Teenage Girl Observation

As I am checking out a customer I hear a child scream. I turn around and see a teenage girl with blonde curly hair with one child on her hip and another one holding her hand demanding a donut. She crouches down and quickly talks him down, promising that each boy could get a piece of candy for after their nap. I watch her as she walks to the ordering screen, the older child instantly starts touching all the buttons, she does not get angry as I would have expected from someone her age. Instead she explains that the machine is not a toy and allows him to click the buttons to make her sandwich. A man near her comments on allowing the children to touch the screen, gracefully she puts the man in his place without being rude. The girl gets in the
checkout line with the two kids, she comes to my register. Now that she was closer I could see that she wore a shirt with a soccer tournament on the front, leggings, sneakers, and a hatters soccer headband. I could tell that she was exhausted but even then when the older child asked her questions she responded enthusiastically. She set the child on her hip down so she could get money out of her wallet, as she does this the child starts to cry. She quickly pays and allows the oldest to hold the receipt. As she walks away she picks the youngest up and bounces him around and makes him laugh until he is no longer crying. It seemed so effortless for her. Once the sandwich is ready she lifts the youngest high so he can reach the sandwich, he yells “I got it!”. This makes her laugh which in turns makes the kids laugh. As she goes outside to her car I hear her say “alright boys look left now right, then left again. Are there any cars coming?”. The boys respond with no so she takes the oldest boy’s hand and they walk to her car.

I am walking to english class when I hear some girls talking about my best friend Morgan.
I hear them say some pretty nasty things, I immediately stop and confront them. These girls do not even know Morgan, they do not know that the reason she looks so angry in the halls is that she is probably running on under six hours of sleep. She happens to be a really genuine and loyal person. No matter what someone has done to her or if they grew apart she is always a hundred percent there for them. Even though people will do her wrong she still drops anything she is doing for them. Her loyalty to people often leads to them taking advantage and hurting her in the end. Even when these people hurt her she fights extremely hard to keep them in her life. If she cuts someone off, they cannot imagine how hard it was for her. Most people do not know that she is so terrified of cats, and at the sight of them she bursts into tears. While she is scared of cats, she has an infinite amount of love for dogs, the bigger the better. One of her best qualities is the ability to be positive in the worst situations. She has been through some challenges, but she has gotten herself together each time. One of her greatest wishes is to have a stronger relationship with her mom, over the years their situation has improved but is not anywhere near where she would like it to be, which has caused her a lot of stress and heartache. Because of her lack of a relationship with family, she strives to create a better
environment for her future family. She has always been very excited to start her own family and do everything she feels like she missed out on. I agree she can be a little angry sometimes, and she is not quiet about it. Once you get to know her, you understand that she is not purposely trying to hurt anyone or would she ever act on her anger, she just needs to let it all out so she can deal with it and move on. I felt like I had opened up the girls to how Morgan is not just a quiet, angry girl but, instead she has many layers that most do not see.
