Kristin Wilson
Student in Cedar Hill, Tennessee
My name is Kristin. I live in Tennessee, but I am from Maryland. I miss being back home, but that's another story. lol
I love music; emo, punk, pop punk, pop, rock, country. I am pretty much all over the place. I can listen to almost anything except rap and slow stuff, and I prefer lyrical music over instrumental alone.
I am totally head over heels obsessed with the show Pretty Little Liars! I also love Dexter, Grey's Anatomy, Supernatural. I could go on forever! lol But those are the highlights! :D
I am a singer, although, I haven't been able to get in the studio in a long time, again, long story. But I was able to record my debut album in 2006, and I was in 2 music showcases in Nashville in '06 and '07!
Besides music and wanting to put that out there, I would really like to help people, especially those with mental illnesses and those who have been bullied or felt like they were not good enough. I want them to know that they are not alone, and that there are some of us who have been in the same place. My school years were horrible, because of bullying, and if I can be there for even one person who is going through it now, it would mean so much!
I am still dealing with the scars from years of emotional abuse. In many ways, I didn't have a safe place to go. Luckily, I never faced physical abuse, but sometimes I wished I had, at least then, maybe, people would see my pain.
At this point in my life I am still trying to figure out what I am supposed to do in my life. Growing up, and even in college, all I wanted was to be a singer. I think that's part of why I couldn't settle on a major in college, I have so many interests, but the passion was in singing.
As the years went on that dream has faded a little, mostly out of hopelessness. People saying that I would never make it because of how I look.
So now, while I work on dealing with all of my issues, I have decided that I am going to self teach myself. I'm mostly looking at science, medicine and pharmacy tech, but I am up for a lot of stuff! I was supposed to be going back to school for Pharmacy Tech, but I didn't qualify for the aid to cover books and supplies, and that is a big problem, since I don't have the money for that, if I had gone through with it I would have had to add more debt!
So basically, now I am trying to study on my own terms. Finding stuff online. Taking online tests and quizzes. Free online classes. Online flashcards. Etc.
