Hi. My name is Elizabeth Berrett, and most of you probably didn't know I was even in this class. And no, it is not because I am a tourist. I just like being in the backround and listening to everyone else. Is that a bad thing? You decide.

Let's see. What do Julianna Jane and I have in common? Not a lot, except for the fact that we hate feet and love music. That's about it. She is so much braver than I'll ever be. She's more blunt with her feelings and isn't afraid to say what's on her mind. But I'm learning from her. I've been making friends, getting out of my comfort zone, and taking #risks and asking myself WWJD? (what would Julianna do)

But enough about her. I want to tell you about myself.
I was born in Riverton, Utah and moved to Highland when I was four. I've never moved since. I've told people that I hate living in Utah, but that is the biggest lie. If I lived anywhere else I'd probably be on drugs. So yes, I do love this bubble I live in.

I have the most amazing family in the world. A lot of people think that I don't like my brother because he never calls me. For a while, I hated him and didn't consider him family. But then I realized I was being selfish because he's out serving this country and making it possible for everyone else to have their freedom. I love my brother. I get in too many arguments with my mom. She thinks I don't talk to her much. I don't talk much at home. Ever. She thinks I have some sort of depression and that any day I could take my life. Honestly, I don't talk to her because I'm afraid that she'll be dissapointed in what I say. But I do love her and care about her, I just don't know how to say it.

I got my arm pulled out of my socket when I was one, I broke my arm when I was two, I had to get stitches in the second grade because I fell, I broke my pinky in the seventh grade because I ran in the railing, I sprained my ankle in ninth grade and I hyperextended my knee last summer. My life is full of mistakes and accidents.

I am really bipolar when it comes to people. I will either love you, or be terrified of you. There is no in between. I am honestly the most awkward person you will ever meet. I really do love meeting new people, but when it happens I get shakey, my face turns red way too often, and I accidently say really stupid things. And then I remember it for the rest of my life.

I really don't think anyone will even care about this post, but it feels good to let people know why I do certain things and who I actually am.
