Welcome to the Wonderful World of Jourdain...
If having to call my self a hero, I would say that I am the Transcendent Hero. With a troubling past, nightmare memories and still a rockypresent, I look to the future knowing that I will make it through. All of my mistakes and past failures have brought me and will bring me success because I have learned from them. Jourdain Alesia Nicot is my birth name, and I for one think my name is p-e-r-f-e-c-t! October fourteenth is a national holiday on my calender. The first thing that people should know about me is that I am one-hundred percent random.

Sculpting a Future
We fuss, argue, and at times I cannot stand her but at the end of the day no matter what happens I know that she loves me dearly. I know she will always be there for me. I know if the world decided to shun me one day, she would be the one person who will hold my hand. She is my mother as well as my friend, and I love her more than anything.

Lurking in the Shadows
"To light a candle is to cast a shadow." -Ursula Le Guin
A shadow is a figure that never leaves you. It watches your every move and in fact mirrors it. My shadow, is myself. Everyday I must conquer small battles verses myself. There are two sides to me, almost like I suffer from split personality disorder. One side of me is the Jourdain that my friends, family, teachers and the public sees. She is a normal teenage girl. She plays volleyball, she goes to the mall and watches movies on a rainy day. The other side of Jourdain, I call her Jasmine. She is devious and dark. She comes out when Jourdain is alone and sometimes in front of other people. She tells Jourdain negative thoughts and fills her head with dangerous and crude ideas and dreams. Jasmine is the complete opposite of Jourdain. Jourdain is an optimistic person, she is someone who doesn't like to dwell on the bad things in life, but Jasmine does. Jasmine believes life is one big chance to mess up and spend an eternity stuck in one big depressed life. Jourdain wants to travel, see the world, and explore. However Jasmine tells her all the time that it will never happen. Jasmine tells her lies of how she is weak and never will leave Mesquite Texas.

Dre'Anna Banana!
"A friend is one who knows us, but loves us anyway."
-Jerome Cummings
It was a warm sunny day in Mesquite. Not a cloud was in the sky and a slight breeze swept across the playground at J.R. Thompson Elementary school. Me, a third grader then was running around on the play ground when I saw a girl who looked like my old best friend from my old school, Stephanie. I frantically began waving my arms and running towards the girl, shrieking, "Stephine! Stephine! Stephine!" When I finally got to the the girl, she gave me a weird look and told me her name was Dre'Anna, not Stephine. After questioning her, I apologized and ran back to the swings. That day was the day I met my best friend, Dre'Anna Biffle.
Dre'Anna Biffle is my trickster in my life. She and I have been friends since the third grade and through all those years, to this day I still consider her one of the few people I love and trust. Dre' and I have endured insane and ludicrous moment during our friendship.

Ones That Make the Firsts and the Lasts
Every hero needs a band of companions The ones that they go to when they are sick of the world. My band of companions consist of some unlikely and unusual characters. Along with Dre'Anna, comes my friend Callie McGovern.
Callie and I have been friends for almost eleven years. She was pretty much first best friend. She and I both alike but very different. We have been through hard times and when I look back, she has always had my back or been there for me. Callie is more like my sister. We argue, bicker, fight and ignore each other but we practically grew up together. She knows pretty much a lot about me, and I her. She was there all those years my dad wasn't and showed me love and compassion. For years when we were younger, I would spend every weekend with her, always. Now that we are older, dealing with the hard times the economy has brought, we see each other whenever we can. I pray for her every night and love to hear her voice. No matter happens in my life, I will always love and cherish her.
Eric Shelton, is one of the funniest people in the world! Eric, knowing him since the fourth grade he has been there for me through all the drama middle school and now with freshman year at an end, he and I are still close. Eric is someone you can trust with your secrets. He is real and is honest. Eric is one of the coolest and most laid back insane person I have ever met. He gives me a hug every day and smiles, which usually puts me in a good mood. I hope Eric and I stay friends for a long time because I believe everyone needs an Eric Shelton in their life.
Briana Medina is definition of weird and unusual! Although she and I have been friends for almost a year, I trust her. She makes me smile and is just like me! Crazy, insane, bubbly, and just a regular cool too for school nerd! I have told Bri secrets that I haven't told people that I have known for years. She is easy to talk to and she has opened up to me and trusts me with her beloved secrets. Bri will be a Freshman next year and I am excited for her to experience all of the things I did, and hopefully more! I look forward every day talking to her and giggling at her interesting stories everyday. She is one of the lamest people that I know and I like her just like that!
Last but defiantly not least is my boyfriend of almost three months, Marcel Williams. I have never been a boy crazy girl and having a boyfriend was my priority while I was in middle school. Finally I gave up looking for the perfect boyfriend, and just decided the right one would come to me whenever I was ready. During Spring Break I received a text from a boy I had met a few months earlier, asking me if I wanted to go to the movies with him. Bored out of mind and ready to take new chances, I accepted and brought along my friend Che'. The next three days after that we hung out and text each other. I began to grow fond of him, then I began to like him. On March 21, 2009 he asked me to be his girlfriend. Marcel is someone that I can talk to, joke around with and just be myself with him. He listens to me and treats me with respect. He loves spider man, and Michigan State and most of all football. He calls me a lame and a nerd but he is just as much as a nerd as me! We roll around in the grass, take silly pictures, slow dance in the middle of the street to oldies, wrestle each other, and have competitions to see who can call each other the most rude names. He really makes me happy and I love being with him. I pray that however long we are together, he continues to make me smile, bringing me true happiness to my life.
