I come from an upper middle class family. Although I am an only child, and am spoiled to death, my parents also instilled in me the value of hard work. They run an accounting business together. I learned so much by watching them. It really does pay to be disciplined. This spring I will graduate at the top of my class. Afterwards I plan on attending Rutgers College in the fall. I just want to work hard in school so that I can fulfill my dream of becoming a veterinarian. My parent’s are both allergic to animal dander so I can’t really have any pets at home, which kinda sucks, but for the past three summers I have done an internship at the Warren Zoo. I also work at the stables across town. I absolutely love horses and have been riding since I was four. I have won a lot of trophies for equestrian sports that I display in my room. When I feel down looking at them always cheer me up.

I have dated the same guy for the last six years, Mitch Allen. We were each others first, and only. I loved him so much, but now I am just confused. Lately he’s started talking about getting married and stuff. I’m not ready for all of that. I feel too pressured, so I decided to break it off with Mitch. I love him, but we’re too young to be so serious. Becky never liked Mitch. She always made up stupid names for him. It drove me crazy. Once, when I was a sophomore, I had this crush on this guy Steve. He was a senior. Becky always thought I should get rid of Mitch and go for it. Mitch never knew. He would have flipped. He was very protective of me. I guess a little too much. I hate to admit it, but Becky may have been right about Mitch. He’s really freaking out about the break up. He keeps calling and harassing me. I don’t know what to do. I need to relax and get my mind off everything. I’m supposed to go out with Becky tonight. I hope I can talk her in to something other than going to Twills. I don’t feel much like partying.
