First Post!

Wow, so this is it...my first post on Lady Bug Stories!!! Well, I figure I should tell you a little bit about my own life and how it led me to where I am now.I'm eighteen years old, and I was born and raised on Long Island, New York, and now reside in Oswego, New York. Living on Long Island has certainly helped to shape the person I am today, from my accent to my impatience with the cashier at the Wendy's down the block when my order is taking more than five minutes to prepare ( I'm sure a lot of long islanders can relate to this feeling. Haha!). Of course, living on the island has helped me to grow quite fond of the Fire Island beach, it's one of my favorite places in the world! Perhaps the very reason I decided to study here at SUNY Oswego. SUNY Oswego is a beautiful place nestled on the shores of lake Ontario. The waves role in and out and at night, when I open my windows I can hear them, and for a minute I'm back on the island with my family and friends, watching the waves roll from the boat dock. and the sunsets here, fuhgeddaboutit--they're amazing!!But anyways, you may be wondering why I decided to create this little masterpeice I called Lady Bug stories.Well here's why: Life is hard, and we all have to get through it somehow, right? Well, these Lady Bug Stories are stories of obstacles I am facing in my life and the ways I deal with them. They are stories of tragedy, hope, love, fear, ambitions, endurance and everything in between. Lady Bug Stories are most importantly my stories, and I'm inviting you in on my life!!
