Two Truths And A Lie: Guess which is the lie
1. I was in cheerleading (severely twisted my ankle and bruised my arm from being tossed improperly), dance team (won several national awards with my team), tennis (played when I was a kid so joined the team and had to quit shortly thereafter due to other organizations), track and field (joined kinda as a dare but stayed on the team until a knee injury prevented me from continuing), marching band (where I played pit percussion and marching percussion and served as the tap-off snare drum and served as section leader for two years), symphonic winds (where I started on flute and moved to keyboards as sort of a trial run, which ended up changing my life completely), yearbook (where I managed to get elective credit for doing minimal work), national honor society (where I missed almost all the meetings and fulfilled all my community service hours of four years during the week prior to the deadline), and spanish national honor society (achieving all A+’s in my spanish classes, earning my red cords for graduation, and never learning the language at all) over the span of middle and high school.
2. I had my first kiss backstage in the school cafeteria my freshman year with a boy I really really liked but didn’t like me back.
3. I celebrated my eighth birthday (party and all) in October instead of December because I was sick and tired of getting “birthday-slash-christmas gifts.” I wanted a gift for my birthday and then two weeks later I wanted a seperate gift for christmas. I was a kid; I was selfish.

CTS

[End notes: I don’t remember what CTS stood for. I managed to re-read this five years after writing it and it still made me laugh. I didn’t do most of the things I wanted to do 12 months from writing this. All three of the “two truths and a lie” are true.]
