Personal Story
I was raised with music, television, and the rapid explosion of information and technology. I am apart of the generation that some my mother calls the first truly multicultural and multimedia generation. I live in a society where I can access technology easily and determine my own potential for success. For the first time in my life, I will experience autonomy and discover new roles in family, work, society, and the Church as I begin college, and journey into my first job, or marriage. I have seen 18 years of life, and those years have been full of life! I have lived the maybe not so typical average white, Caucasian female life. I attended Saint Mary's Catholic school, Abe Hubert and then Garden City High School. I like to consider myself just American.

My attitude towards my virginity was rather complicated. I didn't think that being a virgin was bad, but I didn't want to be one. I was frustrated because I wanted to have sex for the sake of sex, but I was also embarrassed that other people would realise that I whether or not I was saving myself, I didn't have anybody to have sex with. So mainly I was upset about not having a proper chance to have sex, and other people knowing this. There were a few times that I probably could have had sex with a boy, but I didn't because I didn't want the boy. I count that as not having an opportunity.
