Renegade Summer

I've always wanted to be as free as a man but as pretty as a woman. It wasn't enough to achieve this ideologically and politically. There have been many women who sought high achievements and paired their conquests with power suits. No, this is not for me. Someone like me takes in each day as its own adventure, whatever it may bring. If you are a free spirit, then your ride or die is life its very self, or, if you are 17. For those of us who question the very underpinnings of our mundane lives, we rebel with our day-to-day choices- from fashion, to food, to the very way in which we see our work, families, and free time. After finishing the 11th grade, I definitely was looking forward my free time. Especially since, my parents were away with our family friends and decided I was old enough to be alone while the kind old lady downstairs check on me.
