If someone were to ask me "Who are you?" I would say Taylor Avery. A girl who likes learning and making new friends. A girl who always runs with her mom. A girl who has the best family to love and comfort her. A girl who always talks to herself and dances around the house while listening to music. But I don’t think those will be the answers that that person would want. So, I would say, “I don’t know yet”. But this is what I know now. I have dedication, I don’t stop until I get what I want or do what I want. But sometimes I’m afraid to speak up because I think people might judge me or make fun of me. When I do speak I say the most ridiculous things that no one usually cares about. But what they don’t know is that the most ridiculous thing could be the smartest thing that person has every heard. I am unique and special. I want to overcome that fear of being ridiculed because I really am a fighter and a believer. I have been called negative things like selfish or stubborn but that’s just the “sometimes” me and I can’t change me. I try and fail but never fail at trying. So, honestly when people ask me this question I don’t know the answer to it because I don’t exactly know who I am yet. But I am learning. There are still years and years for me to live to actually figure out who I really am. I am just a 16-year-old girl now, naïve in this new world not knowing who anyone really is. I will discover who I really am; when I’m on my death bed about to say my last words. But if you want a straight forward answer right now, you’re going to get one. I am Taylor Avery, and I am me.
