Introducing Myself.

Hey everyone, I'm Kiomi. I turned 18 on graduation day, and I am currently majoring in Psychology. My life's been pretty hectic, with moving around the world (against my will!), welcoming others into my family, and dealing with the regular teenage scenarios. I was born in Peru, where I saw my mother and father fight over me and my brother constantly. At 7, my mother moved us to Japan, where I spent 4 years of my life. I've truly been blessed over the years; seeing different cultures, learning various languages, and meeting countless people. I moved to the U.S.A. at the age of 11, and yet again, I was forced to learn another language. My father's been an absent figure in my life ever since I was 7, physically and economically. His absence made me realize how strong and independent of a woman my mom is, and that's why I was happy when she fell in love with my step dad. On a sunny Valentine's Day (cliché, I know), they got married. About a year later, he decided to go back to his roots to Italy, bringing me and my mom along this time. Can you imagine? Although I hated he fact of moving across the world, turns out the best time of my life was spent in Europe. I moved back to Florida in the middle of my sophomore year, where I started school at Barron Collier High. To this day, seeing various cultures and traveling still fascinates me. As far as personality goes, I'm a friendly, down-to-earth, and I guess you could say very sarcastic person. I wasn't very labeled in high school because I got along with just about everyone. My goal in life isn't to have a lot of money, or to have the best job in town. It's simply to be happy with who I am, what I've done, and what I've got.

  1. I'm so jealous that you've gone to all those places. Not many people get to see the world. I love your name too. :)

  2. I understand how you fell about your father, my dad has always been absent in my life from the very few visits and him passing away when I was eight. I'm happy your mom fell in love again, as did my mom. I'm glad you and your family are happy. :)

  4. I love the last sentence, it shows how optimistic you are. I'm sure you really had a lot of time to figure yourself out moving from country to country. I'm also a very sarcastic person and sitting by you this year should be fun.

  5. It seems like it must have really sucked trying to learn new languages all the time, especially knowing that you have to know it well in order to be able to survive in that society
