Introduce Yourselves!

Hi Fanaile!

I'm Fallon. I'm 23. I live smack dab in the middle of Arkansas. I'm entering my final year of college, working on my BS in Criminal Justice and Forensic Psychology. After that, I'm headed to law school. I eventually want to practice law, focusing on civil rights/liberties issues, most especially those affecting minority religions.

Hi, my name is LeAnn and I was born and raised in Dallas, TX. I just moved home from Upstate New York where I lived a short time dealing with a non-profit organization. I am currently attending college where I am about to recieve my Associates Degree in Anthropology and from there I plan on going for my Bachleors somewhere in California. I'm new to the whole blogging thing but I think it could be an interesting experience, I guess it is what you make it. Anyway, that's me for now.

I'm mvenus929, or Chelle, whichever you prefer. Despite what some people have said on the site, I am very much female. I'll be 20 at the end of September, and I'm in my third and final year working towards my BA in Biology. After that, I hope to go to medical school.

As of now, I live in a very military town (we have 3 Air Force Bases and an Army Post a short drive from my apartment), and my mom is in her... 24th year in the Army.

I'm Jsaj.
I'm 18 and enrolled very part time at Hunter College. I'm taking one class, Intro to Mythology. I'm a kind of nerdy guy. I'm an atheist, so I guess I'm a proud member of the most distrusted minority in the US. Sigh...
In January, I'm going to be at Emerson college in the Writing, Publishing, Journalism department. I'm not exactly sure what I'll major in.

I'm Nick, though my user name may say otherwise. I am 17, a senior in high school, and live in Central Kentucky. After highschool, I plan on working towards a doctorate in Biochemical Engineering.
Sarcasm is like my second language and I'm too outspoken for my own good at times.

I'm Steve. I am 18 years old and I am also in my senior year of high school. For college I want to double major in political science and history and eventually go to law school. I live in central Indiana and go to a small private school. I've been at pro u for quite awhile now and enjoy commenting more than posting my own blogs. I like to argue and will from time to time play the devil's advocate just for fun. Politics are my all time favorite topic to talk about on this site. I, like Nick, am extremely sarcastic and way to outspoken.

I had just read your blog about the new people and let me tell ya it helped out alot.......I am new to this and its always good when someone else trys to help out another......you can call me flygirl and i from anchorage alaska.......yeah you heard me......i am 24 years old and i live here in jacksonville florida.

Thats me in a nutshell......

My name is Tahni, I live in a conservative rural town in Oregon and I am a fairly neurotic liberal hippie. I'm not associated with any political party, but I sympathize with the green anarchy movement. I just turned 18 and graduated high school and I'm enrolled in a community college with no idea what to do with the rest of my life. :)

Peace
Tahni

Hi I,m 16 and i'm from Africa.I just joined here and i thought this would be a good opportunity for me to introduce myself.I hope I will have a great stay and i look forward to making cool buddies!!I am generally the active kind and also easy on things.Peace pice!!

Hi my name is Mimi. I was born in the US and relocated with my family to BC, Canada while I was young. I grew up there and when I was 17, my family slowly started moving back the Washington state. Finally at the age of 24, I moved back to Washington to be near family and remove myself from dangerous living situation.

I am doing fantastic NOW! I had started school at Green River Community College and graduated with my AA and Gender Studies Certificate this past summer. I attended the graduation ceremony and was the first time I graduated EVER! I am also the first in my immediate family to graduate from college. I am very proud of that as well. I will be transfering to Evergreen State College in WA. I am so excited :)

I am a single mother with a loving 10 yr son who has been my inspiration. I am proud to say that both his parents are college educated, former President's of Student Clubs and hopefully positive role models. At the age of 8, it is in his head that it is normal to attend college and already decided which college he will be attending (my first college: GRCC).

I am Native American and have lived a difficult life, which many people can say. I do believe that all of the challenges that have arisen have been lessons to teach me that anything can happen at anytime and I will not be given a challenge that I cannot conquer.

I am new to blogging and I hope to continue with this site. I have read a few posting and this site seems really interesting. Currently, I am still on my summer vacation before I return to classes mid-Sept and my mind has been a bore. I fell in love with this site as soon as I started reading. It makes the gears in my brain shift.

Thank you. :)

Hello everybody I'm veebrafone-weird I know but it's a long story and it's not that interesting...I'm a 21 gal from Englewood Colorado. I'm an ex music education major at the University of Northern Colorado now I'm working on a film degree from the Colorado Film School. I just recently moved back home after living on my own for about three years and that's taking quite a bit out of me being around my dad all the time again.

I'm passionate about gay rights, our education system, and the right of a woman to choose. I'll try to explain more throughout my blogs.

Hi, I'm Cynthia, as you can tell by my user name. I'm a 17 year old Senior in high school. I live in San Diego, California and go to High Tech High which is a charter school.
I actually found out about this site through fastweb.com which is a search engine for scholarships.
This site looks like a great way to meet other like-minded individuals and I'm excited about reading other people's work!

Howdy :) My name is Diana and I'm a 49 yr old student at CTU .It's taken me a long time to get to this point and I'm really excited about my future.For so many years I've been the good and hard worker but never good enough to be in management.So now I'm going for my Associates Degree in Business Management then if all goes well I'll reach for the stars and get my BA. Some might wonder why someone my age needs all that ,well knowelege is something a person never gets enough of. ALSO I 'm tired of doing the hard work while someone else gets the credit. It's always been a dream of mine to have my own business that involves field work as well as office work. And I don't mind getting my hands dirty.Restoring old houses is my first love so maybe I'll do that TOO!! Right now I travel all over the country because my man friend is a superintendent of new construction so no roots right now.

Hi! My name is Nathalie and I'm 18 and a freshman in college. I'm a biology major and I plan on going to med school. I want to be a psychiatrist (not to be confused with a psychologist) and I am extremely excited to start my education. My goal would be to work with girls (and guys) who have eating disorders and to be able to help them through the pain they are suffering with. Anyway, I really like this idea of blogging about pertinent issues of today rather than what some 14 year old did last weekend.

Hi my name is Arlene and i'm 17 and currently going to school at csu long beach (i graduated high school early). My major is english education minor in journalism or music education...i really don't know yet....i just know i want to help out kids...LOL!
I hate people who degrade women! I tend to think outside of the box and hopefully everyone here can think outside of the box too ^-^
idk if i even made sense LOL

~dreams are impossible if you do nothing about it~

i;m not hawain but my friend in high school loved hawaii so we were always using aloha and i love it, the word actually and the state too...but back to introductions..
I'm 20....wow, it seems young and old... but I sometimes feel 30-40 and it's ironic that people ask me for my id and even question if I am 18 when i think that i have such an old soul and i am so jaded.
It might be right time to say that my username isn't my name, it's actually my mom's-- i tend to use her name, i wish to be like her, she is strong, tough, and well, you know mothers. some of us do take them to be role models.
My name is Asma, and it gets so butchered that I am called asthma, but it is not pronounced that way. I guess the best way would be to say that my name is "us-ma" like all of "us", so yeah...
besides that I am now a sophomore or so i think, i would have been a junior if i did not drop out of my previous university but i went through well, you know the usual, crash and burn and family problems.

Above All - Do no harm

Hey all, I'm Beth. I live in a tiny town in East Tennessee. I'm 17 and a senior in high school. I'm a musician (Alto in choir, mellophone, french horn, trumpet and flute for instruments) and I'm working on my writing skills. Right now I'm at a point where I just randomly spit out something good here and there, but I'm hoping that having this type of blog will encourage my creative juices to flow all time time. I found this site through fastweb, and even if I don't win any scholarship money, I hope that I can help somebody and learn about other people.
I'm a Christian, I don't claim a particular denomination though. I attend a large Baptist church here in town, but I've also attended assembly of God churches as well as non denominational churches. I go to church where I'm comfortable and with a crowd that is really doing the work of God. I try to be a light in a dark world, and I hope that I can be an example of Christ's love for all the people I come in contact with be it online or in person. I'm not always so great at that, I'm not perfect.
I'm planning on attending the University of Tennessee at Knoxville next fall and if I decide not to be a music ed major, I'll go in undecided. I've also kicked around psychology, law, forensics, photography, and the like.
I love to travel and read and just have fun and I'm a major internet junkie.

Howdy. I am Angelbaby06 or Priscilla. I'm 21 years old. I was born and raised in a very small town known as Salem, West Virginia. Now I live in Martinsburg, West Virginia with my husband and my one year old daughter Angelina.

I am a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) at a nursing home. I plan to try to go back to school this spring and become a LPN (Licenses Practical Nurse). Later on down the road I might go back to school and become an RN (Registered Nurse), but thats later on.

Okay, maybe it's a little bit late to introduce myself. Hi! I'm May. I'm 17 years old and will be going to Mount Holyoke College Spring 2008. Meanwhile, I am attending Queens College in New York. I'm having a blast here. College is so much fun and I'm learning more than when I was in high school. My dad told me that college is where life starts. And my life starts now. I think I'm addicted to progressiveu. Really, I can't stop talking...or rather...typing. lol Nice to meet you. Let's be friends!

Hello! New meat!
Anywho, Miho not my real name and you will never know!
BWHAHa!
okay I usually let it slip.
I have no idea where I'm going to college nor do I know what I'm going to do! I absolutely love reading webcomics, such as, Megatokyo, Ctrl-Alt-Del, Commissioned. I love my x-box...well any game console really. I love my t.v. and movies. Best shows of all time are: House, Grey's Anatomy, Hereos, Jeeves and Wooster, NCIS, CIS (the orginal, none of this Nantucket crap), and the Simpsons!
THat's all your getting!

Sarcasm is my body's natural response to stupidity.

My name is Kyle Johnson. I am 17 years old and I am a high school senior from Springfield, Massachusetts. I plan to attend the University of Massachusetts at Lowell and work towards my B.S. in Atmospheric Sciences. I later plan to earn my masters in Atmospheric Sciences.

Hey all, I just joined a few hours ago...Isn't it exciting? I know, I couldn't believe it either. I'm a college junior, studying everything basically, because I've given up trying to stick to one thing only. I love long walks on the beach and sushi. Yeah. That's about it. I don't think I love anything else really. Oh wait, mantle pieces, how could I forget.

As you can see I'm sarcastic. I'm really funny once you get to know me, I swear... So I would love to get into a debate with you anytime, anywhere, I'll be there, at the square, brushing my hair or eating a pear...or plotting diabolical schemes in my lair--this can go on all day unfortunately, so I'll end it right here, have no fear...

:)

Hey! My name is Becca, I'm eighteen years old and graduated high school in December. I have been going to Drury University since January of 2007, and will be transferring to Northwest Missouri State University in August. I am not sure of my major yet. It's in between English and Psychology. Yes, two different subjects, but I love both. I am strongly against child abuse! Other issues I am against include abortion, gay marriage, and illegal immigation. But regarding where i stand on child abuse, that is the one thing that I most wish the governemnt woudl address and take more seriously. I want to help children who are in that position when I get older.

On a happier note, I love music. I listen to rock the most, but also love pop, kid music (like hannah montana, HSM, etc.), rap, country, and other genres. I play the bass guitar and keyboard, and I also write my own lyrics. I enjoy writing short stories and poetry as well.

I really have nothing else to say, if you want to know more check out my MySpace. www.myspace.com/gc_sp_4_lyf

Hi, I'm Glare (don't ask why this is my SN it just is), I'm 18 and I'm doing pre-med in college (Bio Major).

I'm here because I like to speak out my opinions regarding life in general. I'm not an expert on politics but I can manage.

I'm also here to participate with the scholarship contest, and you'll probably see me back here Feb 15th. Good luck to all of the future participants and I'll talk to you later.

Hey there!
I'm Erika, and I'm new here! My sn, emc91, stands for my name and the year i was born in. I am 16 and a sophomore in high school. I am interested in discussing the issues in the world as well as our everyday lives, and adding some awareness to other issues that may not be as known. I am an honor student at school on the student council and although I am only now in my sophomore year, I know college is coming soon so I am planning on getting my degree in Psychology. My eventual goal is to get my doctorate in psychology and I hope to have a special focus on eating disorder treatment and research. There are many other issues that are also important to me though so I will eventually get into those as well. In terms of hobbies, I love dancing, singing, and acting and another dream of mine is to perform on broadway. I am also obsessed with acrobatics and cirque du solieil. I'm excited to meet everyone!
Take Care!

My name is Adam Harju. I was born in St. Louis Missouri and I still live here today.

I am a senior in high school and I will be attending the University of Missouri Columbia in the fall to pursue a career in journalism.

I am the editor-in-chief of my school newspaper. I love to write and express my opinions and cover sports. I just recently finished my school edition of the mock primaries. I am very interested in politics and am looking forward to discussing anything with anybody.

Yola!*

*Yola = a combination of the words Yo and Hola. It is my own special greeting and, yes, if you violently overuse it, I will get slightly annoyed. I'm 15, I consider myself to be moderately smart and just a smidge opinionated about such things as light pollution, solipsism, and the end of the world.

Um, what else about me? I live on a goat farm. I am NOT a llama, despite what my luvverly icon picture may suggest. I have chipped black fingernail polish on my fingernails right now, as a souvenir of a particularly hyper slumber party I went to a few days ago. I believe the death metal band Kamelot is the most awesome band on earth, and in heaven and hell if they exist. I have an accordion that I know how to play badly.

And . . . that's all I can think of to say right now. I'm betting within the next few days (assuming my school doesn't block this site) you'll see me sitting in some secluded corner of this site, ranting about the evils of football players and the virtues of having a robot as a best friend.

Adios!

Greetings,

I'm Rebecca I live in Dallas,TX
and I'm in the 11th grade
I hope to be attending a university

I am a 17 year old high school student. I look to be a sports radio announcer. I live and grew up in Long Island New York. Favorite Team the Jets favorite rap artist Lupe Fiasco.

The name's Sean, but you can call me sbrennan08. Or Sean. That'd probably work better, actually. I'm a 17-year-old high school senior with a passion for music, a zest for good conversation about any topic, worthwhile or inane, and a bizarre affinity for sentence fragments. If I could make a career in music that'd be fantastic, but computer engineering seems like the likely route for now. I hope to exchange words with many of you in the future.

Hello all!

My name is Devin, and I am a 21 year old undergrad student earning my English degree. I found this website through Fastweb.com for the scholarship contest and thought it would be a great site to be a part of even after the contest is over, because I enjoy blogging and discussing current issues and such.
