Biography: I was born a Jersey Girl, and lived there my entire life, until Lyco. My parents seperated when
I was two, since my dad cheated with his secretary. My mom found out Christmas Eve and he left, only to move in with his girlfriend, the
secretary. I grew up with my mom, in and out of different schools since I was in special ed. due to dyslexia. I worked hard to overcome it,
but had to work even harder overcoming what I dealt with in school every day from other kids. I was never a popular kid growing up, so I
stuck to myself most of the time. Middle school went by ok, and high school was bittersweet. I started getting criticism from not only my
peers saying I was fat ugly stupid and bitchy, but my dad as well. I stuck to myself more than ever, never saying a word to anyone unless
I was asked something by a teacher. The only way I ever had any emotional release in high school was through performing. It eventually paid
off when I got to perform Carnegie Hall in NYC at 17. However things took another dip downward. Stress built up with crappy SAT scores,
and trying to get into college. My dad and I especially fought over that topic. We still do. I got sick senior year and nearly died since
I had diabetes, which was undiscovered up until that time. I was released two days before graduation, and spent my last summer getting ready
for Lyco. Things have completely taken a turn around for the better for me since I have arrived. Well, almost. Problems with my father
still exhist, and get stronger by the day being he doesnt approve of me being here. Matter of fact, I just got off the phone with him
earlier tonight about how my grades arent where they should be, and what are my plans for when I flunk out. Geez first off, a 2.9 isnt
flunking out. What a way to support, right? Anyway, besides that things are wonderful. I have fantabulous friends, and a very supportive
boyfreind who I feel very blessed to be with. My mother and step dad (she remarried when I was 9) are also extremely supportive, and have
made me what I am today. I have them to thank. Health isn't ship shape, but hey I'm alive so can't complain. As for everything else? I'm
planning to graduate in 08, probably more like 09 tho thanks to the ed., blah, and work in a hospital once I've graduated. By that time I'll
hopefully be engaged and well, who knows. So, ta da! Theres my bio.
