Hi. My name is Jessica. I live in Eureka, CA. It's a pretty tiny town, but I'm begining to like it here. I have had this journal for a while now, I just haven't known what to write, because my life started getting into a really scheduled type of life, so I would have started to write boring entries, and even though this is supposed to be for me, I wanted to entertain people, as stupid as that may sound or does sound.
Not long ago, actually almost a year ago, my uncle got diagnosed with cancer. Cancer of the colin, and cancer of the liver. That changed my life entirely because, it made me extremely emotionally, even more then I already was. I kind of shut down, and didn't really talk about it, I just cried. I soon came in touch with the horrid feelings I was having with it, and told myself that I would be positive about it becuase I knew that God would help him through it. Anyway, it changed my life because I then realized exactly how fragile life was. So I said that I was going to be positive, and be real.
I stopped coming online a lot, and started focusing on my school work a lot more. I knew that my junior year was going ot be really important because colleges would look at this and my senior year way more then my freshman and sophomore years. So I grew up. I matured, I started taking things more seriously. And perhaps, may have fallen in love for realy. Then, almost a month ago, my grandfather got diagnosed with Leukemia. My family was shocked entirely, and I don't know how I'm going to deal with this. Right before Chrsitmas break my english teacher gave us an assignment to do on one of our interests to research. I wrote down tons of ideas, and then my mom said, why don't you research blood donors and bone marrow donors, so that's what I'm doing. I'm dealing with this better now. Plus, he's doing the best he can the doctors said, way better then anticipated.
I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. I want to go to a good college. I want to be something that I want to be. I want to love going to my job everyday. But mostly, I want to help people. I want to be a writer, I love writing, but I don't know if it's a logical career. I want to be a lawyer extremely bad, but I don't have the grades to get into a fantastic law school. I want to be a psychiatrist or psychologist.
My life is different, I may not be that interesting. but I please myself and all my friends.
I'm done now. But if anyone would like to volunteer to make me a layout, I would love it, something grand, and worth while. I'll give you all credit, no problem.
-Love Jess
