I was a teenager. I wanted change.

I decided I was introverted, but would become extroverted over the summer.

My
persona changed.
I had started fighting with my parents. My dad would ask, "Whose name in on the door?" Our family used his name, and it was on the door; that meant we had to follow his orders.

I changed my name to Carmin.

I didn't know any other Carmins, so I didn't use his last name. I was separating from my parents, becoming an individual. Becoming extroverted.

The plan worked.
