You can create a static front page. By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors, who come to read your latest post, and who are not likely to be happy with being compelled to click through the same static page with the same blah, blah, blah on it every time they visit the blog looking for the latest post.
However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, and know that static front pages are traffic killers, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts. To do that create two pages first http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.

I think I understand you. But I think I explain myself wrong. I have three pages.
1. Personal Stories
2. Reviews of places people have visited
3. TestimonialsOn each page I would like to explain what the page is for, and have it stay at the top at all times. Would the sticky post be the best option?

Go to Dashboard > Posts > Categories select each of those categories one at a a time, enter your description on them and save.

A static page is NOT a dynamic category page. You have to delete these static pages and create categories in your dashboard and assign them to posts and publish the posts. A dynamic category page has nothing it can display until you actually publish a post with the category assigned to it.
Go to your dashboard and create these categories
Personal Stories
Reviews
Testimonials
See here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/
One at a a time, enter your catagory description on them and save.
http://accessibledestination.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=categoryThen create a custom menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/
Next add the dynamic Categories pages to it http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-category-pagesAfter you do that, when you publish a post with a category assigned to it that posts will automatically appear on the dynamic category page.

I added a Description to my category. but it did not show up on the page. Just a little showed up in the URL tab at the top of my browser. I wanted a little description at the top of the page, explaining what the page is for.

Only some theme display the category description we enter. I’m not clear which ones do and which ones don’t. I’m using Expound and it does display them.

Thank you. I have set up some sidebar widgets. Will I lose them if I change them again? lol I know it sounds like a stupid question.
-
No.
You can quickly and easily change themes to another one found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and no data will be lost or negatively affected by the change. The only time you may have to do some work is if you are changing to a dramatically different theme and have done any CSS editing.
Provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the blog go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes and browse themes until you find one you like and click “activate” or type in the name of the theme you want to use and
click the “activate” link when it appears.After you change your theme all you need to do is go here Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > Inactive Widgets and re-install them where you want them to appear. The widget contents and settings will be the same as they were prior to changing themes.

To go back to your original question, you could just create a short Post and make it Sticky (it’s a tickbox on the right hand side of the Write Post page). That keeps it at the top. Some themes even have what’s called an Alert that does this and sits at the top till you want it gone. That way your blog posts can still be on the front page.

I found out I can’t use categories now. i went with pages. is there still away I can put a introductory paragraph at the top of the page and it says there?
-
Pages are static. They don’t move. whatever you type in at the top of a page will stay there.
