[/i] ayla lincolnname,
age, [/i] twenty three
high school, [/i] st. valentine's academy
who were you in high school? if i were to be completley honest, i was that girl that was well liked and well known by everyone. all the guys wanted in my pants and all the girls wanted to be my friend. i didn't have the best clothes, but my personality drew in so many people. i'll admit, i was kind of a slut back in the day. i slept around a bit. and even helped guys cheat on their lowlife girlfriends. i mingled with the art kids, and hung out with the jocks. i had more guy friends than anything. i was a party girl. i was just trying to figure myself out, like every other high school student.
college & major, [/i] fordham university, dance
marital status, [/i] single
kids, [/i]
how many, one
names & how you chose it, molly, it was the name of my grandmother. she was the woman who raised me after my father died, and i wanted to honor her memory.
job, [/i] back forty restaurant
position, hostess/waitress
how long you’ve had the job, a year and a half
are you happy, yes, i have to be
what is your salary, it's good enough to where i can live off of it.
what kind of things do you spend money on, molly, food, bills, movies, groceries, and myself
what’s your typical day like, [/i]
I'll usually drag myself out of bed and wake up Molly and get her breakfast and get her ready for school. I'll usually throw on some sweatpants and a tshirt and then I drive her to school. After that, I come home and i'll probably go back to sleep. I'll usually wake up around 10 or 10:30, and then I'll fix me some breakfast. I'll throw on my clothes, fix my hair and do my makeup. After that, I'll check my messages and check my emails. I'll usually head out to work, and then after work, I pick up Ayla. On some nights, we hang out together and cuddle before she goes to sleep. Sometimes, I'll get my grandfather to babysit to spend time with friends. It usually just depends.
what life dreams did you have in high-school, have you accomplished them, [/i]
I wanted to graduate with high honors and get a degree in dance, and I actually did that!
what is a significant change within the past five years, [/i]
I have a child now. And she is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Even if I did have her at such a young age. I wouldn't change a single thing about my life. Ever.
are you the same person you were five years ago, [/i]
I would like to say I am, but I'm sort of not. I've grown. I've changed. I'm more mature, more responsible. I'm more understanding. I'm able to control my temper. I still am sort of wild, but I'm a mother. I can't be totally wild all the time. I'm still just Ayla, but more adult Ayla. In a way, I guess.
if you could go back and change one thing what would it be, [/i]
The way things were with my mom. Or, are. Either way, we haven't talked since I was pregnant with Molly, and she's never really been there for me throughout my childhood, or adolescence. I've wanted to reach out to her and call her, but my heart just won't let me. I can't say I never want to talk to her, but the phone works both ways, you know?
what is one thing you feel has remained the same, [/i]
My want for adventure. I've always been big on traveling, and wanting to see the world. I've taken Molly on road trips, and we just love being out on the world together. Being in a new town is something that I love. New people. New place. New feel. They don't know you. They won't judge you. Everything feels like starting over, you know? I've always been an avid traveler and wanting to see every part of the world, and that's something that I'll always do. Always.
what is your biggest achievement, [/i]
I guess for me, being able to raise Molly almost completley on my own. Having a steady job. Having a home. And being able to have fun on my own. Molly is someone I cherish and love completley. I wouldn't trade her for the world. I know it's weird to say that she is, an achievement, but she is. I don't know what my life would be like without her. I can't imagine.
and your biggest mistake, [/i]
Not keeping contact with my mother over the years, for sure. If I had kept contact, maybe things wouldn't be as bad as they are now. I only talk to her to get money for Molly. She only calls when she wants something. I kill myself for not reaching out. I really do.
finally, what is your fondest life memory thus far,[/i]
Graduating from college, and having Molly.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/sub][/font]
