My Transformation pt. I

I think I am a pretty decent human being. I am fairly attractive... at least I have been told that I am. I have a pretty interesting personality. I'm a social butterfly with tons of friends. But it hasn't always been this way.

I was a nobody pretty much throughout my freshman year of high school. I had low self-esteem because I didn't quite think I was like the other boys in school. It seemed as all the popular boys were very athletic, tall, wore nice clothes, etc. I was just beginning to lose my childhood plumpness and my clothes didn't fit quite right. I went to a predominently white elementary school in the burbs previous to attending high school and I didn't really know what was hip. I remember in 9th grade, I went to school looking like a complete dork and I didn't even realize how uncool I looked until two "popular" girls came up to me and helped me out in the beginning of sophmore year. (I guess they noticed potential in me, lol). I even remeber the getup I had on. It was this ugly purple and orange polo shirt made by BOSS AMERICA (I know, I know... I still can't believe it- I used to be a mess) and I had it buttoned all the way up. I also had the shirt tucked into my jeans with a belt. Well walking through the halls one day, these two girls (Portia and Katrice- can't believe I remember their names too) came up to me and just went to work. They unbuttoned a couple of the buttons on my shirt so that I could breathe, and untucked my shirt from my pants. I had never ever worn any shirt outside of my pants (including tee shirts). Little did these girls know, that they were responsible for creating the new me.

From that point on I never tucked my shirt into my pants again or buttoned my shirt so tight... unless of course I was dressed formally.

I began working a lil part time job where I made lots of money and spent all of it on clothing basically. I later began working at The GAP (every high schoolers dream job) and got a discount for shopping- how cool was that!

I wasn't involved in anything outside of classes and never once did I date someone I went to school with, although I really did crush on a few people there. I had plenty of friends while in high school, most of them were attractive females too. They all thought of me as just the "cool guy" friend. I did have male friends too, it just was that I got a long better with females.

By the time I graduated high school, i knew and got along with most of the popular crowd. I was one of them. It was a good feeling to go from what I was to what i developed into.

When I moved from home and went to college I decided to turn my life around. The transformation contiuned.
