Because everything in your life happened and happens for a reason.
Because everything that has happened, happened because you
attracted it to yourself.
Because everything that has happened, is the reason you are the
very person that you are now.
This by all means gives you every right to be 100% thankful.
To love, respect and treasure who you were, who you are, and
WHO YOU'RE GOING TO BE.

So make it count, treasure each moment and follow your heart.
Be the person you want to be, and never lose sight of your dreams.

Try this, look back onto your memories, look hard, and find those
5 special events that has impacted you most. Whether they were good
or bad, they are terribly significant and they have made you
who you are today.




1. From the age of 4 till 14 or 15 (for around 10 years) i was really really really shy, people would
constantly tell me to speak up. I was really attached to my family and didn't want to leave them constantly for school everyday.
Anyway i was basically an introvert, until i reached year 9, and well i somehow found the strength to let myself really shine through. That's how i became really hypo and i kinda swung the opposite way, and now i absolutely love talking and words. I guess found the confidence in myself... :)


2. I really like nature and holiday places in the country side where everything is untouched,
the only thing you can hear is birds chirping etc. I think it's beautiful. Hence me being born in a small town minutes away from Bendigo. That's definitely why I'd
prefer nature to technology.


3. I am really stubborn and always have been. Well actually my entire family is, I think it's
passed down or in the genetics or something. I even see it in my dog :S:S.


4. When i was in grade 3 or 4 i wrote a story that got published in a book. It was a book of short
stories/poems written by children all around Australia. I didn't think much of it then, in fact i
seriously didn't acknowledge the potential in it or the extent as to how awesome it really was.
When i was around that age, i also had this favorite computer game called 3D movie maker.... :P
and for a long time i forgot about the enjoyment i found in it, also with writing. It kinda drifted
away for awhile as i was hovering through MY phase of 'teenybopperness' :P


5. For primary school and year 7, i gotta admit, i went to kinda crappy schools. My primary
school was a public school not far from my house (literally next door) and it was pretty good,
but knowing all that i know now, it's not so much of a good school :S :S
Majority of the past students that i used to know that went there awhile back, have either
turned into a slut, an emo, a dropout, obese(ish) or in a deeeeep deeependant reeealationship.
But there is a minority who are still pretty awesome. I also come across many of the teachers
at maccas, and to be brutally truthful, they look pretty average/lower class
(please don't mind my hypocritical remarks and discrimination)

But the biggest impact it had on me is that it changed my surroundings. I was surrounded by
mostly the wrong crowd for a big part of my life. People were dry, slack, rude, dirty, hypocritical
and they didn't own much respect. They never knew when to draw the line. They would
constantly cross it without even realizing because that was the way they were brought up.
It's kinda sad i guess. And this definitely rubbed off on me. I thought it was normal. I thought
that was what people were like. And for some stupid reason, i chose a high school even
worse off, because the majority of my friends were going there too. After awhile i finally came to
my senses and my conscience told me this was far from normal. So, i moved to tcc in year 8,
and my world, my sense of right and wrong and what i thought to be normal was turned upside
down and back to front and life became overwhelmingly amazing :)



So there you have it.
Go on. Now it's your turn. Look back, and see what brought you here.
And also, don't forget look forward as much as you can, and picture
yourself living your dreams. No matter how crazy it may be.
I wish you luck.

Lots of love, Claire x
