Hi,
I’m Skyler, and this is an introduction to who I am. I am thirteen years old
(almost fourteen on October 9th) and I am in eighth grade. I go to a
very small school called Chadwick Junior High. Compared to other schools in the
area, ours is maybe 1/10 the size of them. At my school, I am a part of many
different extra-curricular activities, including softball, volleyball, track,
student council, and quiz bowl. I would say that I am excelling greatly at
these things, too. I went to state last year in track for the 1600-meter run, I
am an outside hitter and a starter in volleyball, and I am the secretary in
student council.
Outside
of school is a different story. I live with my mom in Milledgeville with her
boyfriend, my older sister, a cat named Babycakes, a dog named Gizmo, and a
bird named Peep. I am there most of the time, unless I am at my dad’s every
other weekend. Ever since school started, I’m not really home. I am normally
practicing for sports, at dance, or hanging out with friends. When I am home, I
am normally completing homework (and sometimes giving up and saving it for
study hall the next day), sitting around on my phone, or watching TV or Netflix
with my family. So basically, I am a pretty lazy person when it comes to
staying at home.
Some
people can describe me as a very introverted person, but others may describe me
as very outgoing. When I am with people I am not very familiar with, a word you
could use to describe me is awkward. I never know what to say, I can’t keep
direct eye contact, and sometimes I speak straight nonsense. While when I am
with my friends and people I am quite used to, it is almost the complete
opposite. I’ll speak my mind about anything and everything, even if it doesn’t
make sense. I’ll also do anything with these people, like go to haunted houses
or hang out at football games. If you aren’t one of these people, you could probably
expect a lame excuse, trying to get myself out of the situation.
To
sum this all up, I guess you could describe me as a very complicated person. I
could sound like an athlete, an outgoing friend, or just a complete loser.
Hey Skyler, I as well play the same sports. I am never home either, and when I am, I'm quite lazy. Whenever I'm with people, I am too socially awkward, but hanging out with my friends is a different story. Your blog was pretty good. Since we go to the same school, mine is small as well. Maybe we could go to a haunted house soon ;)!
ReplyDeleteThat would be a 10/10 great time.
DeleteHey Skyler, I am 13 as well and I also like to be outside, with my friends all the time, and I am also extremely funny. I have 2 dogs and their names is Gizmo and Dexter. I have a cat but her name is Polly she is fat lazy. Is your cat lazy like mine is? I am very outgoing, I noticed that you are too so to me you sound like a cool person.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! My cat is very lazy. Almost 99% of the times I walk into my room, she is usually sprawled across my bed.
DeleteHey Skyler, I really like your blog I am also 13 years old I turn 14 in February I am kinda different tho because I am not that lazy I usually always go to the park with my friends.I am really competitive or try to be because we don't win that much. We only have 7 people total in this class 5 boys including me and 2 girls.
ReplyDeleteHey Skyler, I really like your blog I am also 13 years old I turn 14 in April I am kinda lazy. I usually always talk or hangout with friends. I am really competitive. I used to do robotics.
ReplyDeleteHi Skyler,
ReplyDeleteWow! Great post! I love your easy writing style, it feels like we’re sitting somewhere, having a pop and hanging out. You are so honest! I think many of us feel just like you do - easy and comfortable around people we know and kinda awkward in new situations. Sure makes life interesting.
What do you like best about being at a small school? What would you like about a bigger school?

Thank you! I like my small school because you get more recognition for things you do. On the other hand, being in a bigger school gives you more opportunities to have more friends and be involved in more clubs and activities.
ReplyDeleteHello Skyler,
ReplyDeleteGreat Post!I liked your writing style, your word choice really put the reader there with making it feel like they are having a conversation. Ii could realate when you said you are super active and outgoing at school but lazy at home.
Hello Skyler!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely loved reading your post! I know what it's like to be a complicated person, since I am all over the place! It's interesting to see how many interests you have! I loved your blog, I hope you check out mine!

Nadia.
