A Little Deep

The one thing no one can take away from us is our identity. Our identity makes up who we are. Our name, our personality, our appearance, our interests; the differences between each other. People know us because of our identities. For starters, my name is Emma Pickering and I am sixteen years old. I live with my Mom, Dad and my two siblings. I am finally a senior at Our Lady of Lourdes, having a hard time accepting that this time next year, I'll either be starting my future career at university or working diligently for university the following year. Over the four years I have had at Lourdes, I have made enough memories to last life time. So many aspects of high school, have given me a better sense of who I am, and who I want to be. The friends I have made here, know me better than I do, and often I cannot believe how similar we've become. I don't think I would be half the person I am today, without my crazy friends by my side. On a less sappy note, 99% of the time my friends and I are chirping each other, I love to dance, eat, watch 90210 and Gossip Girl. I have a pretty basic life, but I often wonder about what I could be doing instead of sitting in front of a computer or TV screen. I have such a desire to travel and explore what else is outside of Guelph, I am leaning towards a job that involves travelling and really being able to understand the world. I am interested in a job involving English, History and French, because I am thriving at these subjects, and loving them the most. I am very eager to see how this final year at Lourdes shapes me into someone ready for my future, so I can discover more of who I am, eventually being without my family, old friends and a comfort zone. I want this year to be like no other year I've had before. Cheers to my first of many blog posts, I'm excited for not only my readers to learn more about me, but myself as well.
