I'm Max .. quite an odd name for a girl.. but that's what my parents named me. I wanted to change my name so bad because I've gotten so many questions on why I have a boy's name.

My parents said it was unique. AND, they also admitted that my birth name was Maggie when I was age 7. Soo.. that's my real name. I'm kinda comfortable with by name now so.. just call me Max...

ENOUGH ABOUT MY NAME. I'm 17 yrs old, about to enter first year college. My parents are still deciding on what school I'll be going to. So I basically have an "extended" vacation.

It is now Christmas break and we had the following four weeks all to ourselves. No school, no work. But my dad decided that we spend the next 5 days in my grandmother's birth place. Too bad my grandmother can't join us..

So, it was just us three.. Me, my Mom, and my Dad.. my brother Jake has a life of his own in his appartment with his bitchy girlfriend. Who I somehow either Can't relate, or can't get along with..

Jake hated me for that cause. He also dropped out of college and now works part-time cashier at a cheap store.

Now, he only earns $150 a month. Not enough to pay his appartment so, he just calls my parents for help. That's fairly what he gets..

I graduated highschool as an honor student, and earned lots of money for it. That REALLY helped my parents out.
