Self Portraits

Who I am at school...
I feel this shows me at school because this wasnt just any free dress day, it was Go Green day and although you cant see my complete outfit i am wearing green to show my spirit and have my usuals in it too... my beat up vans and my favorite blue Ray-Bans...

Me with Friends
I had a sleepover with my friends and although it may look like just another teenage photo it actually tels each persons personality. When we yelled "Lets do mustaches" we all chose to do somthing differnt some used their hair and some decided to just make strange faces, but i when i heard that i grabbed the pen on the table and drew a quick mustache on my finger. Each of the these poses shows 1000 words for each persons personalities.

Me at Home
At home I constantly find my self on the floor with my laptop on a lapdesk and my binder with homework next to me. However, During the weekends or when ever I have free time, I now find myself hitting the SAT books. I have a schedule to follow to prepares myself for college and this weekend it was time to study the colleges themselves, hence the College Bible at my side.

How I View Myself
My Grandfather passed away earlier this year and, unfortuanatley I have never really had the time to go visit him much since his passing. I finally got my driver's license on monday but i waited till tuesday to make my first trip because I wanted my first ride to be to visit my grandpa. I also remembered he loved his pumpkins so I did make a quick detour to pick up two little pumpkins to bring for him.
