I consider myself to be a Heartless Bitch because I know what I want,
and I know how to get it, even if I have to take the circuitous route.
When I was in high school, even though I wanted desperately to go to
college, I knew that my parents couldn't afford it; and also that I was
not disciplined enough to work and study at the same time. I am not
close with my family, after being kicked out of the house by my mother
at age 12, so I knew there was no help to be found down that avenue. So
I joined the Navy. Now, six years later, I am poised to enter college
using my savings and the help available from the military. I know what I
want to do, and I know how to reach my goals.
I also am willing to stand up for my beliefs. After Bush took office, I
realized that my ideals and his did not mesh. Even though I knew it
would be rough on me, both financially and mentally (I now am working at
a hellish retail job to pay the bills until school starts) I decided to
get out of the Navy. Although I still love my country and am
(occasionally) proud of what we can accomplish, I am not willing to die
for this administration.
My forthright attitude carries over into my personal life, as well. I am
often introduced to strangers as "The one who has no tact," but I have
also been told that I am the one my friends come to when they want
realistic, action-oriented advice. I won't sit there and pat their backs
and mutter platitudes, I will try my best to give them a plan of attack
to solve their problems and put them back on top. I love and support my
friends to the best of my ability. I try my best to treat people the way
I want to be treated. Even though I'm not religious, I believe
wholeheartedly in the golden rule.
