When I first met PERSONS NAME , she was the ADJECTIVE and ADJECTIVE school NOUN at Lyons Township High School, and I was a ADJECTIVE ADJECTIVE grader. I was desperately trying VERB PHRASE , because I had some big PLURAL NOUN , like ADJECTIVE NOUN ... and I was trying to hide the fact that I liked to VERB —something that was cool for PLURAL NOUN but not for PLURAL NOUN ... PERSONS NAME took me under her wing and helped make it okay for me to be a ADJECTIVE, ADJECTIVE NOUN who was VERB lots of PLURAL NOUN .
