Who Am I?

Hello readers. My name is Arica and it's pronounced like Erika. My real name is too long to spell(12 letters) and too hard to pronounce. I'd rather not share my real name. I am 16 years old and am a junior and not excited to start senior year. If I could, I would be happy to go back to freshmen year. If I could, I would LOVE to go back to first grade. I like to go sightseeing but don't really have that much time. When I'm an official adult, I want to take whatever opportunity is thrown at me. 

I also like to watch murder, crime, action movies. I mostly like to watch action movies because growing up my dad had me watch "Tom and Jerry"
 to "Popeye". I love Jackie Chan movies because I would see my dad watching them and I became a fan. My dad and I watched Jackie Chan movies for so long that at the age of 8 I was convinced my dad and Jackie Chan were best friends.

Random story! I had two turtles. Notice I HAD and not HAVE. I got my first turtle when I was 12 and never got the chance to name it. I remember I was so excited but after a few days (2 days to be exact) I got tired of it and my dad was the one taking care of it. 3 years later I got another turtle. Unfortunately, my dad put the two turtles together and left them together the whole day. I came home from school and saw that the smaller turtles shell was bitten off. Again I never named the turtles. Anyway the smaller turtle died and my dad put it out in the front lawn where the lawn mowers were going to be cleaning the next morning.  And as you can guess, the turtle was shredded to bits by the machine. Then near the future, I took the larger turtle out of its tank and totally forgot about it. We lost it somewhere and I'm pretty sure it left the house when we had the balcony door open by accident. So there's my random story. Just a little information on what sort of pet I kept. I am a horrible pet owner but you can't blame me. The turtle was so boring and what was I to do?

I am excited to start sociology this semester because I've heard good things and that the class was fun. I hope that I learn a lot and will use that for the rest of my life. I am open to new ideas and enjoy learning new interesting things. I have a feeling that this semester might be a blast!

  1. I think it's interesting how you spell your name and your turtle story was a cool fact

  2. Wow that turtle story was pretty sad but funny because I had a smilliar pet story with my parakeet. Anyways, it's pretty awesome how your name is so unique, take pride it that.

  3. Hello Arica. I like your full name. Would you just teach me how to say it sometime when no one else is around? But you are never allowed to turtle sit for me (if I had turtles). Why wait to take advantage of opportunities when you are an official adult?! Take advantage of opportunities now! Maybe this class will be a real opportunity? Remember the story I told about the little boy and old man? "It's in your hands."
