws are mine.

I think it’s time we redefine “perfect.” To me, the proper definition of perfection is imperfection. What makes someone perfect isn’t their 4.0 GPA or their hair. It’s the mole on their chin or their obsession with rabbits. People weren’t meant to be flawless. If we were, we would all be the same and that would be boring. Strive to be imperfect.

Put everything you have - all of your energy and all of your emotions into what you love and don’t fear messing up.

Because if you do, you can always try again.

every day, like I saw the women on TV wear. Not an eyelash would be out of place. Not to mention my car. It would be a hot pink punch-bug-ee convertible--like my Barbies had. All my friends would be jealous of my pimpin’ ride. Needless to say, very few--if any--of these expectations came to fruition.

While I do have lots of friends, my idea of a “crazy Friday night” is an evening at home with a book and an early bedtime. I can honestly say I’ve never been to any kind of party other than a birthday party. I’ve never tried beer, and the only time I’ve ever had alcohol was champagne at New Year’s, which I spit out.

I’ve never skipped a class to go shopping or missed my strict 10:30 p.m. curfew. I’ve never been late to class or received a detention. The most rebellious thing I’ve done was the one time when I “snuck” out of my house to buy my siblings cake. It was 5:00 in the afternoon while my parents were at the baseball field across the street and I was supposed to be watching my sisters. Sorry, Mom. I have pimples, wear glasses and mascara is too much work. Wearing anything but jeans or sweatpants constitutes “trying” to me. It’s not that I don’t like make-up, it’s that I don’t like mornings and am not willing to wake up early to apply it. My idea of a good hair day is any day when it’s just tame enough that wearing it down wouldn’t offend anyone. Otherwise, I have a skin indent on my wrist from the ponytail holder I use to throw my hair into my signature messy bun.

Perhaps most disappointingly, I never got that hot pink convertible punch-bug-ee. I drive a black Ford Fusion.

I’ve become very comfortable with my looks and body. I know all my friends like me for me--not for my cool car or popularity. And the relationship I have with my parents is one of the things I treasure the most in my life. I tell them I love them every day and I’m proud of that.

The bottom line is, you can fight and plan and try all you want, but life has a penchant for taking what you wanted and giving you something better instead. So as I head off to college--gig em!--in the next few months, I’ll have to remind myself of 7-year-old Sam, and how glad I am that my “plans” fell through.

Freaky and proud of it

Horror struck them as they walked into the dark cave. Jarred animals stretched across the shelves. Soulless eyes stared down at them. One pair being the infamous Patrick Bateman stood up in a corner, ax in hand, ready to pounce. Many would ask what monster lies in this lair.

Well, quite honestly, this is my bedroom. I am that monster.

Many would dub me as “weird” or a “freak.” I have collections that aren’t very common. Instead of coins or marbles, dead animals and creepy dolls adorn my walls. The series Oddities is pretty much my life in a nutshell.

When I was very young, I was like any other girl. I wore dresses, I played with Barbies and I liked to experiment with Mommy’s makeup when she wasn’t home.

However, I was always interested in shows like Numbers and NCIS. I liked to think in the mind of murderers and psychopaths and to solve mysteries. When I was 8, I decided I wanted to be a forensic detective. This meant I would have to be comfortable with death and things that make others cringe.

As I got older, my dad let me watch my first horror movie, Child’s Play, which is about a murderous doll named “Chucky.”

From then on, my interest began to turn into an obsession.

I began buying odd items, like “Living Dead Dolls” that came in their own collectable coffins. Then my collections grew to more morbid things during this last Christmas. While other teenagers got video games and clothes, my boyfriend got me what I thought was the best gift of all.

A pig fetus in a jar. Now I have that pig which I named Buttercup, a shark fetus named Jaws, three shark eggs named Eggscalibur, Eggna and Bruce (from Finding Nemo), a shark finn named Finnsworth and a cute kitten named Patches.

When I moved to Flower Mound, things started off badly.

Most people didn’t understand why I collected these “horrible” things. They didn’t understand my love for what filled their nightmares. I’ve tried to explain why I like the things I do.

“Why let an animal rot when it could be a work of art?”

“It’s a morbid job, but I could bring justice to the world.”

“Do we really appreciate life if we can’t face a little death?”

I thought that being different was wrong because so many people despised what I found interesting. I thought more indepth about death while others only saw the gruesome surface.

I didn’t have any friends when I moved here. There weren’t many people I could relate to. I began my sophomore year feeling misunderstood and exiled.

People started to misconsture who I was. They thought I was a dark person who enjoyed death, murder and animal cruelty. I felt like the misfit of Marcus High. I began to believe I was bad simply because I wasn’t normal.

I liked being unique, but I wanted to be accepted. The judgement from others wore away at my outgoing personality.

I became withdrawn in fear of what others would think of me.

Yet, one class always cheered me up. Theatre. Everyone was a little wacky and very accepting. My first period was full of laughs, and soon I made many new friends that I have to this day. They helped me realize that I am a good person, even if I am a little weird.

My friends encouraged me to be myself and that helped my confidence and personality grow. If most others can’t tolerate me, that’s their problem. I know that there is no one else in the world that is like me.

I fit in in my own way.

I’m unique and I accept it.

Relationship virgin

I think it’s time for everyone to know the truth about me: I am a relationship virgin. Yes, I’m a senior in high school and I’ve never been in a relationship (insert looks of pity, shock and/or horror here). I know what you’re thinking, and, no, I don’t have bad hygiene, nor am I incapable of having a conversation with a boy. So why have I never had a boyfriend?

According to my parents, it’s because I’m just so “gosh darn intimidating.” That may have been the case in middle school, back when I was a gymnast who could beat all the guys at arm wrestling. But thanks to their discovery of supplements, the boys have bulked up considerably in the past four years. As for my personality, I don’t have many enemies (that I’m aware of) and my friends are wonderful, so I must not be too bad.

My friends say that the reason I’m a single pringle is because I’m picky. Well, I like to think of it more as “having a type.” I know what I want in a guy, and it’s evolved significantly since middle school when all I really looked for was a Channing Tatum equivalent, both the “She’s the Man” and “Step Up” versions. Don’t get me wrong, there have been guys who have told me they liked me, but just because I

Turn the page High school. I was going to write about how memorable it was. I was going to write about how sentimental I feel about having to leave. Let’s face it, though. It’s finally done.

It’s as if I completed a four year marathon with road bumps, potholes and opposing runners all trying to distract me, but I finally reached the finish line with support from the people that I am most grateful for in life. So, I thought I would give some (self-proclaimed) advice to underclassmen on how to get to the end successfully and without falling under any of those cliché stereotypical high-school statistics that you always hear about in the news or movies. That sounds so technical, but believe me. This information isn’t going to be.

First of all, put consideration into your schedule. Don’t choose your classes for the entire next year in five seconds with no consideration. Trust me, that is not a good idea.

Even if you do that or choose not to, go into your classes with no expectations. Bottom line, do some research and make smart choices.

Be on the teacher’s good side, right from the get-go.

turned them down doesn’t mean I’ve set an unreachable bar.

Of course there have been guys who have “met the criteria,” but the timing has always been off. I have no doubt there are many amazing guys out there, I just haven’t had the greatest luck at finding them.

Maybe my lack of suitors is due to the fact that apparently, I’m going to be a nun. Although I’ve never expressed any interest in a life of celibacy, I’ve been told multiple times that the nunnery is in my future. It started with my dad telling me that his dream for me was to become a “mountain biking nun,” because obviously that’s what’s lacking in this world. Then my youth minister invited me to a nun convention. Yeah. Maybe it’s a sign. Maybe God is calling me to be a nun. But just because I’m single, Catholic, and a fan of The Sound of Music doesn’t mean I’m ready to spend my life in a convent.

So why am I still single? People ask me this frequently, and I guess I should be flattered, but honestly, it’s insulting.

The reason I’m single is because I choose to be. I know that if I desperately wanted a boyfriend right now, I could change myself or my standards, but I’ve chosen to wait until I find someone who is a good fit for the real me. I’m not saying I’m looking for “the one,” but I won’t waste my time on guys who could never be right for me. Of course, I’ve had my moments of insecurity.

Yes, it can be embarrassing to admit that I’ve never been kissed, and I’ve had more than my fair share of awkward third-wheeling. There have been times when I’ve told myself that Theo James is the answer to all my problems.

But then I remember that he is not really a brave rebel and Channing Tatum is not actually a rugged soccer player.

These seemingly perfect men are not real, and they aren’t going to fix my problems. But even if they did exist, I’m not their heroine counterpart, and I don’t wish to be a fictional character.

So here’s to all the single girls out there, you don’t need to feel insecure just because you haven’t found someone. There are plenty of fish in the sea, so don’t waste your time on a guy who doesn’t appreciate you. I, for one, am confident in who I am. I’m a senior in high school and I’ve never had a boyfriend. I’m a relationship virgin and I am proud.

Don’t think in the short-term of having them for nine or 18 weeks. Any one of these teachers has the potential to write your letters of recommendation for college or for a job, if you show them enough respect and enthusiasm. That’s all it takes, really. The teacher that you least expect could be the one that thinks the most highly of you.

My next words of wisdom are to have good friends the ones who aren’t going to trick you into doing stuff that you’re against. I’ve had individuals ask me to take things or smoke things before. But did I? No. Have some standards. If you don’t, you’re only going to become someone that you’re not sooner than you think.

I am totally willing to admit that I may not have a lot of “school spirit” I didn’t attend a ton of football games or basketball games or anything like that. As a high school student, this is your last chance to have freedom before you attend college in who-knows-what town, without the stress of a bunch of difficult classes. If there is a band playing in Dallas that you want to see or an art show or a festival, go for it. If you want to go to every football game and school function, do it. Live with no regrets because once you’re out of here, you can’t go back and live it all again.

Don’t let anyone try and tell you how to live your life.

Don’t be afraid to try different things that the school has to offer. In high school, I was on bowling team, in band and on newspaper staff. I always choose to try new things and learn new things. I accomplished so much, such as winning awards and meeting new friends, through all of these organizations. If you’re willing to try and put in a little effort, any club at Marcus is willing to have you. There’s everything here. Where else can you find organizations like Cinema Club and Unicycle Club?

High school was definitely more of an adventure than I thought it would be. It seems like just yesterday that I was a freshman, trying to figure out what high school was all about. Now, I know. You’ll meet amazing people, hilarious teachers, have crazy substitutes, and experience the quickest four years of your life. So, make the most of it and have an excellent time.

Start of something new

I was sprinting up the left side already out of breath.

Receiving the ball, looking for a pass, I chipped it perfectly to the back post for my teammate to tap the ball into the net for a goal. This is how I imagined spending my high school years - on the soccer field, kicking and passing until I graduated. I started my freshman year, believing “soccer player” would be my role for all four years. I thought it would be just like it is in High School Musical. But it turns out, I did not stick to the status quo.

Unfortunately for me, high school was nothing like a Disney Channel movie, I had my fair share of obstacles. One was becoming sick with whooping cough freshman year. Yes, I was the reason for the letter sent home to parents saying someone in school had whooping cough. This put a pause on my soccer ambitions. Although, I overcame my illness, I started noticing odd aches and pains throughout my body that I hadn’t had prior to the illness. But I didn’t think much of it at the time.

Sophomore year I was healthy again, except for an occasional twisted ankle. Playing soccer for Marcus became some of the best high school memories. I enjoyed the musical bus rides the entire team belting out Pitch Perfect songs. And by junior year, I had nearly perfected my soccer skills. That was until November.

I woke up one morning and my knees were so swollen that I couldn’t walk. The unrelenting pain was worse. I wanted to use something to cut the pain out. My knees were red and hot to touch, the only comfort I had was Aleve and a heating pad.

My first thought was I had an injury playing soccer, but after a few weeks, the same problem gradually worsened. After a blood test, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is where the body’s cells attack one another at the joint.

No cure has been found yet.

I missed a total of 25 school days that year. I was in such pain that I cringed until I found a comfortable position to sit in.

The pain was so bad, I sat in the corner of class holding back my tears so my classmates wouldn’t see. Due to this new disease, I had to stop playing soccer, the sport I had played most of my life. The sport I would give up my summers to play in the sweltering Texas sun for. The sport I could not imagine leaving.

I spent a number of nights crying to my mom, wishing, pleading for this pain to go away. This made me feel so useless and alone.

With the support of my family, friends and even a therapist, I was able to emotionally accept the fact that soccer was over. I also learned who my real friends were, those that stood by me and always offered to help.

My senior year, I chose to become a part of the newspaper staff after I saw how much my friend Hailey enjoyed it.

Newspaper proved to be my new role in the “High School Musical” of my life.

Today I am on the right medications and sometimes even forget I have arthritis. When I joined newspaper in August, I was still bitter about having to stop playing soccer. But I found a new passion -- photography and design for The Marquee.

Newspaper has given me a new purpose, provided me with more friends and memories than I could have imagined. I even got to meet John Travolta. I am the the definition of how life changes when we least expect it to. And, hey, don’t forget “We are all in this together” (cue music and dancing with Zac Efron).

Ain’t it fun?

Kady Kohankie

As my alarm goes off at 6:40 a.m. on a beautiful Monday morning, it finally hits me. I’m no longer a kid anymore. I’m a full grown adult--a college student out on my own. I’m alone in my own apartment that’s just a couple blocks away from Brookhaven College. Getting dressed, I grab some coffee and cereal. Heading out to my first ever college class, I’m excited and scared at the same time. I have ASL first, Biology second and Psychology to end my day.

By 2:47 p.m. I don’t know what to do with the rest of my day. At home, I would be cleaning

Forever in my heart

In early 2008, my sister dreamed of her upcoming June wedding to her high school sweetheart. She’d wear a flowing white gown, while walking down the aisle on the arm of our father. Her wedding was only six months away, but that dream soon changed. My father was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He was 46. The planning time was cut short. To make sure he was in the wedding, he took her down the aisle in early March because we were not sure he would be here in June.

That was the year my family would never be whole again.

My dad was always the one to gut the pumpkin the night before Halloween so I didn’t have to stick my hands into that gooey mess. But no longer would I have the Halloween pumpkin carving, my Saturday morning visit to the donut shop in my pajamas and the trips to the car dealerships with him driving around BMW’s all afternoon. All of it would soon be over.

All my life, I had been a daddy’s girl. I was always by his side, laughing at his cheesy jokes, smiling when he surprised me with shirts or keychains from his travels. I was unable to think I would have to grow up without the greatest role model I ever could have imagined. However, I soon realized that our time together was coming to an end as the doctors visits became more frequent and the hospital was like our second home.

Five months later, his cancer spread beyond the treatments’ control. There was nothing left for the doctors

The Marquee May 29, 2014

something or watching my little brother. I realized that I’m finally on my own, and have to make my own choices, to do something with my life. I couldn’t go back to my parents if I was having trouble. They might give me advice, but they wouldn’t tell me what to do like they used to. I would have to do that. There is no turning back now. No parents making sure that I’m awake, or having my Papie make me breakfast in the morning. I had to do that now. I had to be the adult, which could be either scary or thrilling. I was fully in charge of my life, but one question remained: am I ready to have my own life in the palm of my hands? The answer is: I’m still doubting myself.

Suddenly, my alarm goes off again at 7:35 a.m. reminding me that all that was a dream. I’m still in high school. Ten more days until Mr. Shafferman hands me my beautiful diploma and my parents cry. There is nothing more that I want than to have my parents stop treating me like I’m a little child. I want them to let me be an adult, to make my own choices. I wish to leave this town. Don’t get me wrong, living here for 13 years was fun, but I want to go live my life, create my own life.

Nydia Henry Glass, Watson Kohankie, you have raised a pretty good child. You have tried your hardest when you both were single parents. Dad, you sent me to France when you didn’t have to. You bought me a car when you didn’t have to. Mom you always put me and Jake first. Now it’s my turn. Let me try in this world. I have all these dreams to leave and live on my own, but that time will come. Let me explore it, make my own mistakes, my own heartbreaks, my own failures, my own positives, my own life.

to do. He could only enjoy the very short time that he had left. He then went home on hospice care. Each time I looked into his eyes, I knew we were slowly losing him. He stared back at me, unaware as he was slipping into his own world.

In August, most kids are playing outside by the pool. I was inside making my dad sweet watermelon popsicles and sitting by his bedside, feeding him. All simple functions were gone. He wasn’t even able to get out of the hospital bed anymore without someone to carry him to the bathroom. He had become just skin and bones in a matter of eight months.

Then, after we had lived by his bedside for a week, one day the hospice nurse asked us to leave the room.

Five minutes passed. My aunt came out, looked directly at me, choking back the tears. It was in that instant that I knew. She came over and hugged me as we both fell to the floor with the tears streaming down our faces. I could see my wedding, the birth of my children without him there.

For a while, I still tried convincing myself it wasn’t true.

That he was just away on a business trip, or when I got home from school he would be sitting in his office chair, waiting to hear all about my day. But each day I ran home from school, I found myself sitting across the room staring at the empty chair.

After his passing, I forced myself to remember the laughter rather than the heartache. Soon, all I could remember were the happy memories I had. Like the time he took the red oven mitts and imitated a lobster across the kitchen.

I am proud to call him my dad. I may always wonder how life would have gone had he never gotten cancer. With the loving support of my family and friends, I know now that life doesn’t end when tragedy strikes. No one knows how long you have on this earth. The death of my father taught me the importance of living life and embracing everything it has to offer. Although I am no longer able to see him, I still believe he is watching over me as my guardian angel. Six years later, there is not a day that passes that I don’t think of him. As I graduate and head to San Marcos to start college, he will be with me.

As a little girl, I always dreamed of wearing that gorgeous white dress, just like my sister. I dreamed of walking down the aisle with my father on my left arm and slow dancing with him after the ceremony. But even though I know he will be missing from the family photos, I thank God every day for the time I did have with the man I feel lucky enough to call my father.

A Marine’s girl

People in the Army are soldiers, Air Force is Airmen, Navy are Sailors and Marines are Marines. Marines go through the toughest basic training, consisting of 13 weeks of complete hell. However, Air Force, Army and Navy are only subjected to nine weeks. Even though all branches are different, each is very honorable and deserves the highest respect.

My boyfriend is a United States Marine. We met at school when we had U.S. History together the first semester of our junior year and started dating a few months after. I knew he was planning on joining the Marine Corps but never thought our relationship would escalate as it did. He left for basic training on March 24. Before he left, we decided we would stay together because the both of us just could not imagine not having each other in our lives. We have been through some of the toughest situations that really tested the relationship. But we never left each other’s sides even through the ugly stuff.

The life of a Marine girlfriend is full of tears. It’s having to put a smile on just to get through the tough days. It’s full of waiting and holding on to every letter. It’s always keeping your phone right next to you at night just in case he might get that five minute phone call home that usually won’t come, and if you miss it your whole body goes numb. It’s having a countdown app on your phone and always looking at it. It’s tons of people who think you are crazy. It’s constantly worrying if he is okay and missing holidays and important days to the both of you. It’s ignoring the negative comments from other people. It’s missing him so much you are not sure how you can go one more day without him, but you just keep fighting. It’s checking the mailbox every day and knowing exactly what time the mail lady comes to the house. It’s finding things to keep you busy throughout the day whether it’s cleaning, working or being with friends and family. It’s people asking you if you’re okay constantly.

But it’s not all bad. I am beyond proud of everything he does.

Missing someone helps you appreciate the small things in your day that make you happy. Having a faithful relationship and trusting so much in one person makes the rare communication hurt a little less.The amazing feeling I get the moment I receive the letter I have been waiting days to get is indescribable. I get overly excited when I know there’s only a few more days until he is coming home. I love knowing there are people who love and support the both of us.

I am always thinking about the future and what it could lead to, good or bad. I will go through old pictures on my phone and watch my favorite video of him acting stupid that makes me happy and want to cry at the same time. I will set aside time every day just to write him a letter. When listening to songs that explain your situation perfectly I may tear up, but it also makes me really happy at the same time.

Even though our relationship makes for cute pictures, it’s not easy. Others have to realize that I will hardly ever see him, but the time I do get to see him overpowers any amount of time spent apart. I have to be strong and set my focus on what I want, not what others want me to do. I have learned to keep my friends close because they are what keeps me going when he’s not here. I chose this life, and I am willing to stay by his side as he becomes one of the world’s greatest fighting machines. I could not be happier to say I am in love with a United States Marine.
