Rough Draft

Storm LOVES KPop and Psy

• "I don't like to think about that because I don't like compliments, so it's weird.  And I don't want people to think I'm like, "let's go to school!" because I hate school. I hate school. I don't really like the idea of school. I go cause it's required and you can get a good job and stuff but I don't like coming off as someone who's enthusiastic about the idea of learning...even though I kind of am...but I like to get my ideas out. I feel like the way people perceive you, no matter if it's true or not, that is what you are because the world is how everyone sees something. So even if I'm not stupid, if everyone thinks I am, I am because that's how it's determined kind of. So I feel like I need to be very clear with everything- if I have an opinion or something, I need to get it out there cause I don't want someone to get the wrong idea about me. It's kind of self-conscious on my part, but, you know..."
