Summer-sault!

Hello World!

Guess who it is? It's Judy, that's right, the new me. The motivated, happy, giggly, confident, fun, silly, weird, caring, wild child that has been locked up in a high tower waiting to be rescued. But you know what? I got tired of waiting so I decided it was time for me to find my own way out.  After 4 years of hiding behind the window curtains, I grew tired of asking for sympathy and attention. I refused to be a victim of middle-child syndrome or live up to my stick-thin Asian girl stereotype.  I jumped out of the window and scaled the tower wall ready for my adventure.  I met a nice red-head half way down the tower but I decided that I did not need rescuing and he decided that he wanted someone to rescue so I made a new friend and continued down the tower wall.  Once I reached the bottom, the floor became much more stable.  I found my dear friends, Alex, Sofi, Macy, Jessica, and even Natalia waiting for me not knowing that all along, they knew I would somehow get out of that high tower.  Together, we walked down the Rose Heath aisle, diplomas in one hand and flowers in the other.  [I even got a little rebellious and switched the position of the flowers just so I could hold hands with Jena as we said our final high school goodbye.  Although, we were only paired up because of height, I couldn't have asked for a better person to walk by my side, none other than our own Senior Class President.]  I gathered up all my knowledge from these past years and I continued to walk on towards the summer and straight to the Pacific Beach where  I fell in love with the salty ocean air and the cool breeze that moved with me wherever I traveled.  I walked and walked and ran and walked absorbing all of my surroundings during that one glorious week, never forgetting that I was ready to g out into the world and make an impact on the lives of others.  I brought along a change of fashion and one of mind, might I add, and I became the new me.

Now it is time to continue my journey.  Although Alex, Sofi, Macy, Jess, and Nata, my beloved group must spread throughout the different regions of California, we are all still in Cali and we have all agreed to share in each others' adventures.  From now on, I promise to do what makes me happy, so long as I also make those around me happy.  I vow to maintain my confidence and motivation as I walk off my extra layers to fit into a size small bridesmaid dress.  I agree to be nothing but myself and I look forward to the obstacles, but more importantly, adventures that cross my path.

Hello, again, World and lookout because Judy is here.
