Who Am I Really? (Blog #1)

To answer the question of who am I? Well, my name is Arden Jacobs. I am a senior at Mason High School. After graduation, in May, I will be attending college. I got accepted to the University of Cincinnati in to the McMickon College of Arts and Sciences for Neuroscience, in December 2012. I want to become a neurologist. I love learning about things, especially about the brain. That and I have always wanted to become a doctor. So yes, I will be going to school for about 8 years. I realize that is a long time, but I think it will be totally worth it! I want to be that person to cure Alzheimer's or schizophrenia. 

I'm going to be honest, I have done almost no volunteering, but I do have a job. I have worked at Cedar Village Retirement for over a year now. I work in dietary as a server. I have trained at least 4 people since I have been there. This proves that I am a good, hard worker. Not only that, but I am reliable, trustworthy, intelligent, nice, and very shy. When I went into my interview for my job, I got super embarrassed because I am socially awkward and those situations make me feel uncomfortable. But she excused  my awkwardness because she could see that behind my awkwardness I was a good, young person. 

My parents got a divorce freshman year. This was probably the worst time for them to do this. I believe high school is where a person really becomes who they are supposed to. This is the time their brain (a teenagers) finishes developing the personality part. So, when they became separated  this severely effected me. I started to become more distant, because now I don't really like being around a lot of people. It is also really hard for me to trust people. Not just my parents fault, past relationships have also had there part on harming my life. But out of all the pain I have gone through in the past 4 years, I have found a couple great people! Without them, I  honestly do not know where I'd be. They are my best friends, and they have helped me become a stronger more independent person. If they happen to read this, I hope you know that I greatly appreciate your help, and I love you dearly ♥. 

Even though this is not all of me, people still need that element of mystery. So, if you would like to know more, you know where to find me :) I am *though I don't really like people, I feel the need to help no matter what* always open.
