everyone deserves a chance to FLY!

I get up in the morning, I go to school, a happy joyful boy of 17. I hang out with my friends and stay active at school. I come home in the evening, realizing that its just me. My mind starts to think sad thoughts. I think about how I can't wait to leave home and be on my own because I can't look up to my parents as role models. Its pretty upsetting to me that I am a more respected person than my own parents. I have so many dreams and so many things i want to do. I have my parents, especially my father, to look at as role model of what not to be. I can't wait to one day become succesful, start a family, have kids, and live happy. Since I was too young to remember, I have never had a happy homelife. From my parents fighting and relationship issues to money problems. If it has not been one thing it has been another. I don't just say this because my parents and I don't get along because we actually do from time to time, but they really don't understand how I feel. To have all your friends around you have everything they need and to not be able to have the same thing. To have to sacrifice normal things just for your family to get by. I really feel that they don't understand that generations are different. Things are not the same as they were in 1975. I will not however, let my parents mistakes and screw ups keep me down. I WILL go to college(and be the first in my direct family to finish) and do something with my life. I know that one day in the future I will look to my life as it is now as a way of making me stronger and as a means of a success story. I thank God for everything I am given, and I do believe that everything happens for a reason. I will one day have my chance to fly!

Lorna Doones Excite Me!

As I sit in my room and eat my honey nut cheerios at 9:06 p.m, I start thinking back on all the things and opportunities I am given in life. I am always on the go doing something. Even though I have troubles with my family, i have so much that i look forward to in my life. I have so many wonderful friends who like me no matter what and it is great to know I have those people there for me. Mr. Lewis is also a big part of my life. He does so much for me and cares about my future so much that I feel like I owe a debt to him.*i just finished my cheerios* I have so much going on this year that i am so excited about what I have to look forward to. I am running for SSO with Ga. Thespians, hopefully doing GHP, One Act, Spring Musical, growing as a performer, and just being there to help others. I am so excited about everything. The one thing I do wish I had however, is a relationship. I love the feeling of being in a relationship because i feel whole and like i have someone to always go to. The only thing is that i never get the same thing back that I put in, which kinda stinks, but one day the right person will come along. I do believe that. I went camping in Tallulah Falls this weekend and had a great time. I did alot of hiking and saw alot of waterfalls. This was random but it was just thoughts in my head. oh well.

DC YO.

So this summer I have done more than I realized. I started out by going to Washington DC. It was a really great experience that I would love to do again someday. We started out by driving to the Atlanta Airport where we took off from. We landed at the Was Dulles Airport and met our tour guide. He took us first to the Udvar Hazy air and space museum. I hung out with my friends Brian and Mikey the whole trip and we had a great time. Brian and Mikey bought space food and we devoured it. It was disgusting in my opinion. After we left the museum, we went into DC itself and took off from there. We visited the vietnam wall/ memorial, ww2 memorial, lincoln memorial, korean war memorial and had dinner at union station. We stayed at a hotel in maryland. We never went to the pool however because it was packed with a bunch of little kids on school trips. it sucked. The next day we went to the library of congress, the supreme court, national archives, the national space and air museum, and the natural history museum. We had a little extra time so Brian, Mikey, and I went to the washington memorial. We went to union station again for dinner. The final day we were there, we went to the white house to begin the day. we went to the iwo jima memorial and the arlington cemetary as well. The cemetary was so funny because i had to control lindsay bennett's wheelchair and i accidently let her go and she started flying down the hill. needless to say i got control. It also stormed and our flight out of reagan got delayed. Our actual flight home though was nice and very pretty. the trip in general was alot of fun and I had a great time.

An introduction to who I am.

Hey Guys! My name is Eric. i am 17(about to turn 18) and i decided to make a blogspot because i think it would be fun to write down things in my life. About me? Well I live in a tiny, recently turned military town , called Grovetown. I Attend Harlem High School where i am very involved with my drama department. Our department is actually one of the best in the state which is always nice since i tend to pursue a career in some sort of theatre. I live with my mom and my dad which actually makes for a very interesting topic since they are split up yet still live together. They both work together as well for a catering company. My father used to be a very well known local chef until he got injured at work and had to stop doing that job. My mom has always worked in security, from mall security to being a correctional officer in a state prison. I want to someday pursue a career in either theatre performance, musical theatre, or theatre education. I want to fall more into the theatre education however because it is more of the kind of life i want to live. The life of a performer is quite hectic and i want to have a family and be able to settle down early. My family is not that well off, mainly because of things my parents have gone thorugh and done in the past, which makes it hard for me, but i still live day by day with a smile on my face and do what i need to get by. I cant wait to go to college and to start a life for myself. I also want to get away from Grovetown. When you have lived most of your life in a very small place, after a while it really gets to you.


I have a good bit of friends who are there for me most of the time which is very nice. I dont really like to say i have best friends because all my friends mean alot to me, no more than the other. of course you always have friends who are closer to you than others, but that usually changes with time. I always love making new friends as well.


I have always considered myself more mature than my age. Granted, people who know me know that i have a crazzzy personality and unless you have seen me serious you would not be able to know how my maturity shows, but when i am serious about something its pretty obvious and an older me comes out.


things i enjoy include theatre, dance, 60s musicals(doowop), shrimp, miyabis, hanging out, swimming, art projects, leadership, volunteering, coffee, shopping, money, children, wacky people, pepsi jazzzz, youtube, music with good beats, and caring people.
