"Y" is for Yourself

A to Z Blogging Challenge - "Y" is for Yourself 

I've really enjoyed visiting different blogs and getting to know you a little bit through comments. I'd like to know more!


Writing Exercise: Write one paragraph that shares something about you. It can be about your favorite things, your personality, or about a specific childhood memory. Share in the Comments Section.  
My response is below.

I wanted to be just like Rachel with her long blond hair and her Jordash jeans with the comb sticking out the back pocket. I wanted to be cool, like Rachel. I was just an ugly duck, a military brat, trying to fit in, never having friends because we moved so often. My short permed hair and glasses were gross. I tried to imitate Rachel. The way she walked. The way she feathered her hair. If she did it, I did it. She often got mad at me for copy-catting her, but I just wanted her beauty to rub off on me.
