You know my Name, Not My Story

The girl in the picture is me. Jenna. My real name is Jennifer, but I like to be called Jenna. I,myself, am NOT bisexual but I STRONGLY support gay marriage. I believe that everyone is equal and everyone should have equal rights. I tend to get off subject and say silly things when my nerves kick in. I am different and I like to stand out. I don’t listen to most music people listen to, I don’t draw the things most people do, and I most certainly don’t dress the way most people do. But I like it...  It makes me... Well, ME! I sometimes put on a fake smile in front of my loved ones. They don’t need me to worry about. I think of music as my getaway in life. When things are hard, or I am under a lot of stress, I tend to turn to the music to help me through it. I don’t listen to things like one direction or Justin Bieber. I look for songs that have meaning. Talking about how you should have “put a ring on it”, or how you are “wide awake”, does not interest me. I am very strong opinionated when it comes to certain stuff and I am not afraid to speak my mind. I play volleyball, and I really like it.  Even though I may not be the best at it. I was born in Alaska and I live with my grandmother. My mom and dad are in Alaska, along with my sister. I have three sisters, but I am only close with one of them, Daniele. She is one of my inspirations in life. My sister gives me great advice and knows how to cheer me up. I love to go out and do stuff with my friends. I consider myself outgoing, although I may be shy at times. I am in publications class and I LOVE it! I have tons of creativity to bring in the classroom. I also love taking pictures, so this class is great for me. I love to make people smile. I think the most beautiful, amazing thing on this Earth is a smile. So this is me. I am Jenna. I am not perfect, and I realize that. But before you judge me, remember… “You know my name, not my story.”
