Fall Recruitment 2009. Oh baby!

[blondie20]

Hey hey!

Hooray for a fresh recruitment story! I'm trying to decide on code names...Harry Potter? NFL teams (I love football!)? Spanish cities? Disney Princesses? Cast your votes and suggestions now!

Anyway, a little history for you...

For two years, I went to a private school. While my mom was super popular and the perfect Irish Catholic girl in high school, I was the complete opposite. I went through an emo/punk rocker stage, wore green nail polish, tons of bangles and pink chucks with my uniform kilt. Needless to say, I did not fit in. The only reason I went there in the first place was because my aunt went there and sent, or was intending to send, all 7 of her daughters there, and I won a music scholarship there. There was just a ton of pressure to stay there since so many of my family members thought so highly of the place.

But my the end of my sophomore year, I could not take it anymore and I needed to get out, so I transferred to public school, and that was the best decision of my life. I grew from this angry, rebellious person to a sort of oddball person who was still growing, but no longer tried to alienate herself. Then, over the summer of senior year, I really grew into myself and transformed into the confident and girly person that I am now.
By the end of senior year, I was a completely different person - I was extremely involved, and I had a stellar group of friends.

My friend and I were supposed to go to college together, but at the last minute, she changed her mind and accepted to a different school. Not wanting to be directionless in college, or find myself friendless and alone, I signed up for Formal Recruitment.

More coming later tonight! Don't forget to give input for the code names!
