On the first day of school, whether it's in english class, or in homeroom, we're always told to write a short ABOUT ME. And i remember always starting with "My name is Simone, and i am half-french, half-thai" - i thought it was the most interesting thing about me, other then that i would freeze for over 10 minutes, thinking... what's there to say about me? Being a 10 year old, i would go on about my dad being a chef, my constant moving to different countries.. and into the teenage years, i would talk about my dream of working in a magazine company. (that, i still want to do). But here i am, at 20. Ready to write a complete ABOUT ME.
here goes;
ABOUT ME
My name is Simone Camy, yes, we know that.
I am your ordinary teenage(i still count being 20, a teenager) girl, i go through the same thing every girl goes through in life. I don't have a special power, or deep story.
Infact, in the eyes of most of my friends, i am the party-pooper, the 'mother' of the g

roups, or anything else that relates to not being as exciting as a teenager should be. There is a reason for it, and i am not proud of it, but i am proud to have become who i am now. I mean, yeah, i would love to throw my arms up, and be so carefree. But, i am have a blast in my life even being careful.
As for all girls, i have been through a best friend breakup, betrayal, and everything possible has probably been thrown at me, and a few years ago, the worst. But, that is when i woke up. I depended so much on people, i have always been the kind of person that wants to comfort of people around me. And, i was brought to a point, where i was left with no-one to turn to, nothing left, and i realized, it was time to depend on me, on myself. I am in control of my own choices, my own life.
When i picked myself up, i ran into so many opportunities, and my family was my biggest comfort group.
I am a high school failure, i flunked every subject except for French and English, and i was not able to get into any college until i did a crash course, in order to get to where i wanted to be. Man, high school, i was so confident, and so carefree, i didn't realize the opportunities i had crushed on my own. The pain i made my parents go through, having to see the look on their faces when i failed all my subjects. But, they still gave me a chance. And now, i am trying my best to make up for it. I will make the proud, and not take this chance for granted.
I wouldn't call myself the perfect person, i have so many flaws it's uncountable, but i do have a great family, a boyfriend who relates, has been through the same struggles and the support we have for each other is strong. I have been given the chance to do so many great things, somedays, i still take it for granted, but today i finally realized, I am lucky.

So, my name is Simone Camy, i am a striving college student, in dreams of working for a magazine company one day, i am you're average teenager addicted to the internet, music junkie and trying to adapt to a healthy lifestyle. ( at the rate i'm going, i might even be a gym junkie).
I don't know where i will be in 10 years, or even next year, but where ever i am, i know it'll all be for the best.
This is a little about me.
Now, i wonder what my 6th grade teacher would've thought of this as my ABOUT ME paragraph!
