Entry 1- Good morning, sun.

My name is Ansley-Ann Sullivan, friends call me Ace, and although I may seem like your average everyday southern gal, I am far from it. I’ve grown up in a small town in South Carolina, lived in the same house for years, and been around the same faces yet I feel like a no-one. Since you don’t know me very well I guess I should first explain my features and attributes to better your understanding of the girl I was and the girl I am now. Born a blonde blue eyed beauty, I was envied as a child by many. Being as though I was raised to enjoy the outdoors most sports came naturally. Therefore, it is vital that I start by saying I ride horses; Well I guess now I’d have to say I did ride horses, that is, before adulthood set in. Before I made decisions that I never thought I would make. 

The summer started out like every other. That first morning I woke up to a bright light shining through the window of my room, a good morning sun at its highest peak in the sky. I remember having an inkling that this summer would be different and somehow it would be one that I would never ever forget. Boy was I right. I wasn’t like the teenagers that lived around me that had just got out of the everyday slum we call high school. I had just finished my eleventh grade year doing homeschool for the first time in my life, due to a lack of discipline in the local high school which my parents had finally gotten sick of. I, of course, loved that fact that I could do work at my own pace and not worry about the stupidity of immature children disrupting my learning but others did not. I had a lot of criticism from my family worried that I was missing crucial socialization, but to me I hated the world and was way happier in my little room on my own. I had lost touch with many friends from “brick and mortar” school and just had acquaintances at the stable I worked at.  Ah, the stable. That is a good place to start.
