The Past

My past isn't anything special but it's always a good place to start. My first recollection of a memory was singing in my cot looking at a deflated moon balloon we'd had for years, I don't know why that stands out the most but it's always stuck with me. My younger sister and i were always very close when we were young, laughing at personal jokes and dancing around to 90s music, lifes best when your young the innocence and lack of understanding makes life easier. Peggy & Alwyn my grandparents from my dads side, practically raised me when i was young they always made me happy, the memories are endless. As I got older I came to grips more with my personality and its traits, i loved to dance around like a complete prat some things never change; drawing and writing stories opened my imagination and helped me express my feelings if they weren't always clear to me, out of all the stories i made i only completed one ha fail.

When I moved into high school I hung around with some wrong people but those days only make me stronger now, I don't regret doing anything in particular cause things happen for a reason, right? At the start of year nine i went through a stage of depression and did stupid things that seem so pointless now, I worried about my weight, what people thought about me and to top it off my grandad passed away leaving my grandma and me more vulnerable. I took responsibility and grew up, after my grandad said constantly 'Take care of her charlotte' repetitively to me making me turn into and emotional wreck gah. Once he died I tried my hardest to be there for her even if at times i couldn't bare it. She couldn't bare life without him which made it even more difficult for me to be cheerful and keep the moral high.

After moving to John cleveland I made closer friends and picked myself back up, but in September 2008 my grandma passed away leaving us devastated but we knew she'd be happier so it didn't seem as bad. Year 11 proved to be better and my family & friends are what keep me together, it's going to be a difficult year but im determined to do well and make them proud...
