August 15th
August 15th has had a special significance for me for the last four years. This is the day I got kicked out of may parents house, just one day before my 18th Birthday. I know it seems kind of odd to celegrate getting kicked out, but I considerit to be one of he greatest things that could have happened to me. Since then I have been free of my parent's control and learned what it is to be happy again. I can be friends with who I want. I get to have my own opinions, choose my own hobbies, watch Disney movies, and be the person I really am. These things may seem simple to most people (and I suppose they are), but these were things I could not do in my parent's house. So, I guess what I am saying is that August 15th is my own little Thanksgiving for the simple freedoms I enjoy. Also, I am pround of how far I have come as a person since that day. That may sound conceited, but it is true. I was scared, shy, and didn't know how to stand up for myself. Ithink that anyone who knows me well will agree that I have learned not to care as much about what others think and when i need to speak-up for my own good.
