Life and Times of Lady Cheetah

Your SO COLREe

2011-03-24T18:45:00.000-07:00

Hi! Today I went to a special doctor to tell me what is wrong with me. The verdict was that I am very bi polar, ADD, with a little OCD. I told some close friends and they gave me a funny look. They are so rude. Not all but some. I am not making this up because I wish I was. Reading this you might think that to be bi polar you must have high and lows and I (Christiana YEager) only have highs. I am a good actress regardless of my theatrical skills. I have been having these crazy lows for two years. I would do anything not to have them. I feel like I have a violent case of turrets. This 'thing' I have causes me to often say awful things to good friends out of the blue for no reason. I wish I could control it. I usually can. I hate my dad. I told him that I was going on spring break to New York City with the Coppolas and he said he would pay for half of the trip. I finally got money I earned and he says now that he never said it. Sorry Amanda. The last thing I said was, "Okay I understand that you will take back your word, but at least admit to it." I was standing on the stairs to the basement and he came in it too, turend off the lights, and slammed the door. it was dark. I hate him. Hate is a strong word. But there are no positive things to say about my father. He is rapidly losing weight and I think hw is anorexic. He comented to my mother about how skinny he looks now. Col. Warren got mad at me today. Remember, I love you.

Fat Ass

2011-03-22T20:45:00.001-07:00

Hi! Mom, are you really THAT stupid? I have been listening to you and Grandma Remy's phone call for the past hour. Dad really called me a 'fat ass'? This explains why you, MOM AND DAD, refuse to buy me a prom dress. Everything makes since. Because I am not a stick, like Ashton, I don't have any rewards. You buy all of the other children the things they need, but you can't even look at prom dresses with me. Fat ass isn't going to prom. People think that I am making up this stuff about depression. I can't stand living here in this house. No wonder Ashton calls me Fat Ass. In my family it is all about physical features, not true beauty or academics. Dad, I love you. I have a beautiful heart and that is all that matters. In times like this I depend on my future to get me through the present. Remember, I love you.

I Hope All of Your Dreams Come True

2011-03-22T19:43:00.000-07:00

Hi! Your doing it again. You started doing everything I did and it really bothered me. Then it stopped and last night you started it again. It is really starting to bother me. Please stop. Be your own person. On other news, my Grandma Remy has donated money to the Christiana Yeager Foundation of Poor Teenagers. Now I will be all set for Spring Break. It isn't that large of a sum of money but it is the amount that I needed. We talked on the phone for an hour and I love how supportive she is of Saint John's. Georgia State story. I was somehow accepted. I never sent in all of my scores let alone finish my application, but somehow I got the accepted student application. My father skipped around the house and began telling people that I am going to Georgia State. I casually asked to go on a college visit. So we did. At first I was excited, except the fact that I was starving because it was Ash Wednesday but I kind of felt like a soldier for God, to see this school my father was so excited about. Notice the word choice in the previous sentence, was. The tour was late and it was totally packed. The tour guide is majoring in Speech and Communications and could not talk using proper words and complete sentences. Everyone noticed and you could see people snickering. She also skipped a lot of academic qualities of GSU. She pointed out the popular LIBAWY (library) conveniently located near a Waffle House. Apparently someone doesn't go to the libawy very often. The school is in a very scattered campus in a not so good area. To the bright side it has a great 'gym' with rock wall and pool along with amazing dorms. But that is no reason to go to a college. On the way home me and my father sat in silence until I asked him about what he thought about the school. His reply was, "I just don't see you going there. Your too smart for that." I could tell he was disappointed and this, to me, was when he realized that I can't go to school in Georgia. Since then my father hasn't said anything about any Georgia schools and has been suggesting that we visit the city (NYC!) soon. I almost feel like the battle is almost over, but we shall not rejoice yet. Keep this in your prayers please, also keep my Grandad (mother's father) was just diagnosed with cancer. Next story: Passes. My fathers is given eight discounted airline tickets a year called buddy passes. They expired last week and on Tuesday my dad decided to give the remainder to me. Diana Navarro and Maria Beck are going to visit this summer. I am so excited to see my loves from Indiana in my new environment. I asked a few people and only one random person. I asked Jillian Eifrid who was my best friend from seventh to eighth grade to go to New York City with me this summer. Might be random, but if I didn't ask her it would bother me forever. In grade school I knew where I was going in life. We made a pact to go to New York City one day. Maybe she will visit me in college, maybe not. I still asked her and I did my part. She thanked me for the invitation, but declined. I hope all of her dreams come true. Whenever we would write each other anything we would write at the end of the letter, 'I hope all of your dreams come true.' I hope her dreams come true and I hope yours come true too! Final comment, MY ALLERGIES ARE KILLING ME AND I AM NOT RECEIVING ANY TEXT MESSAGES. No biggie. Have a great day, achieve your goals in life. Remember, I love you.

2011-03-20T21:19:00.000-07:00

Hi! I always do this. I get bored of my hair. It was too much for me. I paid my friend to cut it. Don't get me wrong she did an amazing job. Too amazing to say the least. She did exactly what I asked her to do. I shouldn't of had her thin it. I mean I basically only asked her to thin it, but I mis it. I thought I wanted thin long hair and you just can't do that. It is still the same length, but because of all of the layers, it looks very very short. Next time I get bored of it I should just color it red or maybe get a new hobby. I feel like screaming. I do love my hair and it might have been time for a change. It looks good now, I just am not used to it yet. Remember, I love you.

I Skip School

2011-03-19T16:19:00.000-07:00

Hi! Last Thursday the AP Economics class had a field trip to the Fed in Atlanta. Afterward we went to this amazing Italian resturant called Antico. It is an expensive pizza place and so a lot of kids chose to eat at Burger Kind instead. Against what I wanted we got the special cheese pizza. It was amazing and when we we were finishing a nearby table offered us the pepperoni pizza they didn't like. I adored it and ate up as much as I could. Even our teacher and supervisor gave us some. After we headed back to school. We were under the impression that we could go home while they okayed it. After we arrived at school they waved goodbye and all of the kids walked to the cars. Only four kids stayed there out of about thirty for after school functions. The next day I found out that we ALL might get two days of ISS. We were all charged with skipping school. The teachers said that the adults who took us said a few different stories and that all of the kids had the same story. They decided to only give us Saturday school. If we had the ISS punishment then a few kids, when it came to college, would be screwed. I am interested to see how this will all turn out in the end. Remember, I love you.

I Like A Different Specie of Boys

2011-03-19T15:49:00.000-07:00

Hi! The other day I was out to eat with my friend Astin Solomon and her boyfriend. He said he could 'hook me up' so I humored him and asked to see a picture. He showed me a picture of very ripped abs. Where is the face? I turned down the offer immediatley and laughed. He asked me what was wrong with the picture. I explained to him. I am not really into looks at all. I like charming and smart guys with great personalities. Dumb hot guys that are douche's are not attractive to me at all. I plan on marrying a very weird and intelligent man one day. Remember, I love you.

Real Lordy Earrings

2011-03-19T15:26:00.000-07:00

Hi! Last year I was outside the church with my friends and we saw some small beautiful flowers. Me and Chrystina Tyler came up with a beautiful idea. Using my ears Chrystina put the flowers in my earring holes. I have never worn more beautiful earrings. Try it sometime. This was one of those little memories that makes me smile. Remember, I love you.

Nursing Home

2011-03-19T11:28:00.000-07:00

Hi! I have always had family members in the nursing home. Most of it for my Grandma Mary. Grandma Mary was a great woman but I could never just stay in her room. I branched out. There was an assisted living section of the nursing home and there was a two room suite I would go to. I had a bag of toys and my mother knew where to lick me up. There were to crazy old woman who lived there and we always had fun things to do. They once lit a candle on the ground and we cut some paper in a swirl shape almost like an accordion. The paper above the candle caused it to twirl in a circle. One day they suggested that I bring my things home, soon after they were gone. So I chose a new person. It was an older man who collected cases of dead butterflies.One day my mother told me that I would not be seeing him anymore. After that I was too depressed to find a new friend. I began to come up with games. My favorite was playing ninja. The object of the game is to not have anyone notice you. You crawl, roll, and sneak around people. It is a lot of fun and I am very upset that I am too old to play now. My favorite part about nursing homes is that they have canaries. Whenever I visited my grandmother she would always insist on giving me food there. I do not recommend nursing home food. A few weeks ago, while I was in Florida, my great aunt fell so we had to put her in a nursing home. She is at a point where she could die in her sleep any moment. My Aunt Debbie began to cry and said how awful it was. I asked, "Is it really that awful? Personally she is living the dream. Her death won't be painful and she will soon be with my friend Jesus. She will be with her husband and with everyone else in we know who have died before us. Only when we die can we ultimately begin to live." She told me I was right and that that was a funny way of putting it. When I was younger we had to write a mini-paper about our lives so far. I wrote about my life so far then I went on. I wrote about being succesful and at 35 how I got married and at the age of 93 I died in my sleep. My parents thought it was cute. Personally, my great aunt is living my dream. Never forget to keep her and others who are about to begin their lives with Christ in heaven in your prayers. Remember, I love you.

Prom: Time Being

2011-03-17T16:59:00.001-07:00

Hi! Every girl dreams of her prom throughout her life. When I was in grade school I was reading my Seventeen magazine and I saw it. You know how people say when you see the perfect wedding dress you just know? That is how this was. It was so unlike me but I just got that feeling. It was a powder blue taffeta dress with a blue ribbon under the breast. The brand was Betsey Johnson. I jokingly asked my father if he would ever get it for me. He said that for my senior year I could get any dress I want and the price wouldn't matter because he wanted his baby to have the best senior prom she could. Over the years I continuously asked him about the dress and he always said of course. Last year I picked out a dress, forget what it looks out, and asked my father again. He said that it was not my senior prom and that he would pay half of whatever I wanted. I was going through my depression and for reasons unknown I didn't go to prom, therefore no dress. A few weeks ago I asked my father again about the prom dress. He said I could get anything I wanted as long as I paid for half. I don't have any money. When I get money I have actual important things to pay for, looks like I am not going to get a traditional prom dress. Surprisingly I was looking forward to having one normal high school experience of going to prom. No money and I will never let a boy pay for anything. So I decided to go proming. What is proming? I buy a beautiful, short, slutty dress, get a guy friend and go to prom without spending any money. No fancy dinner, bus or car, or crazy pictures. We go to prom, then half way we go to Mundy's Mill prom, after we go to Atlanta to go to a REAL dance. I am excited and I am pretty excited. Here are some dresses I am looking at. Probably get the black and white one from Windsor. Short, tight, and cheap. I hope you have a great prom. For the time being the date I have is one hell of a beautiful person. God will be my date. Remember, I love you.
xoxo,
Christiana Yeager
p.s. I can only afford the black and white one. The others are nice to look at. The red and blakc one is very similiar to the dream dress but it was shorter and powder blue!
p.s.s. I want something fierce and crazy. Haven't found the perfect thing yet.
p.s.s.s. Anything I put on always somehow looks slutty... I should be fine all to my father. Evil

What is the problem?

2011-03-17T15:21:00.000-07:00

Hi! I have a problem. Whenever something is bothering me I eat. Not an extra meal, but I binge eat. Binge eating is when you eat so much that you can't eat anymore almost to a point of puking. Lately I have gained a lot of weight. Truth hurts. It started when I moved to Georgia. Something bothers me and I need to figure out what it is and how to fix it. I feel it building up inside of me and I cannot control it. There is nothing going on in my life that could make me this upset. I need to stop eating. I also need to figure out what is wrong. My feeling work faster then my brain. When I know the problem I will tell you. But it just might be the lack of sparkles in my world. Remember, I love you.

p.s. New haircut! Same length. New style. Layers. Not thick anymore. Took it for granted. Will come back. Love!

Mother Oak Knows Best

2011-03-15T14:26:00.000-07:00

Hi! This past weekend I went to Universal Studios. While we (Me, Daisy Montez Helm, and Sydney Stanifer) were waiting for their spray painted attire I insisted that we walk around to look at the different clubs in the area. As we headed over to Latin Fever I saw a young Hispanic man and we had a "moment." I told my friend and she looked back at him. He was still looking at me, I thought, "Heck, he's decent, so why not?" So I turned back and smiled. Daisy suggested taking pictures in front of the Latino club and then in front of the Universal sign. He then walked over and asked if he was in the picture, Daisy said no, he then put his arm around me and said that now he could be in one. We talked for a while when, out of no where, he pulls out a huge plastic bag filled with huge stuffed animals. He gives me a stuffed dog. We continue talking when his friend (who has a stuffed bull bigger then him) asks me if I want the bull. I say no because I am already trying to figure out a way to get rid of the dog. The boy then takes out the dog again and asks me if I want another stuffed animal. Again I say no. Now Daisy and Sydney begin to ask for a stuffed animal. They both get one and Daisy also get's the large bull. At this time we say our goodbyes and we head back to get the painted attire. Coming just as they are finishing Daisy's hat we learn that everyone is waiting for us on the bus. We meet up with Mrs. Ruane and we tell her the story above. She asks to look at the picture and 'congratulates' me on the win. I guess once your a coach, your always a coach. We then head on the bus. As I walk on my coach asks me, "Why are you so lat... How did you get that stuffed animal?" All I say is a friend. As Daisy nears the bus everyone sees the huge bull. Now everyone gets excited and everyone is looking at me asking me what type of friend was this. As I am walking down the isle the boys begin saying, "Atta girl Tri Tri." Did I mention that I was very confused? When Daisy gets on the bus she begins raving about how hot this guy was and she told them the story. Then Tri asks to see the picture of the boy because all anyone has heard about this boy is about how 'hot' he is. I never said he was hot but Tri's answer really made me mad. She looked at the picture and without barely looking at it she retorts, "Ew my God. You think this guy is hot? (Talking to Daisy) This guy is crusty." At this everyone begins to laugh. I feel like she said this mainly to say the opposite of what Daisy said but this really made me mad. The guy hit on me and while she might not have tried to be rude, it came out rude. That was a very disrespectful comment she made. Yet, I am still such a nice person and I can't hold a grudge. I guess Mother Oak knows best. Maybe he was crusty, but she had no right to be disrespectful to me. Remember, I love you.

p.s. I was the only girl hit on during the whole trip. Thought I could mention that.
p.s. s. At least Ms. Ruane thought he was cute.

Crocs to Toms

2011-03-13T19:20:00.000-07:00

Hi! I was in seventh grade when it happened. I realized that I needed the new "IT" shoe. I purchased the Croc. Now everyone wants the TOM. Both shoes are equally ugly. Be unique and buy a different pair of shoes that are cheaper and more fashionable. Go out and serve the shoe goddess respectfully and don't purchase TOMS. Yes, they have a good cause. In replace of that just donate some money. Have a spectacular TOM free day. Resist the social pressure of getting the hideous shoe. Remember, I love you.
xoxo,
Christiana Yeager
p.s. How many children (let alone children in need) have you seen wearing TOMS? Could be a scam...

Harry Potter World

2011-03-13T09:04:00.000-07:00

Hi! I went to Orlando, Florida this past weekend for a track meet with my school. For now I am going to tell you about Harry Potter World. My first impression was amazement. My immediate second impression was disappointment. Why were there so many muggles walking around Hogsmeade/Hogwarts? I looked at everything and then I insisted on leaving. You could hardly enjoy it because there were so many tourists everywhere. While we were waiting for some people I tried on my new school uniform for Hogwarts. I felt so beautiful. I called my father to purchase the robe on his credit card. I got a hell no as a reply. Fathers, don't appreciate uniformity these days. I then headed back to Harry Potter World. This time there was more room and you could actually enjoy it. The line was also about 400m shorter. Earlier it went to about half way into Jurassic Park, so it was pretty bad. We waited in line for a very long time. But It didn't bother me because there were so many Harry Potter memorabilia that you almost wanted the line to slow down. So we took a lot of pictures in line. When we finally got onto the ride I was absolutely amazed. I can't even tell you about it because I do not even know where to begin. Basically during it you fight many different magical battles, see Hogwarts at an ariel view, and fly a broomstick. At the very end after we defeated the last dementor we were heading back to the front of Hogwarts when everything went silent. Then we stopped moving. The the lights came on. We were stuck on the Harry Potter ride. With the lights on I could now fully see how the ride worked and you don't even move that much, it is more visual effects then anything, but you would never know. We dangled in the air for about ten minutes and took a lot of pictures before it began to work again. It stopped working at the end of the ride and when we got off (thirty seconds later) I complained how we were stopped for such a long time. They apologized and we were on the next ride, again. We had the Harry Potter experience back to back and it was amazing. During it I realized that I really belong in the Magical World of Harry Potter. Not some touristy one, but a real one. When we die we all go to a happy place. My happy place will be where I relive my childhood growing up at Hogwarts, I might not know Harry Potter but I will have my own adventures. Until then I will enjoy the life I am given now. (My other happy place is in a Pokemon world where I can finally be a REAL Pokemon master.) Harry Potter World is absolutely amazing. I can't wait to one day go there in my uniform and eat a meal in the Three Broomsticks (they had the coolest most peculiar food there.) No I did not have a chance to drink butter beer. I didn't being a single dollar to spend on the trip so I didn't buy anything. Some people burned through SO much money. Not me. Remember, I love you.

Random Bleepin' Weekend

2011-03-09T14:49:00.001-08:00

Hi! Last summer I went to Nicaragua and I met Rafeal Torres, also known as RJ. RJ and I instantly became very close and we never stopped laughing during the whole trip. The second I came back to the country (a whole day after him) I already had a text from him. Since the first week of last summer me and RJ texted continuously. I fly for free and we would always say how I should visit sometime. Last Monday during our weekly conversation we decided that I was going to visit that weekend. We do this a lot so this was not out of the ordinary. His next text had his mothers name and his home phone number. I thought, "Why not give it to my mom? It isn't like my parents are not going to let me go." Less then twenty minutes later my mother told me that I am going to be going to Cincinnati on Friday. I thought any day someone would tell me that it was all a joke. My mother told me that I was taking the late flight. Got there for the first one after school and was immediately was put on the plane. I could not believe it. I got off the plane and RJ told me to look for his friend Jeff. I was carrying a lot of bags and Jeff went to shake my hand but I had too many things. At first I thought he was a 'douche' but as I was soon to learn, that is Jeff. We went back to RJ's house and we all talked. Jeff and RJ are absolutely hilarious. Jeff soon left while RJ and I were soon heading to the club. I had never been to a club before so this was a first to me. His parents didn't even care. We were gone for hours and it was a great time. It was Mardi Gras night with people on stilts and people handing out beads. We finally stopped dancing for a minute when I realized how tired I was. I slept in the next day. When we woke up we spent a few hours catching up and talking about our lives. Then me and RJ saw a movie the next day called 'The Adjustment Bureau.' It was incredibly amazing. Go see it now. Afterward we went to the mall and walked around. I found the loveliest dress at H&M but it was too short and my butt is rather large for it.I also found a fur leopard hat which I wish I would have bought. I did buy a long sleeve flannel green shirt with my gift card from Abercrombie and Fitch. We then met his mother and his sister at a really great Chinese restaurant. I absolutely adore RJ's mother. She is one of those people with a beautiful personality. SHE TURNED DOWN GEORGE CLOONEY. Sorry, he is kind of a mini-obsession of mine. I couldn't get it out of my mind. We then went back to his house where we talked to his friend Jeff and another unknown male. We had a 'hell' of a time and then they went out to another friends house and I decided to stay at RJ's house. I called Eddie and we had a great conversation. Then I went to bed. I woke up early the next day, woke up RJ, and he took me to the airport. After he dropped me off I realized that he still had my ID from the club. After I got it back I headed back home. I had a great weekend and it was also one of the most random trips I have ever had in my whole life. Remember, I love you.

The P Word

2011-03-06T13:11:00.000-08:00

Hi! I have a funny slash sad story. A few weeks ago my dad asked me to transfer some documents from my brother's memory stick. As I was playing around with it I realized that it was actually my long 'lost' stick. I told my father and he said that Ashton needed it more then me. So I gave it back to him. Last week I needed to bring some pictures to put on the projector in class. I went into my brothers room, grabbed his (MY) memory stick, and uploaded the photos I needed onto it. When I got into class I got everything set up to present my presentation. My teacher plugged in my memory stick and the whole class began to snicker. I looked at the screen and I saw the title of one of my brother's documents. He titled one of his documents PENIS. My teacher gave me a puzzled look as I explained that the memory stick was my brothers. Good thing he knows who my brother is because I could have gotten in a boat load of trouble. Phew. Trouble averted. My brother is a bad egg. Remember, I love you.

Character Analysis

2011-03-06T12:20:00.000-08:00

Hi! I have been thinking about this lately and really wanted to go in further depth about it. A few months ago I wrote about how when I read a book I become part of the story. I usually reflect the attitudes of the characters I am reading at the time. You see, being someone else sometimes is so much more fun. Right now I am reading (very slowly might I add) a book called Crazy Love. It is a great book about finding yourself and strengthening your own relationship with God. Lately I have been a happier version of myself. I really enjoy reading this book. When I read books about sadness I suddenly become very sad. My favorite part of a book is always the part of it where they state the title of the book. I don't know why that really tickles my pickle, but it does. I also always over analyze the characters and the plot, making many assumptions about what will happen in the end of the book. I am really beginning to crave orange juice. Go drink some. Remember, I love you.

Pickle-ize Me Please

2011-03-03T16:22:00.000-08:00

Hi! This is a story I had forgotten then was reminded of it a few weeks ago from my best friend Diana Navarro. Pickles have always been a food I have liked. The first human food I had ever eaten, I have always enjoyed them. The first time I had one I was at the beach with my parents just a little after one years old and they were not paying attention to me (WHAT WHERE THEY DOING? (; ) and I began eating them. I grew up surrounded by baseball and when I was younger every game I would go to I would get a pickle. Well, me and Samantha Williamson would get them together. Her and I grew up together at the baseball fields. We would ask for our usual and they would always ask us why we got them. Our answer? "A pickle a day, keeps the doctor away." We were the biggest pickle consumers. During middle school most kids got peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Not me! I got black tortilla chips, a bottle of hot sauce, and (drum roll please) a pickle tortilla. Right not you are about to Google what a pickle tortilla is. I will save you time (because it doesn't really exist) and tell you all about it. A tortilla smothered with pickles, hot sauce, and meat of choice. It was scrumptious. I liked it a lot. I bet you would too. Try it. Bring it to school. Then lick the bottom. I dare you. Back to the story Diana Navarro told me, just wanted to give you a little pickle history. Okay, well Freshman year no matter what was for lunch I would always get one whole section of my lunch tray over flowing with pickles. People would sometimes take a few of mine so I would have to fill TWO parts of my tray. They said that it would be weird for them to get pickles and not have anything in particular to put them on. I think not. One day they finally asked me, "Christiana, why do you get so many pickles everyday?" Why? So I told them, "Because pickles make your boobs grow bigger." At that comment they gave me the "up down" (definition below) I followed their glances and I said, "Any day now they're gonna just explode out of my body." I still eat pickles and I am still waiting. Go out and serve the Lord, eat a pickle. WARNING: The sweet ones are not so delicious. Remember, I love you.
xoxo,
Christiana Yeager
Definition of the "up down": verb; to look someone up and down judging them
p.s. The picture is REAL! (Actually I can't even joke about that. THAT my friend is the definition of disgusting. But I have eated so many pickles that that jut might end up being me someday!

In the Shower

2011-03-01T19:39:00.000-08:00

Hi! In the shower I thought of this. No matter where we go people are always going to judge us. It is up to us to forget about them and live for ourselves. Why try to impress someone who doesn't matter. Be happy who you are because (LADY GAGA) Baby, you were born this way. Remember, I love you.

Hi! Adele is amazing. Her voice is amazing yet not spectacular. She doesn't do any crazy riffs or hit any high or low notes. She has this amazing way of controlling the notes she is singing. I still have her free iTunes song HOMETOWN GLORY. Listening to it now and it is still amazing. I think she is a great singer and like a little black dress she will no go out of style. Her first CD was titled 19 when she was 19 years old. Now her new CD is 21 because she is 21 years old and it is absolutely amazing. Go buy it. Now. Seriously. My favorite track is Rolling In The Deep. It has a great beat and a great meaning. Remember, I love you.

Hi! Whenever people ask me what my favorite song is I tell them "You've Got the Love" by Candi Stanton. It a gospel song with a touch of techno. What wouldn't you love about it? I love the meaning too. Look within your fabulous self and find God. This song is also the last song played in the final Sex and the City episode. Makes me cry when I see/hear it. Why does it make me cry? THEY FIGURED IT OUT! People think the show is about woman who need men and just have sex all the time. Wrong, the show is about woman who (like most woman) think they need men in their lives when really all they need are some good friends. I hope you find that special relationship one day. A relationship that makes you feel good right under your chest when your around them. Remember, I love you.

"Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and cannot remain silent."
Victor Hugo
If someone were to look at your music collection right now, they would probably know a great deal about who you are. Individuals are drawn to music, and each song conveys something about that person. Select a musical piece to be your theme song. Tell us what it would be, and more specifically, why it represents who you are. (200 Word Limit)

If someone were to look at my music collection right now they would see a variety of music that I relate to in different ways. I think music goes beyond words, and that there is a deeper meaning within the soul of the song. A musical piece that expresses who I am is called "You've Got the Love" by Candi Stanton. It is a mixture of techno and gospel music. It represents me because sometimes when I feel like giving up, I realize that God is within me and that through Him anything is possible. At times it may seem to others that I won't make it through certain tasks, this song has taught me not to doubt myself and most importantly to only expect the best from myself. My favorite part about the song is the way it makes me feel. When I listen to it all of my problems go away and I focus on the things in life that really matter. This song has strengthened my relationship with God. When I feel down about myself the song raises my self-confidence. We all should remember the words "You've got the love" if we search within ourselves.

Hi! This story means a lot to me. I was really surprised with what he said. I think people should be more kind to others. Today try and do three kind things to someone. That is what you should do to be cool. Remember, I love you.

Tell us an interesting or amusing story about yourself that you have not already shared in your application. (200 Word Limit)

I was raised with many values such as being honest at all times, being polite, and being fair to everyone no matter what. I moved to Georgia about two years ago and the school I go to is about twelve years old. During my first few weeks of school I was walking through the hall during break, and it was extra crowded that day. Because the hall was extra crowded, the school janitor had even more to deal with than usual. As he passed in front of me, some of the excess garbage fell off the top, of the already over full, bin he was rolling down the hall. I quickly picked it up, caught up to him, and tossed it into the garbage bin. I smiled at him, turned, and began to walk away. He then called to me saying, "In my ten years of working at this school as a janitor, not once ever has a student stopped to help me. For that I thank you." I have not seen him since that day. I never knew that such a small act of kindness could mean so much to someone. This memory means a lot to me.

From freshman year to now, we know that you have interacted with a number of people in your high school who are different from you and have affected who you are now. Tell us about one such relationship, with a focus on the details of your interaction, not the person.

I plan on living and working in New York someday. My best friend grew up there and one day she told me that I would not last in New York for more then a month. She explained, "Christiana, you're a people pleaser. Doing what people tell you to do without questioning it. If you move to New York people will take advantage of you." I disagreed with her. Over the next few weeks I realized that in many ways she was right. I lose opportunities to advance myself every day because I always put others in front of me. People do take advantage of me. I slowly began to use the word "no" and began to stand up for myself. I am still a nice person and am always willing to help people, but I needed to learn to respect myself. I will definitely live in New York one day and no one will take advantage of me. I still like to make other people happy, and I always will, but not at the expense of myself. My friend taught me a very valuable lesson that I will never forget, to love myself.

Hi! My father told me that if I lived in his house then I had to apply to the University of Georgia. I have no interest going there, but I really did enjoy writing the essays. They were very interesting questions and I like the way I answered them. Enjoy! Remember, I love you.

Choose an intellectual or creative opportunity from your high school years that you have enjoyed and highlight how you have grown personally because of the experience. (200 Word Limit)

Teenagers like using slang. One slang word I used going into high school was the word "retarded." If something seemed stupid, didn't make sense, or I disagreed with the concept, I used that word. I work as a babysitter in my neighborhood, and I was asked to work with a boy who had a severe case of autism. Babysitting him was challenging, because there were certain things he couldn't do because they interfered with his learning. For instance, he could only watch thirty minutes of television a day. So we'd play with puzzles, cards, and write together. I have a brother the same age but I soon realized that in many ways this boy was much more advanced intellectually. I wondered why I would use "retarded" for something stupid when these children are not stupid? This boy sparked my love of helping children with special needs. I began volunteering at the local autism center. I stopped using "retarded" and I've contributed to convincing many other teenagers to stop using the word. I joined the special education club at school and am now a member of the local Special Olympics Board. This is a highlight of my high school experience.
