It's Not Over

by Chery Miste

Life’s been rough so far; It’s forced us to go through sorrow, It’s left us with many scars, But remember what’s on the morrow. Tomorrow brings a new day; A chance to make it great, Is something you shouldn’t turn away; It’s not too late. It’s not the time to be crying, But the time to be joyous; No one wants to see tears of the ones who are emotionally dying, But the smiles of the wondrous. Keep fighting the good fight, And get yourself out of the gutter; It’s the time to strike a match and upon the candle wick ignite, And to spread your wings and flutter.

I am an 11th grader at Vincent Memorial Catholic High School. I am a Catholic and I'm loving it. I met my first boyfriend there when I was a freshman, he's a sophomore in college now. I currently broke up with him and have another boyfriend, and the funny thing is that we didn't have a fight or anything. After I graduate from Vincent, I'm going to IVC for two years, and then I want to go to San Diego State University in San Diego and study the following: English, Psychology, and Criminal Justice. My dad's kind of reluctant on me going away so he wants me to go to SDSU in Calexico CA. But I'm so against that. I wanna follow my dreams and learn how to be independent as well (I already am, but I mean independent like I wanna live on my own). I like playing on the computer often and hanging around with friends on the weekends and in summer (cause that's when I have all the free time!) and of course my wonderful boyfriend. I don't dance that well. I'm more of a singer and actress. Did I mention I like being random? Guess not, but I do. Haha, I'm very shy sometimes, but performing on stage as an actress just takes away that shyness and I'm just...out there!
