Everyone has a lot of questions about who they are. Apparently that is a question that takes a lot of meditation and reflection to figure out and after that you still don't truly know who you are. Some people say the road to figuring out who you are is a life long journey. I would say that I agree. You must go through many stages and fazes of life to fully figure yourself out.
At this point in my life I am at the college stage and faze of my life. I have a good idea of who I am and who I have yet to become and I am excited to say the possibilities seem to be endless.
Here is a little bit of what made me who I am. I am the fourth child of five and the youngest boy. I have one sister and she is the youngest. My mother and my father have been together for over twenty-seven years. They have been the most loving and caring parents to each and every one of us ever since a can remember. I remember when my mother used to talk about the days when it was just her, my dad, and my two eldest brothers. My mother decided that she had enough of talking about sports and sport cars so she decided to have a daughter. Five years later she had my third eldest brother. She still didn't have someone on her team so she tried again. When she did try again, eleven months later, I was born. You know what they say, fifth time is a charm so she gave it one more go. Finally, on her fifth try she was granted her wish of a beautiful healthy baby girl by the baby fairy. At last the Thelus family was whole with a mother, a father, four boys and one girl.
I remember my first day of elementary school. I was so nervous. I was worried about if the other kids would like me or hate me. I was worried if the teacher would be nice or mean or pretty. I was also worried about the red and blue polo shirt that I had to wear as a part of the school uniform. I remember my brothers telling me that everything would be okay and I didn't have to be nervous but I was doubtful because on their faces were malicious grins. I remember being dropped off at this massive structure with my three older brothers. We began the long walk to the entrance of the building. When we finally arrived to the strange building there were creatures even more massive inside. My brothers told me that these creatures were fourth and fifth graders and in order to survive I had to stay away from them. They also told me that where I am was called the cafeteria and that it was the place where they served food. I was happy to know that my new school wasn't all that scary if it had a cafeteria.
