<p>I'm currently a Junior in high school with only one year of an extracurricular activity(Newspaper), and that was in Freshman year. Reason being is because I was raised by overprotective parents(Mom's the boss) who's been sheltering me since Kindergarten. Unlike everyone else at school, due to my parent's racial beliefs, I could never hang out with any of my friends afterschool(And vice versa), even when one of us were throwing a birthday party. </p>
<p>My mom also buys my clothes(Polo shirts), although I've been wearing about the same sets of shirts since Freshman year, cause she simply doesn't care. On top of that, my cousin, who goes to that school, unknowingly rubs in my face all day the freedom she has. Unlike my parents, her mom(Dad died couple years ago) allowed her to do what I couldn't. No, I can't drag them into this, as our family's aren't even that close, else she would have been my carpool. </p>
<p>That kind of life made me grow up into a loner since I couldn't really see the point in hanging out with anyone when Mom keeps me at the house all day. Can't sneak out either cause I got caught once, and being punished really ain't worth it. Ended up being interest in being a technologist, although there's a couple of problems. One is my lack of afterschool activities to put on a college application(Wanted to play Soccer, and be in band) but Mom never really had the time to drop me off. </p>
<p>Second is that I'm not really concerned about whether or not I actually make it. Mom gave me enough verbal abuse to crush any ambition I had as a kid, so I'm not actually that picky about what kind of job I actually manage to get, long as it's something stable and allows me to actually own a house(Not a rip-off condo, apts). I'm aware this is kind of a bad mindset, but not to certain what to do since I'm this sheltered.</p>
