This is the first post of many that I hope I will be making. And to start off my blog I will be writing a little bit about my self.

Right now I am an average teenager in an average American home, going to a pretty average school.

Some people would call me giddy, childish, over excitable. Others would say I'm studious, smart, and respectable. And to few I would be a leader, a planner, and a skilled boy. As this would suggest, I am a man of many faces. But all are in fact quiet true. I can be any one of them at any time. With all of these I can make people think I am one way or another. But all of these different personas were never originally here.

Before I found The Friends I am currently with, I was relatively a lonely guy. I would be the guy that would jump around the various groups trying to find one that fit my spunk. I was teased sometimes for things I did and bullied. I was near friendless. but that one fateful encounter with this one kid. I talked to him, and got to know him. He was nice and imaginative. He would be the anchor that helped me into the group i'm in now. I liked these guys. They were nice, creative, active, and the best part of all, a bit disconnected from everyone else at my school. And as some might say, the weirdos. I was a weirdo and fit right in.

At the beginning of the school year, for an English project, I had to write some vignettes describing who I was. I had done one of my time finding the right friends. It is titles "Friends".

Friends

Nearly friendless. This was my life. It was a while ago. I was friendless, not one person to call a best friend. Sure I was acquainted with some kids that I played with from time to time, but only on occasions. This was my life. It was a path that I was on that I wanted to leave. I felt I was in a rut and couldn't get out. But one day in 6th grade I found them. A group of guys to play with. With hang with. This seemed like it. They were ones. People to call friends, and a chance to find a best friend. This was it. I had found them. It was amazing. I could socialize. I could talk to them, play with them, and call them friends. I finally felt comfortable and in place; with people I could be with that wouldn't make me conform to fit to who they were. A group of oddballs, together, for times to come.

As I close this up I will leave the reader of my blog with a quote to think about.

"Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything."
