This Is Me, This Is Who I Am!

    Who am I? I am Jenna Dee Trumble.  The daughter of Kim and Gregg Trumble, and the sister to Zachary Trumble.  I am a senior at Aurora High School. I am short and blonde.  This can answer the basic part of this question.  The complex side of this question is a little tougher to handle.  Some people spend their whole lives trying to answer it.  I have taken a look at my life and came up with a temporary answer.
    I am not very in involved in the school compared to some people.  Then again, compared to some others, I am very involved.  I play the trumpet in the band, jazz band, and brass quintet. FFA is the other activity I am involved in.  Trumpet playing runs in the family.  My mom played from the time she started in 5th grade to the time she graduated high school.  My dad also played trumpet, but he dropped out of band (like a loser) after elementary school.  Even my uncle was a part of the epicness.  He played through middle school.  FFA is also in my blood.  My dad and both of his brothers were active members all through high school. It's pretty neat that Aurora still has the same instructor for it to.
    Outside of school I am very active.  I live on a farm so I have to help my dad with day to day things.  Mostly it involves hauling pipe in the summer.  By living on the farm and being around my dad and grandpa I have learned what real hard work is.  Also, to go along with the hard work is a great work ethic.  What has taught me this even more than helping on the farm and watching my family is my passion for horses.  When I was little I loved horses.  My parents eventually let me take lessons and now 12 years down the road we own 5 show horses and compete nationally in Appaloosa Horse Club recognized shows.
    I didn't get to this level of showing on my own.  I have had several people who have helped me along the way.  With out them I couldn't have done it.  Thank you doesn't say enough.  Not only have my trainers turned me into a better rider and horsewoman, they have turned me into a better person.  They have made me be responsible and independent.  At lessons I had to get my own horse ready and make some decisions on my own without my parents help.  I also had to make sure I had everything I would need for that days lesson.  Now, I give a lot of credit to my trainers, but they couldn't have done it without the help of my horses.
    To say my horses are my life is about as close to the truth as you can get.  They aren't pets though.  Since they are big animals they have to learn respect, but they have become a part of the family.  A sad fact is this summer both my great grandma and my first horse past away, and I cried more for my horse than my grandma.  This makes me feel bad, but when I sat down and really thought about it, I was a lot closer to that horse than my grandma.  From that little story I have shown you how much I care for these animals.  They can bring me the greatest happiness, the strongest rage, and the deepest sorrow.  With all of this roller coaster of emotions, I still wouldn't trade them for the world.  The life lessons I have learned are priceless.  I have learned confidence from having to preform in front of people.  But, you aren't alone, you have your best friend out there with you.  I have learned time management.  Although I may still struggle with this, when it comes down to it I get my stuff done on time.  I have also learned a great deal of respect.  This respect is for other people's space. When in the show arena you have to give the other horses and riders space for safety.  It is also respect for people/animals in general.  When training a horse they have to respect your space, so you don't get hurt.  The key is that you respect the animal in return.  In life if you respect someone else, they will have a greater chance of respecting you.
    This is no where near all of who I am. At this point in my life, it is all I can know.  We don't know what the future holds and who we will be then.  All we can control and think on is who we are now.  So, who am I?  I am Jenna Trumble. A person who uses life experiences to learn from. Someone who always trys to find the bright side. A kind and caring friend, and a hard worker.  This may all be temporary, but it is what is true at this moment.  Now for the even tougher question, who are you?
