I met her about 4 years ago. I had just moved to my new school in Sleepy Hollow. It was probably my 4th or 5th new school so I wasn't really nervous at all. I remember thinking that I would just talk to everyone and be everyone's friend so that everybody likes me. That made me gain a lot of friendships but also lost those same friendships only a short time after. However, I managed to keep this one friendship. Nicole, a weirdo but I love her. When I first met her, she was quiet and shy. I became her friend only because I thought I should become friends with everybody. But I also used her. At the time, I was going through something very big and I was hurt and confused by it. I didn't know who to talk to so I always turned to her. I would talk and sometimes cry to her, she would listen, and I would leave. I was a jerk. I didn't value her the way I should have at the time. I still can't forgive myself for it. Now, she is my best friend and someone I can't think about losing because it would just hurt too much to the point where I don't think I could bear it. She is not the same as she was before. Now, she is loud and has a whole group of friends. She has changed a lot from when I first met her and so have I, but I don't think that our friendship will be closing any time soon.

I knew I had to make at least one friend when I came to a new school. For this school, I chose Eileen. She is a very kind hearted and childish person. However, she can also be very distant and selfless. I find it nice to see that Eileen acts her age, she's not missing it. We are still in our childhood and I don't take advantage of that, but she does and I find it great. I find it easy to talk to her at times when I need someone to talk to, which is something hard for me to do. That's why it's an honor to be her friend. She's a great person.

I love music. That's the simple way of saying it. My way of saying it is. Music is a way of communication for me. It's a way of expressing myself to other people and a way for me to understand someone else better. I'm not sure when my love for music blossomed but I know that my older sister had something to do with it. I said before that my sister and I started getting along after a few years of being together but I didn't quite explain how. Music. Music was what truly brought us together. We would sing songs together at any chance we had, whether we were singing bad or good, we were doing it together. That's why music is such a rewarding thing for me. It is something that brought me together with my best friend. I love to analyze the lyrics of some songs sometimes, when the song came out, at what times the lyrics came on with the music. Did a certain lyric come on in a minor or major chord, what is the meaning of it? I love to do that. It makes me understand people better and it makes me feel more comfortable with my feelings.

Fun. Olivia is a very energetic person, which I envy a lot. It's a good thing to be friendly and crazy sometimes. Again, I have only met her recently but she is a very nice and kind friend and I hope to continue to be friends with her for a long time to come.

Amusing.  That is the word that comes to mind when I think of her. I find it hilarious when she gets defensive. It is very amusing. Though I have only been talking to her recently, I can tell she will be an interesting friend to have. She is a really bright and funny person. Though at times she can be a bit over dramatic but through it all I love her very much and can't wait to see her get annoyed again.

I don't know what I wanna be in the future. I don't have a dream. However, I know that I wanna be something big. The day I die, I don't want to be forgotten in less than a year. I would feel like I didn't accomplish anything. Right now, I am working really hard  to do that in the future, I don't want to cram everything I want to do, in one go. Today, I want to know at least five languages, I already know four, or at least I'm learning. I know English, Spanish, and am in the process of learning Korean and Italian. The fifth one is to be determined. Today, I want to know at least 5 instruments. At the moment, I am learning piano, violin, guitar, and electric bass. I am more advanced in some and a starter in others but nonetheless I am learning. I love to learn, that's why I find it really hard to know what I want to be in the future. I have a lot of ambitions right now.

I am from Ecuador. I was born in brooklyn, NY. I have lived in brooklyn for the first 9 years of my life until I moved to a small town called Sleepy Hollow. Then finally, I moved to Brewster last year. I used to visit Ecuador almost every summer but I don't visit so much anymore. In fact, I haven't visited Ecuador in about 3-5 years. However, it's a beautiful place to visit. The sights are amazing and beautiful.

I have one older sister and one other younger sister. Only recently, my mother gave birth to my younger brother. It was a change and an adjustment but I was happy and excited. All my life, my family has been surrounded by women/girls, I was scared of trying to take care of my little brother whenever my mother needed help. However, I was and am always delighted to spend time with my brother, even if he won't remember those times when he is older, I certainly will. My older sister is such a nice person, though often she is misunderstood for her intentions, me and her could never be pulled apart. However, it wasn't always like this. When I was born,  I already had a nice loving family, and one enemy. My sister, what a devil. She would pinch and yell at me when I was younger because she truly, purely, hated me. She believed that I was taking all the attention from her and she wanted me gone. I grew up sort of hating my sister as well because of that. She would pull my hair and I would pull hers. I loved her, but I didn't know how else to communicate with her other than doing the same things she would do to me. Now older, I have a really good relationship with my sister, I can talk to her and feel comfortable. We might still fight at times but about 5 minutes later we are singing and acting like crackheads. I also have a younger sister, I love her but we and her don't get along too well. I have very little patience and she is very annoying so someone can easily see how we too collide. I am the middle child so I do my own thing o a lot of the time, however, I am extremely close to almost everyone in my family.

In my life, I have changed schools a lot. I am 13 years old and I have changed to more than 5 schools so far. I used to be a very interactive and friendly student who always liked to meet new people and figure out how diverse my environment was. However, I lost that in me because of my constant change in location. I stopped talking to people and trying to make a ton of new friends because I no longer saw the point in it. I still am like that, but I'm doing just fine. I'm not saying that I don't have any friends and isolate myself from the entire school, I still manage to keep some close friendships with some people that I know and that I once went to school with. I have good grades and good friends. I enjoy learning about all the barbaric and out-of-this-world events that took place in history. I enjoy learning about all the equations one can use for one single problem. I enjoy learning about how this world has evolved to become the place that it is today. Literature, I enjoy that too. How to express oneself in so many words. It's blessing. I enjoy learning and that is who I am in Henry H. Wells Middle School.

I am a daughter to a divorced couple. In my early years, I remember feeling left out a lot. I am a middle child so I guess that is a given. I felt isolated a lot but my parents never gave me the idea that I couldn't do whatever I wanted to do or be whomever I wanted to be. Looking back at those times, I now know why I always felt alone. My father, though not the best father, was a good person. He was there at times, not there other times. However, through it all i managed to still have some communication with him now. My mother, is a person that is just such an angel. My mother was always there for me when I needed it. I knew that I could always go and talk to her. There were times when it was hard for me to do so but I always knew I had to choice. My Parents filled in the divorce papers when I was about 9 years old. I won't go into the full details of everything but I still have both of them and I'm thankful for that.
