The goal i have in life is to be famous. The reason i pick this goal is because i don't see my self as a ordinary person. I'm a star and i'm goin to show the world. My passion is modeling and acting and thats what i want to be famous for. I want people to who i am a multi-talented young women. I want to do it all. I also like to be a famous journalist which ever one get me where i want to go will be find with me. I want to be a person who gets up in the morning and love where she's going and doing. Thats why im going to work hard so i can be able to have that chose.

There was a time in my life where i was in a relationship and i didn't want people to know, do to the fact i was known for not letting a relationship tie me down. So we would be in school and i would act like we didn't go together, when others was around. I wouldn't give him a hug nor act like his girlfriend. By trying to keep my status made him mad. He would say he's tired of putting up a fort when others are around. So it was breaking us apart and i didn't want that. Beside the fact of my status i really liked this guy. So i had to make a chose, lose him or my status. I chose him. Just like Lloyd and LeAlan in the book Our America. They wasn't allowed to show how smart they were do to the fact they always had to act hard. So they had to hide it. Plus people assumed they were dumb just because they come from the projects. It really mad them think and see how people in the world judge others before they get to know them.
