Who I Am

I am a daughter, a sister, a friend, and a mother to my dog. I am a behavior educator who tries to help children. I am there for people when they need a shoulder to lean on or an ear to listen. I am always trying to make sure the people I love know it, whether it be through words or actions. I am lucky to have friends and family in my life who are so wonderful. That's who I am.

I am a golfer, a softball player, and a runner. I am someone who tries to be active and enjoy the outdoors as much as possible. I am someone who sometimes just wants to sit and waste hours watching reality television. I am often getting lost in a good book. I am someone who believes in the motto "work hard, play hard," even if I end up procrastinating. I am someone who can be lazy at times and sleep the day away. That's who I am.

I am someone who continues searching for love, even though I am constantly told that it will find me when I stop looking. I am someone who hates dating, but loves being in relationships. I am aware that I don't need to be with someone, but also aware that I want to be with someone. I am a great kisser. I am someone who is not afraid of PDAs. I am someone who will call you, text you, or email you if I like you, regardless of whether that makes me appear too into you or desperate. That's who I am.

I am impatient when I want something. I am easily frustrated when things do not work out the way I want. I am someone who likes to have a schedule and know what is coming up. I am indecisive and often need several opinions before I can make a decision. I am someone who hates change, even though I realize that it can make us stronger. I am someone who cries easily, for happy and sad reasons. I am the type of girl who wears her heart on her sleave. That's who I am.

I am confident in my appearance, even if I'd like to lose 20 pounds. I am a typical woman who loves shopping, make-up, purses, and shoes, though not necessarily in that order. I am funny and always trying to find the humor in life's adventures. I am easily excited. I am a woman who likes to get dolled up and go out for a night of drinking, but one who also sometimes just wants to stay in and cuddle with that special someone. That's who I am.

I am intelligent, having both a bachelor's and master's degree. I am not very interested in world events, even though I know they can have an impact on me. I am much more content reading about celebrity gossip. I am a girl who loves her football games in the Fall and March Madness in the Spring. I am always up for playing board games or having a Wii tournament. That's who I am.

I am loyal and trusting to a fault. I am always searching out the best in people, even long after they deserve it. I am someone who believes in giving second chances, and third, and sometimes fourth. I am forgiving, although I don't always forget. I am passionate and stubborn. I am sincere and honest. That's who I am.

Take it or leave it. Love me or hate me. That's who I am.
