Last time I told you a little bit about the beginning of my life; about how I lost my father, began to love entertaining people, and, unfortunately, became an arrogant child the cares for almost nothing but winning and if I can't do it I'll quit. Pretty sad eh!
So I left off talking about dancing, singing, and quitting piano because of a certain rival but you know what that wasn't the last time I had to fight against her. When I hit grade 2 I didn't really care about my grades as long as I was beating everyone in the area of entertainment and music it didn't matter but then came my rival, Rory, now that's not her real name but whatever I'm using it for privacy's sake.
Now Rory was good at almost everything, including school, and I was determined to beat her in every way so... I began asking my mom to do my school work for me knowing that whatever she did would be much better than whatever I could do. Eventually she discovered this trick and made me do my work myself but that didn't mean that every one in a while I couldn't procrastinate and beg for help!
Your probably thinking what a stupid mother doing her daughters work for her but when you think about it she only wanted me to do my best and if I was having problems she didn't like seeing me cry over it! (By the way I'm a really good fake crier I've gotten really good at it over the years.)
OK back to my story well anyway Rory started joining all the things I was doing singing, dance, the whole lot of it. Now your thinking oh it's gonna be one of those classic tale where she beats me at everything well no it wasn't... I beat her in mostly everything I did, well except most of school and piano, but I did have the better voice and dance moves; but the dance was mostly because my dance teacher was more professional and I started singing and dancing before her. Well anyways in grade 2 we both started doing poems and monologues in the music festival along with some community theater.
From the time I was 3 when I went to my first high school play I always wanted to be in one, I even stood or the entire play saying I could do the mum, and I was so excited when I found out they cast me in the community theater play "Cinderella"!! I was so happy but then guess what I found out: Rory was going to be in the play too! That's when I wanted to crush her so I acted as hard as I could be better than her but I guess that was pointless since now one judges who played their character better in the play unless someone is really bad at it. Well tat was a bust and I was a complete brat.
But when we got to festival time I had been coached by my aunt in speech and was determined to beat and I did that year in speech. I also beat her in singing, musical theater and dance, but not piano and grade 2 was the last year that I did piano. Rory was recommended into a higher grade in school she didn't take it but that still meant that she was better then me and no just in case you were wondering I didn't quit school.
So I continued like this for a long time always winning singing, dance, and speech trying my hardest to beat her in school joining community theater when I could and trying to be the best in everything I did. But after a while I didn't always win at everything and people began to catch up with me mostly because I got lazy thinking I would always be the best. But unfortunately that wasn't the case.

My Life: The Beginning
Well the big question in this blog is if you can't guess.... What is my life? Over time I will answer this question not only for you but for myself...
So lets start at the beginning...
I'm a fourteen year girl who lost her dad at the age of 3 well you can imagine what life was like after that, "Poor girl she has no father and at the age of 3, that must be terrible!! And it was terrible but you know what I got over it but why must everyone else be sad because of it?
I mean of course sadness comes with death but I wasn't even allowed at the funeral because people would look at me and cry. I even went on a hockey bus and all of people on the bus started crying so I went up to each and this what I said, "Why are you crying dad's in a better place now!" And as you could imagine they all started crying even harder! I probably had no idea what I was saying back then, but obviously it seemed like the right thing to say.
I couldn't handle people always being sad around me so I came up with a way to make people smile and that was through entertainment.....
Just before my father died I began dancing and it was and still is one of the greatest joys of my life, I loved it when people smiled while watching and when they came up and told me how they loved watching me dance because it looked like I was having fun!! And don't get me wrong I love dance a lot but I believe the most important part about dance is that your audience enjoys watching you and loves the mood you create with your motions.
As soon as I discovered my love for smiles and dance I danced absolutely everywhere I could and it didn't matter where it could be at the hockey arena, in the grocery store or even just in the middle of the street...
It seemed that I had a knack for music and entertainment! So at the age of 5 my mom entered me in singing lessons.
After entering singing lessons I realised that I had a great voice or so I was told. I would sing in our local music festival and always win against my opponents and of course that made me happy, I mean what 5 year old doesn't love beating people. But I started to forget about my love for smiles and just entertaining people for the sake of making them happy instead I started thinking abouting winning just for the sake of saying that I was the best at what I did!
I became a very arrogant child, but no one knew the total truth because along with my musical talents came my theatrical talents...
I would tell people how good they were to their face then go home and tell my mom how much better I was than them and ended up way to over confident! Whenever I coulldn't do something or simply couldn't do it better then everyone else I would quit it and pretend that I didn't do it because it was too easy or just plain stupid. That's what happened with the piano I started it and never practiced expecting to still be the best but there was a girl in my grade who was much better at than me and I got fed up and quit because I was "busy". Little did I know that that girl was destined to be my rival...
Now I'm sure this is starting to sound like a fake story to you but this is what my life story is so you can quit now or keep reading.
