What kind of person am I? Well, I've spent many years reflecting on that very question and here is what I do know.
I am the kind of person that refuses to be kept down. I'm a fighter that is for sure. Throughout my 30 years I have faced many obstacles. I always seem to get up, dust myself off and keep on moving. In today's world that is saying a lot. So many people give up and let go. Don't get me wrong I have had my moments but I know there is a reason why I was put on this planet.

I'm a kind and caring person. I often times give up something for me to in turn give to another. If I have it and you need it you got it. I am a friend, I keep in contact with all my friends as much as possible.
I like to think myself as an intelligent person. I have street smarts and book smarts. I graduated with honors from my high school and then went on to complete 2 years of home online classes to get my Degree as an Administrative Assistant. It hasn't helped me get a job yet but hopefully soon. I'm somewhat of a "geek" I love to read and go to the library. I've read numerous pages in the dictionary just to broaden my intellect. I'm computer literate; my friends often ask me when they need help with something they are doing.
I am also a very shy person. When I was in school it was way worse. I didn't have many friends and I pretty much stayed to myself as much as possible. Now that I am older I've broken out of my shell so to speak. I make friends pretty easily. I've come to realize that I can't worry over what people think of me. I have found myself getting upset about what some one thinks of me and life is too short to worry with it in my opinion. People are going to think what they want no matter what you do or say. The important thing is to never change for anyone but yourself and change for the better don't let someone push you in the wrong direction.
I'm a pet lover. I've always had a pet of some kind growing up and even now I have 2 dogs who I adore! I've always had the dream to help stray or neglected pets. Hopefully soon I will put that dream into reality.
I can be a somewhat needy person at times. When I am sick or having a bad day I tend to gather around my friends and family for their support.
I'm a huge music lover. I love everything from Hip Hop, Trip Hop and House music to Rock and Alternative. I have many CD's that I listen too.
So, in a nut shell this is who I am.
