I am Unique

Stress is my middle name, really its Nicole, but it should be stress. I stress over everything. I thought that being a freshman would be easier for me since I actually wanted to be in school. This is not true. If anything for me it makes it worse because I started out last fall just wanting to pass and now all I want are good grades. I try to achieve every goal that I attempt. Of course, achieving every goal of mine doesn’t always happen. This is where my family and friends come in.

I am girl, who like any female, loves attention. When I need attention the most I turn to my family and close friends. I love my family and the friends that I have. However, I have a hard time making friends that last. I don’t usually seek out girl friends. I find woman are very hard to trust with anything. When I find a good friend I try my best to keep them around. I have known my best friend since I was eight. It takes a lot to get in my circle of friends but once someone makes it in, they are usually there for life.

My husband is the most important person in my close knit circle of family and friends. It doesn’t take much to start an argument between the two of us but we make up just as quick. Marriage was a big adjustment for me. If I could tell any teenager that really wants to move out something, it would be to be careful what you wish for. My husband and I don’t have the usual relationship, we kind of switched roles. I have come to the conclusion that cooking and cleaning are two things I will never be good at. Luckily for me, my husband is a great cook and he is particular about the house being clean so he usually gets to it before me. I take full advantage of this.

Besides loving my family and friends, I am completely in love with any animal that lives and breathes.I try to stay away from the dead ones. I have depression issues and I find that my animals no matter what always want to be with me. I am an equestrian. It is probably what I am most proud of because it is the one thing that I have stuck with. My one and only horse was given to be when I seventeen. His name is Lightning and he is my over grown baby boy. He is the only horse that I will ride. I am afraid of other horses. It is kind of funny because he is the “wild one” that no one else wants to ride. I had a bad accident when Lightning was two and it took me falling off again in April of 2006 to regain my confidence. I love him with all my heart. He has taught me everything from responsibility to heart break.

I am also a traveler. If there is somewhere to see, I want to see it. I have been to several places that other people may never have the chance to go to. I don’t always like the places I go to but there are, all an experience. London and New York are two places I really don’t care for. I often joke that the only good thing to come out of New York is my spoiled dog. My husbands’ father bought her for me on my first trip to New York. Two of the places I love to visit the most are Destin, FL and the island of Belize. My husband and I go to Destin at least two times a year. There is so much to do there from jet skiing to taking a ride on an old wooden rollercoaster. Belize has a wonderful rainforest that they allow you to walk through. During the walk there are multiple caves that can be explored. I love exploring almost anything.

I am unique and I love being myself. The people that understand me are the ones that are close to me. I am outspoken when needed but not always confident in myself. Confidence is something that I lack. I care for others often more than they know. Even though I am not always confident or happy, I am glad to be me and I know I have a lot of things to be thankful for.
