Priorities

What is a priority in your life right now?  School, education, and preparing for college. I have so much school-stuff going on right now. As far as high school, it's my senior year, I have to make sure I'm on top of everything to ensure my GPA only goes up and not down. College-wise, I have a lot of deadlines right now.

And that is what kept me distant from the kids my age and that is what got me to transfer to Middle College. ...

My full name is actually six names but I'll save you all the experience for a later time. I was born in Germany but moved around a lot around Europe since my dad was an American Military Solider and my mom is French. We lived in various parts of Germany, France, Greece and just recently about 4 years ago moved to the States. I must say it is kind of odd living in the states because it doesn't really feel like home even though English is pretty much the only language I can fluently speak (at the moment) because since we moved so much and switched languages so often none of them really stuck except English since I had to be able to talk to my father. I'm currently a Junior in high school, however, I go to Middle College at the local university in my town so I take all my high school classes in one building with other Middle...
