•   Day 27 – A picture of you last year and now and how have you changed since then?
  
  
  This is me and my little sister last Christmas. She's thirteen. We took this picture on her new Nintendo DSIXL which is awesome btw. Since then, I've lost a job, got a job, just got another job yesterday (yay!). I don't think I've really changed much, just moving towards a brighter future (at JP CHASE!). A lot of people used to always assume that I was very independent because of my demeanor. I'm not too sure if I was or wasn't very independent in my past. My friend's mother felt that I was very independent since a young age because she felt that I was more of a mother than anything; that I sacrificed a lot to raise my sister correctly. That may have been true, I never thought of it as my time being sacrificed, it gave me a curfew, less money to spend, and motivated me to be a good role-model. It did limit my time with friends, my time with handball, my time dating... but a lot of my friends (and boyfriend at the time) were not only okay with my sister tagging along she often become a big part of our time together. When I was away in college, a lot of good friends helped me out big time, especially my friend's mother. Being independent is relative. I feel that I rely on a lot of people, but no one seems to feel the burden I've put on them... Have I changed? Maybe I'm more independent? I definitely am financially ...

  *shrug* I am a happy girl though, that's all that counts right?
