My name is Bella Swan, and I was a nerd. Looking back on my high school experience, I realized that I was a full blown glasses, zits, and do-homework- early nerdgasm. Being the type of nerd I was, though, got me into my desired college, internship and, eventually, my dream job.

I was constantly picked on as a teenager, causing me to be very intrapersonal and logical. At points I find myself struggling to order pizza over the phone. Some good things have come out of my troubled childhood, though. I was an overweight child, which was the focal point of my constant teasing. All that teasing led me to be more concerned about my health and appearance.

Once I left high school and started my freshman year of college, I became active in sports. When I started my junior year I had lost 50 pounds and had gained 5 pounds of muscle. I then flipped my attention to my appearance. I was never really worried about my appearance. My philosophy, if it's comfy, clean, and doesn't have any holes, it's perfect for any occasion.

But my philosophy wouldn't always work, especially for the type of job I wanted. So I joined Design Club, and became better acquainted with my fashionable side. On my first interview, I strutted into the shiny 100 floor building, and was openly gawked at, by both men and women, and I smiled the whole time.

That day I earned my job I wanted since childhood as a Forensic scientist. I now work with the F.B.I. and assist them with cases. I recently was coveted the award for forensic science research and development. For my outstanding work, I was given a pay raise and a month off of work.

Little did I know that in that month, my life would change and never return to the way I once knew it.
