Romantic/Gothic Hero

I've never considered myself to be anything more than just me much less than any HERO, but if I had to choose a hero type for myself I would like to believe that I am more of a romantic/gothic hero rather than any other type. I, myself, don't really care about much, meaning I don't care if I get in trouble I like to live in the moment. Life has always been said that it is too short to sit around and cry about nonsense, you have to have fun and stop worrying so much. Don't waste your life. I have a lot of friends so I'm guessing that must mean I have a good personality. I know at times that I can be mean but overall I am a pretty nice person you just have to know me. Mi familia is crazy but in a good way. They know how to have fun.Yes, of course, like any family they can be embarrassing at times, but no matter what they do they are still my family and I can't and wouldn't ever change that. I don't ever look at my strengths and weaknesses but that doesn't mean their not there. One of strengths would be that I can almost deal with anything no matter what it is I can always find a way to cope with it. A weakness would be that I have bad eyesight; I can't see far away which really annoys me. Now I don't feel like list all my strengths and weaknesses so.....yeah. My hobbies are hanging out with friends and just goofing around with my brother Nick. All my life I have always been giving everything I wanted so I guess you can say that I am spoiled (my mom does). I have a pretty dark side to me most people couldn't tell because of the way I act but trust me it's there. I can be very romantic (something no one else would kno about me) but I still have that dark side that can be brought out.

The Quest

My quest on this journey is simply to get through my life doing all the things that I wish to do. I want to finish high school, go to SMU college, get married, and to start a family of my very own. Oh yeah and to get a well paying career. All I ask for on this quest is that I live a happy life and with hard work and determination that I reach my goals. I know that there will be obstacles that I will have to overcome but I think well hope that I can manage. That's my quest and I hope to make it out alive with everything accomplished.

The Archetypal Mentor

A mentor is someone that is said to be the wise one who teaches the hero important lessons along the way. The mentor helps the hero as much as they can by putting them through tests that they must past in order to move on. The essence of the mentor is very crucial and very much needed, in my life-long journey my mentor would have to be my friend Yoddit Esayas. She is constantly keeping me on track, making sure I don't venture off the right course. Yoddit acts as my mentor because she is the one person that is always getting on to me for doing something wrong. Yoddit makes me do my homework which is a good thing because without her nagging me I wouldn't get anything done. I appreciate the help that I receive from my mentor even though it can get annoying I know she means well.

The Threshold Guardian

Amanda, my older sister, is the threshold guardian in my life. She is always there to give me advice on whatever. I can tell Amanda anything and everything and not have to worry about her snitching on me or trying to black mail me later. Now Amanda has made quite a few mistakes in her life which ruins things for me. There are many things I am not allowed to do because of something that Amanda did back in the past. I hate that my parents think that I'm stupid enough to make the same mistakes that Amanda made. Nevertheless, I did learn from Amanda mistakes and she does talk with me about boys and what not. I know I can trust Amanda to be there for me. Though we fight we are still sisters and I know that we will always have each other.

Shadow

It took me a while to think of my shadow but in the end I realized that I am my very own shadow. Whoever would of thought of that, not me. It's true though I keep myself from sometimes doing something that I really want to do. I feel that I sometimes I might be worrying too much about what other people will think of me. I hate that I do that because why should I care what other people think. Now I'm not like this all the time I can overcome this thought and be the "real me" and I often do. I am a burden to myself at times which can be really annoying.

Trickster

The trickster in my life is my very own brother Nicholas (Nick for short) he is so hilarious. With Nick around there's no telling what will happen. Nick is always the one I go to when I'm feeling a little down. He can always cheer me up no matter what. He'll have me laughing in no time. When I'm with Nick I have nothing to worry about but having fun. Nick often acts a fool to get attention, he loves to have all eyes on him. He will literally almost do anything to make someone laugh. That's just his personality. When Nick and I are together we can't stop laughing which often gets us into trouble. I remember this one time when Nick and I were just hanging out around the house doing nothing but laughing for no apparent reason. My mom wasn't too happy she wanted us to shut up. We got thrown out the room for laughing so much. Another thing that Nick does that makes him the trickster of my life is he will be over dramatic when telling a story, he'll act it out for you adding his own little jists making the story as hilarious as he possibly can.

Loyal Band of Companions

Every hero has their very own loyal band of companions. Mine are my friends and family. They are always there for me when I need them. I can always count on them especially my friend Yoddit. She helps me a lot. I depend on her for a lot of things and every time she comes through for me. Recently I had a project that I had to get done and I tried everything to get the music on the powerpoint, but never could and there Yoddit was to help me out because of her I didn't fail BCIS. She helps me with much much more and I really appreciate all that she does even if I don't show it. Another loyal companion of mine is......William Moses. He is actually my boyfriend so we are often together when we get the chance to be. He's hilarious sometimes and other times he's really nervous, but he's always there for me. I have lots of other loyal companions and I really appreciate every single one of them and would do anything to help them out if needed.

Broken Heart

Most people experience a broken heart in their lifetime and normally it's over someone that they loved such as a special someone or a family member that past. Well for me when I was a little girl my parents separated and it broke my heart to see them with someone else other than each other. I hated it when my dad had a new girlfriend and he made me meet and talk to them. I made sure that they knew I didn't like them or wanted them around 'my daddy'. Now with my mom it was a different story she never brought any guy around us until she knew that it was a serious relationship, but not my dad he rushed the girl that he was with on us. Want to know something funny, that girl blamed me for my dad leaving her when I actually never even did anything to her but she blames me. I didn't even talk to her to be the blame but whatever I'm just glad shes out of my life for the most part. Anyways, like I was saying it hurts when your young and you have to constantly hear your parents fight and then one day your daddy is packing his bags and leaves you watching as he does trying to explain to you that he loves you and will always be there for you and all you can do is cry. I still remember the day my dad left it so much to see him leave that day was a very dark day for me and my siblings.

Striving for the Best

Parents can be the worst but in the end you know that they mean well. My parents have always pushed me to get straight A's and when I don't I get in trouble because they feel that I am not trying hard enough which is not true. Because of my mom and dad I am in all Pre/AP classes, well the class I like anyways. I do the best that I can while still trying to maintain my striaght A's. It's hard work and I am often put under a lot of pressure and stress. I always try to do the best that I can not only for my parents but also for myself.

Struggles for Love

I know that I may be considered to be too young to know what love is but I do have a good idea of what it is. Love is more than a feeling but still a feeling. Love is where that special someone cares about you and doesn't ever want to have to part from you. Yes I know that I have all my life to find that someone but it's hard for me to open up to people sometimes. I think that I hold myself back a lot. I know the boundaries and would never cross them till I am sure of what I want and am old enough, of course. A lot of people struggle to find true love. Love is a very hard thing to find considering your heart only wants certain things, it's kinda picky if you think about it. I just have to remember not to rush into anything and to wait to see if the guy that I am with is the right one. The key is to follow your heart.

It's Me and Only Me

My name is Katelyn Alegria if you don't know that already. I just turned 16 in May. Yeah I know I'm old. Summer is very near and I'm going to truly miss all my friends. On the other hand no more homework that's a plus (wait summer reading....ugh). I had fun this year and hope to see everyone next year. I'll never forget all the funny things that happened this year especially in geography class. My favorite thing this year though was the project we did in English over Romeo and Juliet I had such a great time acting out the scene and turning it into a video. Something I did in my spare time was read the Twilight Saga and found out that they are actually really great books. Sadly it's time for me to stop talking about myself and end this project. Now those that read my blog know a little about my background. Sorry but it's time for me to go my mom wants me off the laptop.
