A Chapter in My Life

I believe life is a long novel just waiting for some one to write it. Every step in your life becomes a chapter and each person that influences you are the characters. You are the author and have the power to navigate the story. You have the power of your own fairy tale ending, its what you do with your life that makes your story.

My name is Misty Scott. I am 19 years old and this is the most recent chapter of my story. I have an identical twin whom I've never spent more than two days away from until recently. I also have three more sisters whom are younger than me, and three brothers whom are older than me. However, it doesn't end there; my mother, ironically, is due to have my new twin brother and sister on my birthday. My siblings and I were born and raised in Conyers, Georgia. A small suburban town on the outskirts of Atlanta. I went to a public school most of my life with most of the same friends since elementary school. Until tenth grade, my parents saw it in my best interests to transfer my twin sister and I into a private christian school in Stockbridge, Georgia. It was a major change but I soon met the best friends of my life.

I am a very independent person as a child I would wonder off into my own adventures, while my twin sister followed close behind copying my every step. Once and awhile she would remind me of the consequences which I did not acknowledge. This behavior followed me into my teenage years. Of course careless behavior is not an uncommon trait of that age group. Consequently, I decided that I had what it took to move out into the"real world". My adolescent ways soon began to diminish and I took on a new chapter of my life and became a new character in it as well.

Bills and work consumed my days and soon a year crept by. That year opened my eyes to the "real world". And I soon realized that I was not ready,nor equipped with the knowledge or tools to be prepared to take on this "real world".

College is the title of the next chapter I am beginning to write now. I anticipate it to be the best one yet.
