Starling: A bird native to Asia and Europe. They are known for their noisy nature. They are always singing. She gave me that nickname because they were her favourite bird. She knew everything about starlings. Whenever I see one it reminds me of her, I miss her. I'm Annabelle, but you can call me Starling. I am 17 years old and am finally in my last year of high school. You are probably wondering "huh, Starling is a weird name." and yeah it is. My mom used to call me Starling since she loved them so much. I live with my aunt Leslie and my uncle Stan. They took me in after my mother died from stage 4 brain cancer. I was 10 when she died. I had a dad but he left when I was 6, he never called me or tried to see me. He was just gone. Fast forward to now, grade 12 year!! I just need to make it past this year! It will be hard for me, since I still suck at paying attention... Right, I never told you. I was born with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Social Anxiety, and Depression. This honestly made growing up hard. I never knew what 'being normal' was like. Enough of that, I need to focus on how the heck I am gonna get through this year!! --------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for showing some interest in my writing!
