Ashley with the pink hair

Hello, my name is Ashley, and I go in high school in the us. I'm just a ordinary girl, but I have pink hair. My class and I just took the yearly group picture, and they photoshopped my hair color!? I feel really violated! It's my hair and I'm the one to decide which color it should be! My classmates and parents is really supportive, but its an different story with the school-board, they want me to change the color. But I won't, it would be like changing my personality.

Relationships

My grandmother (Mitzi Yde Seiding) is a special person because she is sweet and caring. She is always there when I need her, and she is positive and she exudes a passion for life. She is different in a good way and down on earth.

We have a good relationship, we help each other when we need it. We can talk and we always have a good time. We can also talk about serious issues.

When I was a kid, I always wanted to sleep over at my grandmothers. But after a got a little older, I don´t do it as much as I used to.

I spent a lot of time with her. We have had a lot of good experiences. I can´t pick a specific one out.

We have never had an argument. But we have had some hard times, where we supported each other. Eg. when my grandfather died, I where not that old when he died, so it can´t remenber much about him, and that is there were my grandmother comes in to the picture. She is very good at telling story about him, and i´m really happy for that.

Why do I love her?
If you don´t love that person who is described in the text, there is something wrong with you!
She is a one-of-a-kind.





Peace out!
