Eli's Perspective
My family always moved from place to place all around. It was always a struggle for us. My dad Bullfrog was a hard worker, but things never came easy for us. My mom Cece was the only one who tried to hold a job and raise me. Except once I was five I learned how to just do things myself.
I lived in a small community in Toronto, Canada for most of my teen life. We lived here since I was fourteen. This was definitely the longest we have stayed in one town. Although it is just like any other place, but one thing LOTS of drama. I am not talking about the little shows put on. No. No. No. I am talking full on fights and battles in the teen world, between cliques in school, or everyone having some sort of huge baggage that gets in the way of living. And it just all causes way too many problems. This is why I, Eli Goldsworthy is and will always be an outcast. I have learned to keep my space from people.
I have a low tolerance for people anyway, so school basically is my own personal hell hole. I try so hard to separate my life and me far away from anyone else. School just sucks for me when people cannot just treat me invisible, not that I gave a damn in the world if someone was gossiping about me. It is just I do not want to have anything to do with "teen drama 24/7" no thank you. I prefer not to associate with anyone at Degrassi, because to me it is all unnecessary…BULLSHIT!
The guys just want to act so immature and stupid. And the girls are total bitches. I am only at school for me, not anyone else. My parents said if was my choice and I do want an education so I can go to college and do something with my life. Plus I have learned from my parents mistakes. As in that I mean my parents dropped out of school and just raise me instead. Yeah that is right my mom had me when she was sixteen. So that is why we are so damn poor, most of the time because neither of them have a stable job or good career.
And I know what you are thinking "Just be home schooled…" Seriously, first off we have not a lot of money to pay for an extra program, my parents both work, and in the first place if we cannot afford the program obviously we cannot afford a tutor. Which is why I try to do my best, get around, and stay out of everyone's way. I tried so hard to block myself out and so far so good, mostly people treat me invisible…Thank you.
Oh and one more thing, you maybe all like "If you hate people how will your career work out? Won't you eventually have to work with people?" Well yes and no. First off these are teens I am dealing with right now. Now I know I am a teen myself it is just I had to grow up a bit earlier than everyone else. I am more mature and can totally see through people, I am not naïve and certain no one should mess around with me, because it will backfire at them. And secondly, I will probably be working mostly with animals when I get older.
Yes that is right I do have a soft side, but a side only my little brother sees. Oh SHIT! I completely screwed this story up. (Rewind) I have a little brother I have been looking out for since well most of my life. His name is Adam and he is only one year younger than I am. Yeah mom and dad were not good at using protection. Otherwise we wouldn't be here in this mess.
So yeah I love animals, I have a passion to take care of them and study them. I was thinking along the lines of marine biology. Science and English are my two best subjects. Not sure how English helps but I just added that in anyway. Why not? But definitely something involving animals, and working with them. (I love animals way better than people.)
Too bad I don't have any pets, because like I said with the money issues, but I do baby sit my neighbors pets. Also I am starting to work at a pet shop starting tomorrow after school. UGH! Weekend is over. I just hate getting up early. I am more of a night owl. Well Goodnight. Hopefully this job will be good. And people leave me alone at school.
