My sister and I went to Sunday school every week at our church after we moved in with our grandparents. I made a lot of friends there at my church. One girl I met when I was three is still one of my best friends today even though I have moved around a lot.

One day our teacher went around the classroom asking us what our favorite foods were. The usual pizza, nachos, hamburgers, fries, and the sort was the response from all of my friends. When the question got me I replied very matter-of-fact "well pickles and salad". The classroom erupted in a melody of "ew!" amid all of the laughter. No one really made fun of me, just thought it was different. I guess it was a strange answer from a little kid.

To this day, I try not to follow the crowd. I strive to be an individual. I don't say that in a gothic, stay at home and hate society way. I just think that one reason people like me so much is that I am different and have opinions. I'm interesting to talk to.

Pickles and salad still rank high among my favorite foods, though I have incorporated the pizzas in.
