Daniel McIntyre Collegiate Institute. Junior. 16. Blasian. October 24. Taken.
I'm just your average girl trying to fit in in the world. I'm an optimist, and a realist. I'm a really confusing person, but at the same time, I'm not. I'm really shy when you first get to know me, but when you meet me, you'll find that I'm the opposite of what you thought.
This is where I like to speak my mind, and talk about things wandering through my head at the moment. It's where my heart and mind let my feelings out.
I can't promise that everything that I'll do is perfect, but I promise that I'll try my best in everything I do.
'Live life to the fullest, and Live with no regrets.'
My name is Joysielyn. (joy-see-lin)
I got my name because of everything that occured before I was born. My mom had me at 17. And since getting pregnant at a young age was frowned upon, my grandpa wanted to give me away. He called his sister, Tessie, in the Phillipines, and told her that he had a child to give to her. His sister was sterile so she was over-joyed when she found out the news. She decided to put that in the child’s name, because she was so happy. I got the ‘joy’ in my name to represent her happiness, and the ‘sie’ because her name was Tessie, she wanted to show that the kid had a part of her as well.
When I was born, my lolo was the first one to see me. Since my dad was long gone, he was the father representative in my life. He was the first one to hold me, and he grew very attached to me very quickly. After giving me to my mom, he called his sister and told her that they we’re going to keep the child instead. My mom at the time, called me ‘Joysielyn’, adding an extra 3 letters to show that she had some authority in having me. She decided to keep the name because it was unique, and it seemed to fit me quite well.
