monologue

My name is Nia Bolling and I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. I have grown to love the borough. I do not regret living in Brooklyn because it helped mold me into the person that I am today and it taught me many life lessons that I could never be erased. I ultimately decided to stay in New York City for college because I realized that I am a city girl and would go absolutely crazy if I left the city to go to the

suburbs for school. Many people complain that New York is too noisy, dirty, and not a good city to live in, but I totally disagree. I love that the city of New York is full of life and there is always something to do. Like they all say, “The city never sleeps.” The fast-paced life of NYC fits well with my spontaneous character I guess. Anyways, enough about NYC and more about me!

I am an intelligent, beautiful, and strong minded young lady who is not afraid of a challenge and trying new things. I may seem quiet at first but as you get to know me, I am the total opposite. The hobbies that I absolutely love are singing, shopping, and movie-watching. I’ve been singing my whole life and have grown to love all genres of music such as pop, rap, rhythm and blues, indie-rock, classical, and many more. Shopping, I’m sure is every females favorite hobby. I particularly like to shop because I love putting my styling abilities to the test and styling myself and others helps me practice this craft. Watching movies are always refreshing to me because they allow me to indulge in fantasy and imagination. It is also a temporary way to escape life in general.

Some things that are an integral part of my life are family, friends, music, and pepperoni pizza. Family is something that I cherish and love dearly. “Blood is thicker than water”, means that no matter what happens your family will always be your family, no matter how many disagreements you have. Friendships may be broken, but families cannot. Friendships are also something that I cherish very much. The older you get, the less time you spend with mom and dad and the more time you spend with friends. That is why it is important to develop healthy friendships with others, especially during your teen years. I have made a lot of friends during high school and so far in college and have had many great memories with them. Some memories included being kicked out of buffalo wild wings for paying a $22 bill to an impolite waiter in all coins, singing at Carnegie Hall with my choir friends, screaming Broadway songs and dances at the top of my lungs in public, dressing up as Velma for cartoon day my senior year, taking numerous pictures in Central Park, my epic senior trip and prom night and many many many more. I hope these great memories continue with my college friends a.k.a. Block 48 !!!! whooaaaa =)

I can speak on music for days but I’m too lazy to get into such detail. Some genres of music that I like are rap, r&b, rock, indie, pop, gospel, jazz, classical; basically everything except for heavy metal (gives me headaches). I listen to music almost 24 hours a day, whether through my headphones or simply in my head. Im going to end there because I don’t want to get to deep with the topic.

Last but not least….PEPPERONI PIZZA a.k.a. the best snack known to man! For the record, animal crackers come in second place.

So yes, I could clearly write more about myself but I figured this is a decent amount for now. =)

Hope you enjoyed. 3-2-1 blast off !
