[/size][/center][/blockquote][/blockquote]So. You want to know about me, huh? Not sure why, but whatever. So the name’s Markus Roger Lightwood. It’s a mouthful, I know. I was named after each of my parents, Markus and Roger Lightwood. Yeah, that’s right, my parents were gay, bite me. I’m not by the way, I’m 100% straight with no leeway. But hey, I grew up in that household, so I support gay rights like there’ snot tomorrow, used to get me teased. And people beat the shit out of me. Part of it was probably because I was a couple years younger then everyone in my year growing up, I was your average nerd. I graduated when I was almost sixteen. I didn’t hit college right after that, instead I hung around New Jersey like the rest of my family, because I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I got mixed up in some bad things during my feew years off. Heroin and alcohol mostly, and it was pretty bad. My parents said that if I didn’t get myself clean they’d kick me out and spend my college funds on a new car.
By that time I’d been with the wrong crew for about two years. It took another two to get totally clean. It was hard and I struggled but I did eventually get there. It took till I was about twenty-two to get myself clean. I got in so early it was so rigged into my system. But enough about that bullshit, let’s move on to schooling. I did get into college rather fast and took the right lane to becoming a film star. I wanted to direct. However, I changed my mind after one year in film school and switched to film teacher… And biology… Four years later and I was looking for teaching gigs. I didn’t find much home, I was too young looking and the place I lived all knew what I’d gotten into. I did some student teacher work, but nothing serious. So I left. I didn’t want my parents to try and stop me so I up and left one night, moved as far away as I could get. So I’m here, fresh slab, new start. I’m a brand new teacher and I’m raring to go. I scored lucky with this spot, the teacher just happened to give notice the day I was in.
Personality wise? I don’t know… How do you explain yourself? I’m pretty mature, level headed for my age. I’m older them my years, or at least I feel that way. I’m passionate and stubborn, but also care about myself above others. When I stand for something, I don’t step down. I’m still a nerd, deep down and kind of have a thing against bullying. I know that sounds lame, but I hate it, so I do plan to help change the way kids treat each other in this school. I’m not trying to change the world, but a little help here and there. Some call me a flirt, but I don’t even realise I’m doing it half the time… It just happens. I’m not a romantic guy, in fact growing up two years younger then the girls in my school I didn’t actually get a girlfriend till I was in college. And even then I wasn’t really into them.
