duty to god, page thirteen, requierment nine.

this requirement asks me to sum my life up in five hundred words. i'm not quite sure how to go about this, how hard it will be, or what to write really, but i'll try my best.

i never thought that my life has been all that interesting, however there are some things that i feel worth mentioning. a lot of work that went into my life was being diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a cancer related to the nervous system. very very many priesthood blessings went into those two years of my life. fortunately, i don’t even remember all that treatment. for my parents i believe it was a real testimony and good trial for us both. i think when i was young that i never liked math, and never learned to like it since. so anything involving math, science, chemistry, and even technology, i wish i was good at. too bad i was lacking in that area. but i definitely get more satisfaction out of other things. In elementary school, my mother said i was always a problem with the teachers. i even remember mrs.mckellip telling me to call my mom and tell her i did something wrong. don’t remember exactly what it was, but i remember that fear i had going to call her. when i had a horrible score on a mad-minute i also threw it away, in hope that the teacher would just forget about it or something. wow. that basically sums up my childhood, elementary years, my personality at least. i always thought in middle school that it was cool to be like everyone else, or dress like everyone else. and i even went for that idea, hardcore too. i was probably even popular for a bit too, or, “popular”. funny how some people still have that mind set in high school. how frustrating. haha. now, i’m senior in high school, and i really can’t wait till i can get out and start growing up and meeting new people. i have four siblings, two older than me and two younger. i love where i placed in the family. i always wish i had a little brother, but sometimes i don’t. my main interest in life right now, are people and music. both of these have played a big role in my life so far. i think it’s very interesting to see why people do things and why they choose to live the way they do. that’s what my father does for a living. i always thought it was weird to do what my father did, but i keep finding out how much more i am like my dad than i thought. i think he probably knows me better than i know myself, which can be scary thought, but even more, comforting. some of my future plans include serving an lds mission. which i am oh so excited about. even when i get called to nebraska. come back, and start college right away to earn a degree in whatever i am going to do. i still don’t have a clue exactly what i want to spend the rest of my life doing. somewhere in there i’ll get married too. i think i have been very fortunate to grow up and accomplish what i have so far. my life hasn’t been too interesting, and i probably didn’t sum it up as well as i could, but i’m excited to make it more interesting as i go.

bam! 542 words, what an over-achiever. ok, not really, but thanks for reading. and you should do it too, even if it's for a duty to god requirement or not.
