The views of the world

I realized awhile ago that everyone I know has a different image of me.

To my parents, I'm the girl they raised. I get good grades and I don't get in trouble. I'm the girl who almost never does what I'm told without putting up a fight. I'm generally lazy but I'm really helpful when it comes to the computer. I'm the one who just doesn't care anymore, who doesn't want to listen. I'm the one who watches annoying TV shows, the one they spend way to much money on. I am their daughter.

To my friends, I'm the smart one that always has something helpful to say. I'm the one who's funny but mature at the same time. I'm the one to go to for advice. I'm the girl who breezes through life without looking back. I'm the girl who gets slightly annoying when she gets upset. I'm the one who gets picked on because I'm short and blonde. I am one of them.

To my teachers, I'm the quiet one. The one who always pays attention in class, but never raises her hand, even though she probably knows most of the answers. The one who, when she does speak up in class, always has something interesting to say. The one who usually slacks off, but somehow gets good grades anyway. The one who sucks at math, who excells at Speech and Literature. I am a B+ student.

To my peers, I'm just another girl. The nerdy one who they go to for answers. The one who's usually quiet, but can snap back at you if you're gonna be a jerk. The one who dyed her hair red a few weeks ago, so she must be strange. The one who's only been here since last year, so she's different. I am an outsider.

And me. To me, I'm the strange girl in the mirror. The one who's letting her grades fall because she's turning into a fulltime slacker. The lovesick girl who can't make up her mind about anything. The one who dreams of so much, yet does so little. The clumsy girl who needs to learn to watch her step. The one who gets mad at almost EVERYTHING nowadays, and can't figure it out. The one who's too afraid to show off her talents because she knows she'll be made fun of. I am me.

There you have it. That's how the world views Kenzie.
