Also Known As The Unbalanced Hero!

My name is Brittany Racquel Jackson- Griffin. On a regular day I talk on the phone, text, watch TV and get on the computer. I like to spend my weekends and free time with my friends at the movies, mall, and out to eat. I'm a Christian and I love to go to church and be involved. I attend John Horn High School and I am involved in Yearbook and JV Drill. I love to dance, go to parties, and just have fun. I hate going to bed upset or mad at anybody and drama is the last thing I want to be apart of even though it always finds a way to include me. I absolutly love attention and can be a big baby at times which some of my friends hate but has gotten use to.

Most would probably say im the "Unbalanced Hero". My life has been on a emotional roller coaster ever since middle school and its gotten even worse this year. In fact, every single one of my friends say I'm an emotional wreck! I don't like to hear it but I know its the truth. Im the sensitive friend who always lets things get to her and always cares about what others think of her. I'm always either happy or sad, goofy or serious, up or down. That's just me, but its okay because thats what friends are for!

The Quest To Find Happiness

Im on a journey and it's the quest to find happiness. Although I wear a smile on my face almost everyday, doesn't mean that I'm completly happy with myself or my life. It means maybe I'm having a good day, or maybe I just don't like for people to see me upset or down because then I have to explain myself, or just maybe I happen to like smiling. People point out my humungous smile out all the time and assume that I'm a happy person and happy with my life. It's true that I am a happy person but sometimes that big smile is just covering up for my dissatisfication in myself and the life I live. You see, I feel like I always have to satisfy everybody else and that really sucks at the end of the day because I end up not satisfying myself and being unhappy. But it's time to complete my journey so that I can be the happiest person on the planet. You see that picture up above? Well that picture explains it all. You know when you were little and you use to always hear those tales about the leprechaun at the end of the rainbow happy as can be because he had found his gold? Well one day I'm going to be that leprechaun at the end of the rainbow happy as can be because I've finally found happiness. Now I know obstacles will pop up along the way but I'm willing to fight back by not letting anything get to me or interfer with my quest because I'm not going to let anyone or anything stop me. I plan on ending my journey at the end of that rainbow and I know my true friends will help me along and be super happy for me.

Also Known As Bestfriends!

This is my best friend Katherine Ann Hall. We have been best friends for 2 years. We've always been cool but we recently got closer in the 8th grade. This girl and I have been through so much its unbelievable but through the thick and thin we always somehow make it through together. She is one of the best things thats ever came into my life. Whenever I get off track she's always there to make sure that I get back on. Whenever I get distracted by boys she makes sure that I get my priorities sraight. Although sometimes I can't stand her, I will always love her like a sister. She will always and forever be my best friend and no one can ever come between us!

This is my second best friend Dexavion Grigsby, also known as Dj or my Hunnie Bunn. He is the coolest friend you could ever have. He always keeps you crunk and keeps it 100% real. He's the friend most people need. He's a true friend who doesn't always tell you what you want to hear but what you need to hear! Not only is he a true crunk friend he is a faithful friend too. No matter what others thought of me he always stuck by my side and told me to not care about what others think and to just ignore the haters. Dj is so special to me and I never want to loose him. He is my Hunnie Bunn forever!

Obstacle One!

This is my Twinkie also known as Jessica. Although she can be an amazing friend at times sometimes she places obstacles in my journey. For an example, I have a guy friend who is one of my closest friends and who I chill with all the time but the problem is she likes him and they use to "talk". Some of you might be asking, "Well, whats the issue?" Everytime him and I are together she gets suspicious and thinks something is going on between us and gets mad at me. So me always trying to satisfy people, I have to go and talk to her and see how I can help. And of course she wants me to stop talking to him and being that cool with him. Well the problem is I enjoy having him as a friend and thats causing me to loose a close friend. Remind you, this is a big obstacle for me but not one I can't overcome. I settle this situation by letting her know that I'm keeping him as a friend and that she's just going to have to get use to it. We end up cooperating with each other and making the situation good for the both of us. Now not only is she happy but I am too. Even though Jessica is like my threshold guardian, its okay because at the end of the day she still is a good friend. She just tests my loyalness to my journey and reminds me that this road is going to be bumpy.

DRAMA, DRAMA, GO AWAY!

The Shadow archetype in my journey would have to be drama. If I could completly eliminate it out of my life I would. Being in high school where you have nothing but haters, I struggle almost everyday with drama. Even though I try and stay far, far, far away from it, it always seems to find a way to put me in the mix of it all. Drama stresses me out and gets in the way of me completing my journey. I feel like its the worst thing in my journey. When I have days at school without any drama, those are my best days! That's when you see me with my humungous smile on my face.

He Keeps Me Laughing!

This is my big brother Bryan Lott. We just met this year but we became extremely close really fast. I feel like I've known him forever and like he's my real big brother. I guess you could say that he's tha big brother I never had. This boy right here is the trickster in my life. Whenever I'm down he always knows how to make me laugh. He sings this song eveytime I'm down and it gets me to laugh every single time. It's not even a funny song but I guess it's the way he sings it. I'm very upset that he's graduated this year but hopefully we stay close. I love him like a brother and I never want us to fall apart!

This is Tory. He is the coolest friend I have! He keeps me laughing. Everytime we talk I'm laughing. Even when I try and be mad at him, I can't because he always finds a way to make me laugh. He's fun to chill with and I always have a great time whenever we're together. Even if its a drive down the street. He's also graduated this year and I'm very upset about that too but I know me and him will always be cool forever! We could never end our friendship, no matter who tries to tear it apart!

The Struggle

I'm a very goofy person and at most times I joke around but sometimes I feel like my friends don't take me serious when I talk about something thats really important to me. Some of them can tell when I'm for real but most of them don't get the serious hint and that makes me angry because when I'm serious they're still trying to joke and play around. I think maybe I should give them a better hint from now on forward because it's very important to me that I'm taken serious at times.
