S a r a h
I grew up in Burlington, Massachusetts. My immediate family consists of Mom, Dad, Step-dad, Zoika (sister, 23), and Ramona (sister, 16). I lived here in Burlington all my life, until last year when I moved to Arlington (MA) out on my own. As a kid I definitely did not get along with or appreciate my family as much as I do now. Now, I have a really close and good relationship with my mother and it means a a lot to me. Not only is my Mom always there for me, but she's cool and we hang out, I really enjoy that.
Art:
I love doing work in my multi-media sketch book (water color, colored pencils, etc). I've been wanting to get an expensive camera for photography, I cant wait to take photos using my friends as models so they can see how beautiful they are!
Music:
I love music! If I want to wake myself up in the morning I'll put on something happy & upbeat to get excited about the day. If I want to feel relaxed I'll light some candles and put on some meditation music or soundscapes. I got a keyboard a few years ago and started messing around with it. I've always wanted to learn how to play the acoustic guitar, sing and write my own music. Music is essential to me if I am going to the gym, on a nature walk, or skiing.. Music just makes everything better.
Film:
I love watching movies. I'm really good at predicting what will happen next in movies and shows. I try to look at it from the directors perspective and think "What are they trying to tell me in this scene?"
Fashion:
I love clothes--fashion is art to me; I love putting together outfits or even just looking at pictures of fashion models. When I see an outfit I like I try to find a way to duplicate it using whatever I can find in my room, even if I don't have the exact pieces, I use my imagination and make it work. Sometimes I amaze myself at how I can duplicate what a model is wearing in a picture just by manipulating random pieces of clothing that I can scrape together in my room (using a shirt for a skirt, or a scarf for a shirt, etc).
My Dreams:
If my life long dream came true: I would be designing my own clothes, running a very successful clothing store, and using the money to help people (orphans, poor, sick, etc). But, since I haven't got there yet, I like to volunteer when I can. I'm always trying to think of others throughout my day, and do my part to make this world a better place. I care about others, a lot, I'm always complimenting people or doing things to make them feel good. Right now I'm working as an after-school teacher. I love my job. I wake up happy to go to work because I get to be surrounded by young, happy people. I think they look up to me and it is my pleasure to give them all of my attention.

Jason would describe me as:
Funny - Kind - Crazy - Caring - Sweet - A Mess
Before my friend Jason passed away this Christmas, a recent text from him to me read:
"You're one of the sweetest people I know, I'm lucky to have you in my life"
I try to wake up every morning see the world like this.
The world can be a magical place if you adjust the way you look at things and
stay happy minded.
stay happy minded.
I have pictures from my past hung
All over my bedroom walls
Making me feel secure - they remind me everything will be okay
Sometimes when you're lonely
All can feel insecure; like the ground underneath you could shatter
Family & friends saved me from my self
Each night maybe they prayed for me, perhaps that made me well
One of the most important things about me is I am always laughing, being silly, and making jokes!
Always!
