who are you?
who am i? ariel odette windsor, call me ariel, ari, whatever you like. i'm seventeen years old and i'm in my first year at yale. i know, pretty young to be in college, but my parents threw me into school as soon as they could. not because they wanted to get me off of their hands for at least a couple of hours a day, but education is big in my family- another reason why i'm in college so early. technically, i was sixteen when i started. i skipped a grade or two, no big deal.
what are you like?
honestly, i don't know how to describe myself. when i meet someone, i say i'm ariel, what about you and leave it there. other than one or two get-to-know-me activites at school while i still went to public school, i don't usually have to talk about myself anyway. but if i had to? i'd say i can be a roller coaster. like, one minute i can be really awkward and shy and nervous around people, to the point where i just want to do is hide my face. sometimes all i want to do is roll into a ball and stay like that. i know, i have some pretty bad self esteem issues. i think it's because i didn't go to public school or any sort of school with other kids, honestly. at least, i didn't go long enough to develop any kind of social skills. i began homeschooling at second grade, so you can see why people and i are not good friends. i know i'm at least decent looking and i know that i can be a likeable person, but i'm not capable of feeling like a million dollars- ever. i'm just not very confident in myself. on the other hand, though, i can be really outgoing and talkative- with my friends, but that counts right? sometimes i'm even sort of a flirt. that's what my friends tell me at least. i don't mean to be 'flirty.' in fact, i don't think i'm capable of flirting with boys- not that i flirt with girls, but that's beside the point. i can talk, though- sometimes it's full length, interesting, non-awkward conversations and sometimes it's little words here and there, like an 'excuse me' or a 'you're fine' or 'sorry about that,' but i can still use my words. one thing that i'm not good at though? making friends. i wish i could change that about myself. i wish that i was as outgoing as i know i'm capable of being, but pushing myself to do that can be hard. eye contact and talking to people i don't know are not on my list of good qualities. heck, i still make my mom pay at the register or order drinks at starbucks.
what is your family like?
like i said before, my family is surrounded around education. we're all about getting good grades and being the best at everything, being on top of everything. i guess that's why my family is what someone would call 'rich' in this economy. we try hard. my parents work hard. my siblings and i work hard. my dad is a surgeon- trauma surgeon, to be exact, and my mom is a lawyer. they're both geniuses, so i guess i'd say being smart matters a lot in my family as well. i'd think that's a good thing. i have one sisters and three brothers. i know, kind of a big family. even though we all have giant brains and most of our time is occupied by homework, school, and for my parents, work, we still find time to spend time together. saying that, from my eyes, my family is very close knit. there's barely ever a disagreement or argument in the house and when there it's, it's over something small and worthless and we get over it in the course of a couple of hours or less. we're not afraid of being judged by one another, because we all leave each other to death. that's a good thing, right? i would say so. i mean, having a good relationship with your family is good. so what i said about being based on education? i say we're based on love and family, too.
where are you from?
i've lived all over the place, and it's because my dad's job. i know, usually surgeons stay in one place, but my dad used to work in the army, as a trauma surgeon wherever he was needed. this left my mother and my siblings and i living wherever we were supported. i've lived all over the place, on different bases, up until i was about thirteen years old when we finally settled in hartford. my dad quit the army because things we were getting stressful, dangerous, and exhausting and my mom wanted him with his family, back home. she was sick of moving around, too, but then again, we all were. originally, thought, i'm from hawaii. i know, crazy place to come from. not surprisingly, i was born on a military base in oahu.
how is your love life?
ha! what love life? i've never had a boyfriend. i've never even been close to having being in a relationship. like i said, flirting and i do not go together. i have no idea how to flirt- okay, so that's a lie. i bet i could do it if i had to, but i'd look pretty stupid at it. i'd look stupid and inexperienced and silly. i don't think i'd even know how to be in a relationship, which is bad, because i'm seventeen. i should be learning, shouldn't i?
what are some of your goals?
at the moment, all i wanna do is get through college with good grades. so far, i'm doing well. i haven't fallen behind yet, so i think i'm doing pretty good, considering i'm younger. then again, age doesn't really have anything to do with it, does it? another goal, i would say, is maybe learn how to be a better conversationalist. that, and learn how to talk to boys. sound good? i think so.
