Where I Stand
I am Rachel Trezoglou. I understand already that my Greek last name is hard to pronounce my last name. My dad is a children’s pastor at an Assembly of God Church and because of his job I have moved twice up and down the east coast. I have had blue hair before but yet I am not thought of as weird. At first, I am shy but when people get to know me, I am here for people to confide in. My parents always tell me that I have a good head on my shoulders because of my maturity. I have taught a 3 year old Sunday School Class Before. I am a seventeen year old girl that drives a blue (mind the rust color) Plymouth voyager mini-van. Out of the 4 children in my family, I am the first to apply to a 4 year college.
I like to always do my best. Usually teenagers my age don’t like going to school, but I do because I like getting my work done. I find myself accelerating in math because I enjoy following steps and procedures. I listen to music frequently and I love it because it influences my moods and my days. I like public speaking because I enjoy explaining things better than I do when writing. When I am able to communicate easily with my friends, I can become more open. I am fond of being with close friends and having no plans. I particularly like just lying on my floor and talking to my best friend. My favorite hobby, though, is going somewhere I’ve never been before and taking pictures.
I believe that I will go places in the future and I will see the world. I know whatever I put my mindset to I can accomplish. I know with the good grades I receive I will be able to go to any school that has the study major. I believe life should be lived to the fullest. I know that I have grown up within my past four years of high school and I am okay with that. I have changed into a person that I really like and I have developed a wisdom that no one else has because it is mine.
I do not care for people who make careless mistakes. I feel people do not have to be severely strict with guidelines, but if they are going to do a job, then they should do it correctly the first time by following directions carefully. I do not like laziness because lazy people are not going to get anywhere; down the road they will be upset. I do not ever want to be like that. I do not care for messiness. I take time out of my schedule or wake up just to clean my room because I feel like I can not focus in a disorganized room.
I am tired of moving. I do not want to have to make new friends. I know the experiences were life lessons that I will always have but I do not want to have to readjust to a new school or lifestyle anymore. I am tired of not getting any sleep. I make schedules all the time and try to follow them, but when I do, I barely get any sleep because I have to fit everything in and complete it. Studies still say, every teenager is supposed to get at least eight hours of sleep, but that precious time is cut because of my busy life.
I favor straight teeth, and I appreciate braces. I had braces, like most kids do, for eighteen months. Now I have straight white teeth that I really do love. I favor change in people, mostly in myself. I love watching myself alter. Within the last year of high school, I have finally realized that I probably will not be as close in distance to any of the people I am friends with now and keeping in touch will become hard. I will keep the close friends always a phone call away but I don’t know what will become of the other friendships. I do favor working things out because I once was told, “Whatever doesn’t kill you just makes you stronger”, and I believe in that saying. The strong bond that was made, is evident in my two personal friendships that I have.
I feel upset knowing that life has gone by fast in high school and already this year I’ll be eighteen. I am sure that life will get better than I already know it, even though sometimes it will not prevail. I will grow up, get more sleep, and work more hours yet still I will be a little part of the real original me. I can already bet that I won’t be able to write all the words I ever want to write, but I will try my hardest to open up more. I will not judge before meeting others, because I was not made to judge or be judged. I will be always scared of what will happen next, but still I have to life live to the fullest.
