Hey all. As i was coming across my friends blog i notice she talked about her school like and all that. It was really interesting to read about an aspie's life story. So i was like hey maybe i can write one of my own!! So in to days entry i will right about my childhood and teenage hood and all that. I hope it doesn't bore anyone. I'll try my best not to make it boring lol.
So i moved to Whiting Indiana (near Chicago land) at 4 and had a lot of playmates at that neighborhood. I've lived there from 4 to late 12. I had lots of good memories from that block i lived on. We would play games, have pool parties in my next door neighbors pool, played in my back yard, ride around in my 2 cozy coupes, etc. These kids were like 1,2,3.....years older then me. They were fun. They accepted my for who i was. Then i went to kindergarten. Just an innocent little girl. lol I was kinda different in a way. I whined more then most of them and was kinda slow. Like they knew how to tie there shoes and use scissors probably. I didn't. I didn't know how to write well either. I didn't even know how to count right away. So yea i was kind of slow. Threw elementary school i was kind of slow at some things. Also i didn't like the kids like i liked the kids who lived on my block. A lot of them made fun of me because i cried a lot was just different. I was made of fun of a lot too. It really sucked. Elementary had its fun times too though. Like its field trips, holiday parties, Science fun day, evening fun fest events, prices for doing all your work, ect. Third grade was the coolest. The teach had a Little Tikes castle with foam blocks built around it. Each day we would take turns spending a day it in and to pick a partner. We got to build around it and all. We also make stuff like pizza, dino rice crispy treats,and this snack she made up called dot toast. Also we would get these fake bucks called Bunny Bucks for rewards. At the end of the year we got to buy real things!! It was a little store in her class room and no its was boring stuff like pencils, notebooks, and erasers. It was cool stuff like toys and candy! Anyways kids made fun me me a lot in elementary school but i still had some fun time. Then i went to middle school i went to 3 different ones( i'll explain why in a moment) Sixth grade i went to Clark Middle School. No offence but the kids were pure ghetto and just mean. The kids came from like 3 different elementary schools including mine. Sixth grade was the worse for me! The would steal my stuff, call my cry baby, even sing DON'T CRY NOW!! to me in front of others, try to push me down the stairs and into lockers, throw things at me. It sucked. Those kids were the most miserable people i seen. Then never were happy and acted like they were to good for everything. They were just ick. Oh i forgot to mention most i had some friends though elementary school. Like Katrina and Patrica. Katrina was a lot more mature then me but we still got along. Patrica was fun at times but kinda bossy. In 5th grade i had some more friends like Melanie and Andrea and Jessie. Even though i didn't come friends friends with them they came to my 11th b-day party. Andrea i hung out with more though. She was kind of like me. I still wonder if she was an aspie. See was often teased like me too. I don't see any of these people anymore. Anyways back to what i was saying.... in 7th grade i went to a different school. We moved to Indianapolis Indiana because my dad got laid off his air port job because of Sept 11th. I talked to people in seventh grade time to time. We moves to a temporary apartment until we could find a house. In the 7th grade i became friends with these 2 girls who lived there named Kim and Megan. They were soooo more mature then me and found me different. Soon they would make fun of me and make my 7th grade life pure hell. They made fun of me for not knowing sex terms like they did. The called me baby. Even Kim threatened me at times. Megan was at least a little nicer. Still they were not like me. They really scarred me in a way. At times i think people will make fun of me for being kind of sheltered because people like them did. In 8th grade we moved to a house finally in Avon, In like 5 to 10 mins away from Indy. The school system was a lot nicer there. People were more laid back and kid like. I talked to a lot of people but because people found me kind of different and annoying at times i didn't become close to them. I didn't have things in common with them and had trouble socializing like them. I had a main friend named Nikki threw out 8th grade and high school. In 10th grade i become friends with some people who were special needs. One who lived in my 'hood. I was best best friends with her but hung with her once in a while. My friend Nikki was nice but we fought a lot! Often a times i didn't think she was a good friend. Times we didn't click. It really stressed me out and often kept me away from talking to others because i was often worried about this one friend. It's often something that would happen with me. It totally sucked. As i grew older i became more to myself. I no longer cared about how i wanted to fit in and all that. I was just getting sick of school and was only thinking about getting out. The end of the second semester of 12th grade we moved back to the Chicago area. This time Midway Chicago. My mom let me be home schooled over the computer for the rest of my 12th grade. I didn't want to deal with going to a different school again. I was glad she did that for me!! Probably one of the best things she did for me really. It was a lot of money you know. Then i graduated and had my diploma sent in the mail! I was soo happy and i didn't have to go up on no stage in front of all those people! So i was so lucky. Now i been out of school and glad. I don't think i want to go to college though. I didn't like school i hated i truly. Hopefully my mom can help me find special programs to find jobs that suit me. Believe me i wouldn't be a cashier is someone paid me!! Well...DUH people WOULD pay me that's what a jobs are for lol But you know what i meant so yea lol. I want to do something the make me comfortable and not stressed out. Oh and i forgot to mention i was DX with aspergers at late 14 so the summer right before high school. So in elementary and middle school i didn't truly know why i was different. That's a look thew my life. Next entry I'll mention more of how i was like and what i liked to do as a kid. Didn't want to mention EVERYTHING in this entry lol its already long enough. Anyways my next entry will be about how i was as a kid and all that good stuff. TTYL. Peace out.
