Who are you?

I am Emily Powers. My favorite color is orange. I am going to go to UNI for college. I can speak French. I am 17, 18 on May 4. Nothing special yet, but I plan on making an impact on someone or something before I die.

I want to go to UNI to go into social work or counseling. I want to go into this field for many reasons. For one I always wanted to make a difference in someones life. What better way than to help children or adults in their struggles in their life. I either want to be involved in with the kids who's parents are alcoholics or help kids with disabilities. I want to help kids with their parents problems because I have had to have someone help me with my dad's problems before and it was very inspiring to me. Also I've always wanted to be involved and help kids with disabilities because I believe that everyone is special and we all have something we are good at, we just have to find it.

I have been taking french for four years now. Sometimes I wonder why I am even in that class because I have a terrible memory and I am not good at learning a different language. Then I think if I've made it through 3 years I can stick the fourth one out. I am excited that I took it though because now in the summer I have the opportunity to go to France with some  of the students in my class. I am super pumped to be able to go to France and learn more about their culture and visit all the cool castles and monuments but mostly I am excited to shop in Paris because they have excellent taste in clothes.

My values are nothing special either. I do believe in God but I wouldn't say I'm religious at all because I don't go to church a lot by any means but I don't think that should define if you believe in Him or not. I believe that everyone has a place in life and that everything happens for a reason. I believe that we accept the love that we think we deserve and it doesn't matter who loves who as long as they are happy with themselves.

I am shy person if you don't know me very well. Once you get to know me I am very opinionated and I would say that I take a lot of things to heart and get hurt easily. But I won't show my feelings to many people even if we are close. I don't like for people to see me when I am vulnerable. I don't like attention and my face turns bright red even if I'm just talking to my friends. I am more outgoing when I am with my step sister and I feel more comfortable around people rather than being by myself but at the same time I'm not good at being around a bunch of people that I don't know.
