I didn’t think I was going to write this, because I didn’t
know what people would think or say, or I’m just writing this for
attention. But I don’t care what people
say anymore. My name is Marta Marie
Wendt, I was born on October 25, 1990 in Elgin, Illinois, at 12:44 am. There was my parents, my mother Lori was
still a college student, which she had to take a year off to take care of me
when I was born and my father Edward was out of college but working at
night. My name was picked when my
parents watched the Sound of Music and just recently we found out that my great
great grandma was name Marta, but she spelled it like Marte, that was the old
spelling over in Germany. My great great
grandma Marte was supposed to be on the Titanic to travel to the United States,
but she was sick before the voyage so she had to postpone the trip to the
United States. If my family was on that
voyage and was in that nasty wreck I wouldn’t be here nor my father or his twin
and or my grandmother, my cousins, basically the whole family. But they took a different voyage to Ellis
Island and ended up in the state of Illinois.
Years later my brother Edward was born January 24, 1994 in Rockford,
Illinois, we lived in Belvidere, Illinois at the time.
Me and my brother are very close, even though we have stupid
fights, but we’re best friends and we have been through a lot growing up. But we take good care of each other. Eddie and I were taught differently and
lived differently than all the people that I knew and know. We lived without TV and we only watched
movies, whether it was Disney or about Catholic saints, and bible stories. That is the reason why I am today. Gone to church every Sunday and holy days and
holidays. My favorite radio show as a
kid was Adventures in Odyssey. It was a
show to about good and evil and what god wants to do with your life, it was
something spiritual. Christian and
Catholic music and Disney songs, classical, is mainly what I listened too, but
I loved it and still love it. I don’t
care I missed out on the popular group Nsync or Britney Spears, basically everything
in the 90s, I ended up listening to them now, when it was my time to choose to
do with my life.
I attend catholic school from preschool to second
grade. The only best friend I had was a
girl name Jenny. We were like sisters,
we did almost everything together, birthday parties, at each others house,
everything. Then second grade came and I
was having a difficult time in my class.
My second grade teacher kept putting my name on the board because I was
not paying attention or answering the questions she wanted asked because I didn’t
understand. My brain didn’t work that
way. So my parents ended up taking me to
get tested at a public school. My
teacher and my principle told me and my parents that I had ADD and the councilor that got me tested told my teacher,
principle, and my parents that I had math disability, comprehension and
decoding processing. So yes I have a
learning disability and I have always been made fun of my difference in
learning. I was always called the retard
in class, whether you weren’t suppose say that word in school or not it was
still said. So from going to Catholic
school me and my family moved and went to public school because the catholic
school didn’t have the help that I needed.
So public school especially in the state of Illinois, it was hell. The learning disability teachers didn’t help
the students, they just put you down every day, every month, and the whole
year. I had a teacher when I was in 8th
grade and she gave me a detention because I got a B on one of math tests. The school in Illinois was horrible. I had a few friends here and there, mainly
boys were my friends. I got along with
boys more than girls, because I couldn’t deal with the drama and girls
sometimes are bitches.
When we moved to Wisconsin in 2006, my life changed. I went to a small school in Muscoda,
Wisconsin. Riverdale High School was a
small school, but it was a good school.
My favorite teacher my first year there was awesome, she was Special
Education teacher and she helped me with everything to the point where for the
rest of high school I was out of my education classes and into real full fledge
classes. English class in high school
was my favorite class, because of one teacher name Mrs. Julia Chitwood, she was
great she and another teacher in my life got me into writing.
I have so many dreams, but none of them never came true yet. The one dream I had was and is to be a
writer. I love to write, whether I write
about nature and fantasy or about myself.
When I was a little girl, there was a little farm that we passed by to
town and there was spotted horse in one of the paddocks and in my head I named
the horse Spot and since I was about 6 I always wanted a horse and take riding
lessons, just to ride free. I finally
got my horse. His name was Twister and
he was my best friend, he gave me a lot of confidence, he was the reason why I
wanted to be a Dressage Rider. Dressage
is so elegant and I wanted to be a part of that world, but I never got
there. Twister died and I was devastated
and I lost my confidence and lost myself.
My first college I went a horse school and that didn’t pan
out, I wanted to be a part of the horse world.
There was a time I wanted to own Thoroughbreds and race them out on the
track, to be the next Triple Crown Winner.
Now I want to do something more amusing and exciting. I want to be the Next Indiana Jones. I want to be an Archaeologist/Anthologist. I want to explore the world and experience
new things. I’m tired of everyday life
and the country that I know. I want to
go to Egypt and see the Pyramids and the Sphinx and the mummies. I have always thought of doing Biblical
Archaeology. I’m also curious about
World religions and legends, vampires, all of that. I want to open store with this kind of stuff.
Now my life is changing.
I’m starting my senior year at Beacon College, and finding a job for me
to do after school. But the first thing
to do after college is to get married to my best friend. My first year at Beacon College I met this
guy in my General Anthropology class. I
was hoping that he was single, because he was very sweet and kind, but he ended
up with this person that is hard to explain, but every time in class he always
flirted with me and he gave me a pet name the Ugly Duckling and I knew he was
the one. He saw me, when no else
have. I was invisible and he sought me
out. We became very good friends and we
never dated until my sophomore and junior year.
During the summer of Sophomore year we took a break to see if we were supposed
to be together, but we are. We’re back
together and yes there is a lot of ups and downs, but what my fiancé went
through is life changing and I understand what kind of stress he was going
through and he was told that the way he’s thinking will make him think that he’s
not a real man and that he will take everything out on everyone. I love him and he’s mine forever.
I’m so happy for being with someone that I love, my family,
and my friends that I have now and what I will have in the future. I actually can’t wait for the future and what
is going to happen.
I’m a dreamer, a thinker.
I think all the time. I think of what people will think of me? Or will they like me or will they judge me
for who I am. I don’t like being Center
of Attention, I don’t like the attention, I never have and never will. I have a nasty temper, but what helps that is
painting. I really love to paint. My college Professor told me that I need to
be a painter, basically an artist. I
never use to like art, but this teacher got me into art. Painting and Mix Media art is my favorite and
so is Stain glass. My talent for stain
glass comes from my mother, because she makes stain glass windows and lamps, I
love it.
I have more to say, but I’m going to stop for now.
