Nice to meet you.

        So, I figured I should begin my blog by introducing myself. My name is Kendra and I am seventeen years old. I know, I don’t have too many years under my belt but I am trying to take it day by day.
       I am approaching my senior year of high school, and cannot wait to be graduated. I know, I know, it is bad to wish your life away but I am very ready to move on to college. Quick facts about me: I am a swimmer, I play the viola, and I love to read and write. My life at home is quite hectic due to the three big dogs we have and four cats to go along with them. We have a huge Saint Bernard who is a giant teddy bear. But he also loves to bark, and man, can he bark. My family also has two Akitas, who are a little over a year old, so they are full of energy. We actually just a kitten as well, and he is a little Spitfire. Our other three cats have not taken a liking to him yet, but we are getting there. I live with my mom and dad but I have an older brother who lives in Virginia. He’s all grown up and living on his own. Well, I don’t want to bore you with my whole life story. Moving on!
       I have always been an extremely shy person; I do not open up to people quickly and often times find it difficult talking to people I just meet. Once I do become close to someone, however, I am completely open and, yes, a bit crazy. So, I wanted to start this blog to get over my shyness and strive to fulfill my dreams. I am in love with reading, and naturally, writing so I figured blogging would be the perfect fit. I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with my life, so I am hoping blogging will help me lay out my life and find my path. Cheesy, yes, but effect I am hoping it will be. Just thought I would throw in some Yoda talk to spice it up.
       I want to go out and truly live my life. I figure if I can learn more about myself and the things that I love, I will be able to find my way. So, voilà, this blog was born. I will be blogging about my life, my interests, things that I do, when I have a great day or maybe even when I have a horrible day. Life is about treasuring the wonderful moments, but also realizing they aren’t all fabulous. I try to keep this in mind when I’m having a bad day, because I can realize that tomorrow could be the best day of my life. My blog will be about it all, so I hope you enjoy! Thanks for reading!
       Oh! Also a quick note on the name. When I was a baby, my dad gave me the nickname “Stinkerbug.” I have no clue why, he said it just fit, so it has stuck ever since. It is something dear to me, so I thought it was appropriate to name my blog “It’s a Bug’s Life.” Bye for now! (:
