Potato juice.

I am strong, dammit.

When I am right, I will stand up for it.

When I'm wrong, I'll admit it. Or at least try to. I'm not amazing at that.

I will work.

I go out of my way.

I do more manual labor than most guys here at school.

Why the hell do you think I'm built like a silo?

I EARNED every bit of this muscle. So yeah, I'll walk like I own it, because I do, dammit!

And I am smart, dammit.

I came home from midterms with straight fucking A's when I was juggling FFA, NHS, basketball, art club, academic bowl, Spanish club, speech, ROCKSTARS, student council, and JOOI, not to mention a job, boyfriend, and social life. That means I'm freaking good at school.

I work hard to get my stuff done.

Not just out of the need to learn, but out of respect for my teachers who are spending their own time and money to get me somewhere.

I got a 26 on the ACT without studying. Not bragging, just fact. Pretty sure that means I'm decently smart. Not overly, but decently.

I have character, dammit.

I do things for the right reasons.

I stand up for what I believe is right.

I stand up for myself and my friends.

And sometimes even people I don't give a shit about!

Why? Because I am a good fucking person, and I try. I actually don't want to go to Hell, so I try to be someone I would be proud of.

All the cool/nice/unnecessary things I have I bought myself. Paid for myself. Saved up for myself. Worked for myself.

The grades I come home with I worked for myself. Put the time in for myself. Earned myself.

The character I'm working on getting, I work for every day. Read about every day. Think about every day. Pray about every day.

Am I a saint? I sure as hell am not. Never will be.

What I am is someone I would want to be.

Strong.

Smart.

Independent.

Hardworking.

Responsible.

Respectful.

And I am proud of myself.

If you take that as a cocky, arrogant, egotistical, thinks-she-owns-the-place "cunt", good for you.

I'm better than that.

Or at least I'm trying to be.
