I WAS BORN IN 1983 ON NOVEMBER 30TH IN  STATEN ISLAND, NY. I WAS BORN WITH A "LEARNING DISABILITY" AND IF SOME OF YOU THAT DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS, ITS SOMETHING THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR ME TO LEARN. I WILL NOT GO INTO SOME DETAILS BUT I HAVE RAN INTO TROUBLE, NOT WITH THE LAW LIKE I DID A MISDEMEANOR OR SOMETHING. LOL. YOU KNOW YOUR NORMAL KID ENCOUNTERS THROUGH AND OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL. LIFE SUCKS FOR ME AND FOR MANY OTHERS AS WELL. I HATED ALL MY YEARS THAT I WAS IN SCHOOL. FOR GRAMMAR SCHOOL, I WENT TO P.S. 54 AND FOR JUNIOR HIGH, I WENT TO "I.S. 51", WHICH TO ME WAS AN EASY ROAD BECAUSE ALL 3 YEARS YOU WERE IN THE SAME CLASSES AND HAD THE SAME TEACHERS FOR  SCIENCE, MATH, ETC. THAN IT CAME TO HIGH SCHOOL. I WENT TO PORT RICHMOND, AND BOY IT WAS A TOUGH PLACE TO BE IN AND TO LEARN. THE KIDS ARE HORRIBLE, THEY LIKE TO HANG OUT IN THE HALLWAYS, CURSE TO THE TEACHERS, FIGHT BACK WITH TEACHERS, ETC. IT WAS JUST CRAZY. OF ALL MY FOUR YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL WERE.

ONE OF THE BEST TIMES I EVER HAD IN HIGH SCHOOL HAPPENED BECAUSE A FRIEND OF OUR FAMILY SUGGESTED THAT I DO A PLAY THERE CALLED "SING".  HIS DAUGHTER DID THE PLAY WHEN SHE WAS IN THAT SCHOOL.  IT SOUNDED GOOD SO, WHEN I CAME TO MY SENIOR YEAR, I DID  IT. BUT THERE WERE SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH ME. FIRST OFF I WAS SHY TO BEGIN WITH AND I ALL MY LIFE I HAVE BEEN SHY, THAN WHEN I WENT TO THE AUDITION AND I HAD TO READ LINES WITH A ANOTHER PERSON WHERE I HAD TO ACT NASTY AND AFTER I DID THE LINE READING I WAS LIKE "UGH".  IT WAS SO HORRIBLE. THEN THEY ASKED ME IF I WOULD SING AND I SAID YES, SO THEN I WENT INTO A SMALL ROOM WITH THEM NEAR THE STAGE OF THE AUDITORIUM AND I SANG WHICH YOU ARE NOT GONNA BELIEVE BUT I DID IN DEED SING "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" AND I WAS JUST SHOCKED AT MYSELF FOR DOING THAT BECAUSE I WAS WONDERING IF IT WAS A BAD AUDITION,.  WELL I THINKING IT WAS ANYWAYS. BUT OVERALL I DID DO SING FOR THE 3 NIGHTS IN A ROW AND I HAD A BLAST. I HAD TO DO A LINE IN IT AS A TOWNSPERSON AND I SAY TO THE NASTY PRINCESS WHO WAS PICKED: "WELL WHAT IF WE DON'T LIKE WHAT YOU SAY". SO I DID HAVE A LINE AND I GOT A TEE SHIRT OUT OF IT. I WAS ALSO PUT INTO A CHORUS THING. WHEN I REALIZED IT WAS DANCING, WELL OF COURSE THEY TEACH YOU AND I THOUGHT I DID A HORRIBLE JOB WITH THAT TOO, THEN TO TOP IT OFF,  SOME GIRL WHO I WAS PARTNERS WITH FOR THE TIME BEING SAID "YOU HAVE TO DO IT FASTER" AND EVEN THOUGH I DID KNOW THE MOVES AND DID THEM AT HOME I GUESS YOU COULD SAY THAT I WAS SHY BUT THAN WE WERE AT REHEARSAL AND I WAS OFFERED TO DO IT AGAIN, BUT A "NO" RAN THROUGH ME.  OH WELL, I DID MY BEST AND THAT ALL THAT COUNTS FOR ME.
