When I first left Woodbridge VA and moved to Fredericksburg VA it was a really big change for me. I lived in a townhouse when I lived in Woodbridge, but when i moved to Fredericksburg I lived I a big white house with navy blue shudders and a really big backyard. The only thing that was different to me was that every thing was just bigger. you don't even understand how many memories I have in my big white house. When I first moved there I met this really cute guy named Jerimaih (my first crush) and his family. They were so cool and nice, they really reminded me of the people in Woodbridge. It seemed like Jerimaih lived at our house. At the time me and my brother Anthony were very close. she we both were pretty close with jerimaih. Taught me a lot a cool things; he taught me how tho do a back flip off of a very big play house.

I have three brothers and i'm the only girl in my family, so its been a little had growing up because i've obviously the smallest in my family. Me and my oldest brother Roc fought ALL the time (mind you he is 8 years older than me). The reason why me and my brother Roc fought all the time is because we have the same personality's but he's a lot more rude. He would chase me around the house until he would get me and put me in a submission move and tickle me and hit me. When he would do that I would fake cry so he would let me go and i would run away from him and get shoes and throw it at him because that was the only thing I could do. Roc would scream so loud and id laugh until i ran out of shoes.

Cousins
When I was younger me and my cousin Morgan were really close. Every summer I would stay a week at her house. We would always cook desserts and make dances from songs. Morgan and I were only 4 months part so we had the same interest in things.. Like boys, lol? Morgan was always a lot thicker than I was; I have always been very boney and small. We would always talk about how I would love to have her legs and how she'd love to have mine. Me and Morgan aren't close Anymore but I wish we were close like we used to be.

One of the things that bother me the most is when you know that someone is very smart but they act dumb around others because they think it makes them look cool. Like there is this girl on my volleyball team that always acts so dumb for no reason at all. One day this girl asked me "Why do you look tan?" and I know shes seen my black dad. I know this girl is really smart because shes helped me with my homework many times and shes in 9th grade and i'm in tenth.
Also, I just think that is an insault to other people who isnt that smart.

I looked in me email account and I saw that I got a casting call. The first thing that i did was buy me a pair of high heals. They say when you go to a casting call you have to have a pair of high heals and tight clothing she so the judges can see your body shape.I went to Payless so i can get me a nice pair of cheap new high heals. The first thing that I did when I got home was practice walking in them ,so I could do good in my walk.

When I went to my interview the people loved me so much but even though my walk wasn't as good as I wanted to be but I still got my call back though.

When I was younger a lot of people would probably call me mean. To be honest with you, I really wasn't that much of a mean person I just spoke my mind a lot. Say you asked me if I liked your outfit and I really didn't like it I would tell you how i felt about it and a lot of people couldn't handle that. I remember when i was in middle school and this girl kept on talking loud and she wouldn't shut up, so i told her to be quite and she got in her feelings and she said "then do something about it," so I did I pushed her and she ran away. But I also liked to argue with people all the time to because I always knew that i was going to win, and guess what I always did.
Although, when i went into high school i knew things like calling people out and trying to fight them wouldn't cut it here. I knew I needed to grow up and learn how to hold my tongue. I do believe that i've gotten better but I still have enough room to improve.

I was a pool monitor for my first job. I got paid eight dollars an hour; I literally got paid for doing nothing. The only things I had to do was check the chlorine levels and things like that. It was the easiest job. I would literally fall asleep in the sun.

When I was young me and my mom weren't that close but me and my dad that's a different story. When I was young I was the biggest daddy's girl in the world. If you would of told me that I looked just like my mom i would of gave you the biggest attitude and tell you that I looked just like my daddy. Me and my dad would always try and make my mom jealous, I would be hugging an my dad and my mom would say alright and smile nd she would get my little brother and they would do the same as us because my brother was a very big mamas boy; he was the baby.

I truly believe my brothers kind off made me they way I am today. If it wasn't for my brothers i probably wouldn't be as tough as I am now. When I was younger I hated my oldest brother (maybe because we kind of had the same personality) he is also very rude. When we'd fight he would chase and then beat me up and i'd fake cry and then he'd let me go and i'd through shoes

my best friend is debora, our friendship is like a sock and a shoe ! our best memories are when we are together.
one time we went to a soccer game.. el salvador vs. honduras.

I remember when I was younger I used to want a baby when I was 16 like the people did in the olden days. I was always that kid who would try and help the mom with the little baby's. I remember when my little brother was born I would always ask my mom if she needed any help; My mom always called me Jayden's little mama. When I started to become a teen I was like I would never want to have a baby at 16;I haven't even lived my life yet.
Also, one night my brother brother asked me to watch my two week old niece over night and I said yes; she woke up five time during the night to drink and poop "her night and days were mixed up," it was so hard, I'd rather just wait to have a baby.

This sound just like my mom. My mom is a VERY SMART lady. She always had great grades in school. My mom has always wanted to be a teacher; she even started to go to school for it but she had Anthony when she was twenty so she had to get a better job take care of him. My mom just always tells us to wait to have kids so you can follow your dreams.

When I lived Palems Crossing I always would see things disappear in the corn field. Palems Crossings is a old battle ground.
Once, my brother say Jayden say a guy in a old battle uniform in our dinning room that looked like my eldest brother ( he says ). Jayden was SO scared. He was making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and he looked over and started to scream " what did I do to you" and jumped on my mom and started to shake. We all felt so bad for him; he couldn't sleep for a week.

I remember when my family and I went to the Halloween hunt at kingsdomion, there were clowns every where and my little brother (Jayden) is terrified of clowns; every time he saw one he would run and lay his head on my moms chest.
Also, I don't know why he went into the clown maze with my cousin and I. The pore baby was so scared, he would hide behind me and he would try to run out the maze backwards but the clowns kept on telling him " wrong way ". When we finally got out the maze he sprinted to my mom and started to cry on her chest

Linoleum Roses is my favorite chapter in the book because I can kind of relate to her. I know I'm young but I was in a VERY serious relationship when I was in 9th grade. I loved this kid so much, like I never knew you could love someone like I did "at least not at my age." Me and him went threw everything together. He was just a very controlling person; when I wold want to go hang out with my friends he would fight with me so much to where I wouldn't even want to go anymore. When I was with him I went through at least 2 depressions. I never could understand how you could love someone so much but but not feel happy when your with them.
I might have not been scared like Sally was but I know how she feels.

I believe these three ladies were angels. I always like to think that there's someone helping me through life and just watching over me.
I believe everyone has a/many guardian angels. Like my father, he was driving on the highway last week with my Nina's car. The front tire bands snapped and the car went out of control but nothing happened to him ..... I believe it's his grandparents watching over my father because some many things that should have killed him didn't... Because of his angels and god.

I moved out my favorite house in Lee Hill to the house I hated in River Meadows. My old house in Lee Hill was the best house ever, I had so many friend in the neighborhood and they house was also very huge. So when I moved into the other house I hated it because I didn't know anyone in the neighborhood, I didn't have anyone that was my age. The house was very nice but it never felt like home to me; I don't eve really remember me having fun with other kids.

"No, this isn't my house I say and shake my head as if shaking could undo the year I've lived here."

To be honest with you, I'm so scared to live on my own. You are always seeing all these women being raped, killed, or abducted. I swear I refuse to live on my own. I'd rather just stay with my parents until I get married. Just the thought of being own my own just terrifies me to the point where I don't even know if I want to go off to college. I just don't want to leave my parents.
