I never had to choose my subject - Julia Wilson

Fears: Public shootings, dying young, sharks, incurable diseases, ending up alone
Annoyances: Slow walkers, materialistic people, when people talk over other people/movies/etc.
Accomplishments: Reaching 1000 subscribers, making and staying on the dance team
Confusions: Why anyone would willingly be a physicist
Sorrows: That same sex marriage is still not legal in all 50 states, seeing people eating alone
Dreams: Adopt a boy from Africa, become a movie director/editor/producer, work at Disney World, leave a mark on the world
Idiosyncrasies: I edit videos for fun, i'm 16 years old and love Disney movies as much as my 4 year old cousins, overly excitable
Risks: Taking a year off after college to move to LA/NYC and see where the wind takes me
Beloved Possessions: Stuffed lamb (then), box of special photos/mementos (now), my laptop (now)
Problems: panic disorder, I tend to get really shy at the moments when being shy isn't good

I'm gonna talk about my fears:
Public Shootings- I'm not sure exactly what caused this fear but it developed freshman year and has since gotten worse, especially at school. There is just something about being in a building with someone armed and dangerous that is horrifying to me. I'm very hyper aware of my environment and the people around me at all times. This prompts really bad anxiety and panic attacks. Last year I had an episode in the middle of church and that's when I realized I had an issue. This year I've been able to get it more under control and even though it still scares me, I don't let it affect me as much.

Dying Young- I don't want to die before I've gotten to do everything I want to do. This includes getting eaten by a shark and dying of an incurable disease.

Ending up alone- Being lonely is the worst feeling, and no amount of success would be worth it if i didn't have someone to share it with.
