Hey Everyone! Hope you are having a great summer so far! The weather is nice, sleeping in, hanging out with friends, and working, are all the exciting aspects of it. As far as already looking into next year, it's  kind of scary. For me and some of you, it will be our senior year! We all have tons of memories, and will make more as we continue this journey right into college. Below are 5 things that sum up who I am!

Christian- First and foremost I am a strong believer. I take my faith very seriously and thank God for everything that has happened to me. My family and I have moved two times, once when I was in 8th grade, from Pennsylvania to Virginia, and recently, from Virginia to Wisconsin. It was hard moving in the middle of the year both times, but each move was part of God's plan for my family and I.

Family- My family is very unusual, funny, caring, outgoing, loving and crazy. I love everything about them! I have a brother (15) and sister (13). I'm not going to lie, but my brother and sister and I sometimes get along. We fight like normal siblings, but in the end we all know we love each other and always make up. My dad and mom are also the best. They always have my back and support me no matter what, even though they also sometimes get on my nerves!

Friends- I love to make friends. Moving a lot has taught me to be very outgoing and become friends with a lot of people. I still have very good friends from PA and VA that I still talk to almost every day.  have also made a lot of good ones here too! I look forward to hanging out with a lot of them this summer, while getting to know them better too.

Photographer- Ever since I was little I have always loved taking pictures. I remember my first photography class in 8th grade, and I fell in love with it all. Since then, I have gradually improved my skills, learning about each part of the camera and the use of film cameras. I have become very good friends with some amazing photographers in my class this past year. They have taught me so much! I have my own website and hope one day, to create this as a side business. With my photography, I hope to capture the precious life God has given us, along with some of the beauty of his world. Through the opportunities I have had, I have learned to see the small things in life, that mean the most.

Sports- Sports are my life. I have literally played every sport that a girl can play. However, my favorite is running. I have been running since I would walk, then racing the neighborhood boys around the block. I have been on a team for 5 years and have had 3 amazing coaches. They all have impacted my life in a way they will never know. Running is a lot of fun for me, and it is one of my "outlets" to express myself. When I moved here I was scared to join the team, not knowing what to expect. All the girls immediately accepted me and introduced me to a lot of kids at school. I even ran with them before my first day at school! They are all truly amazing runners, and I am blessed to be able to run with them. My dream is to run at a division 2 Christian college.

Well, that about sums me right up! Hope all of you enjoy your summer break!
