Who Am I

I am Lauren I am 17 years old and a senior in high school. I could never live without my family and friends. I love to shop, tan, be with my friends, eat, and sleep. My life is spent either doing school stuff or working in the Little Pats room or at the JCYS. On the weekends I absolutely spend every second with my friends because I love every single one of them so so much. My second set of friends, "summer sisters", are the most amazing people in the entire world. I have spent the entire summer with these same fourteen girls since I was ten. I could never imagine not having any one of them in my life. The biggest influences on my life would definetly be my Mom, Dad, and my Aunt Amy. They have made me the person I am today and have taught me that I am able to achieve anything I put my mind to. My goal in life is to go to college and eventually become an elementary school teacher.

Last week in Sociology we learned about silence and how awkward it can be. I believe I am the queen of awkward situations because they happen to me daily. I hate awkward silences and pauses, and I usually just laugh when something is awkward. My mom always tells me that something is only as awkward as you make it, and she's right. One of my many awkward situations deals with when I had gotten into a fight with one of my friends. We went out to dinner to talk it out, the entire dinner was staring at my food until finally I decided we needed to speak or this dinner would've become pointless. Awkward situations happen daily, but they are only as awkward as a person makes them.
