Michelle

My name is Michelle and I am a seventeen-year-old senior in high school. I live a not-so-exciting life and spend the majority of my time on the computer either playing The Sims 2, surfing random websites, or messing around in Photoshop.

I have grown up living with both of my parents and my two siblings. Yes, my parents are still together; a rarity in today’s society. My sister, Katie, is sixteen years old, just thirteen and a half months younger than me. Zachary, my brother, is fourteen years old. We have two dogs, a seven-year-old yellow lab/german sheppard mix named Charlie and a three-year-old chocolate lab named Maggie. We also have two hamsters, Mike and Mister.

I graduate from high school on May 27, 2006. This scares me because I don’t feel old enough to be finished with my mandatory schooling and having to grow up. I plan to go to Siena Heights University next fall. I will be majoring in Biology and specializing in Premedicine. After I am finished at SHU I plan to transfer to The Medical University of Ohio for Medical school. I have a long road ahead of me but I am somewhat ready for it.

After I receive my medical license and settle in to a job in the emergency department of a hospital, I want to settle down. I would like to get married and have three or four children. I don’t know if things will look out like I plan but I sure hope so!

I have three wonderful best friends: Carrie, Amanda, and Danielle. Amanda is currently pregnant and she is due in early June. When I first found out, I was disappointed. I realized, though, that being disappointed would not change the past and I couldn’t be angry with her. I am going to be there for her and she plans on having me be a big part of her baby’s life.

Carrie is my “ghetto” friend. She is loud and outgoing, two qualities I don’t possess. Her and I have a lot of fun hanging out. I can tell Carrie pretty much anything and I know she won’t judge me.

Danielle is my annoying best friend. While I love her dearly, some of her habits make me want to beat her. I love her just as much as I love Carrie and Amanda, though. Danielle used to be just as introverted as I am but the past year or so she has really come out of her shell. She’s not quite as loud as Carrie but she’s not as quiet as me.

In the spring of 2003 I was diagnosed with OCD and depression. I have been taking Zoloft for both and it helps somewhat. I wake up every morning in a good mood.
