Autobiography

My full name is "Jacey Mae". Currently, I'm attending high school. Before  high school, I went to a performing arts middle school, a regular elementary school, and a private school.

For kindergarten to third grade, I attended a private school, which required money to attend. The only other difference is that classes are really small, but that's because there's free education that's pretty much the same. Also, it's mandatory to read and learn about religion. Every year, they would host plays and talent shows. Most of the time I participated in the shows, and I really enjoyed myself. I still like acting and being dramatic at times, but after moving schools I became really shy.

After third grade, I moved to a different elementary school. Leaving all my friends was really devastating, but I left thinking we would all keep in touch. I was wrong. When I got to my new school, I felt lost. I didn't know anyone except for a son of my father's friend, but that was only by name. Fortunately, I became friends with a girl named Anne. Even though nothing bad happened, I still changed from an extrovert to an introvert.

When sixth grade was over, I had to transfer to middle school. I did not want to go to the middle school that's really near my house, so with a bit of persuasion, I convinced my parents to sign up for a performing arts school. Honestly, I thought I'd be able to stop being shy if I started acting again. Instead, I was too shy to even try and audition. Although I failed at that, I became friends with a girl. She's very confident, likes to talk to people, and really smart. Thanks to her, I became less introverted. I'll talk and keep up a conversation with anyone, but I won't go out of my way to talk to them.

In middle school, I found a subject I'd like to study on my own time. Mythology. At first, I was honestly bored out of my mind. All we would do was watch documentaries, Star Wars, or read out of textbook. During all that, we had to take full page Cornell notes with a lot of colors. When I read the story of Narcissus and Echo, I started to like mythology. One reason, was because of Narcissus' extreme personality. He died by a lake, because he could not stop admiring himself. He found no other girls pretty or anyone, except himself. Second, it made me realize that mythology isn't just boring lecture about boring people who don't and will never exist. Normally, I didn't like to read in between lines. I preferred having things spelled out for me, but now I enjoy reading and visualizing everything in a book. Such as the background, how characters felt, and how I can possibly relate.

Now, I'm in high school. I plan on staying at my current school for all four years. To improve my social skills, I'm taking Leadership. I wasn't interested at first, but then my mom told me I should join and I signed up. After three weeks into school, I was never called to be interviewed, so I decided to give up on it. Later that day, I found out my friend from my private school, also joined Leadership. He told me how to actually get interviewed, and I followed his steps. Now, I'm the treasurer for the freshmen class.
