Hello everyone! There isn't much to say about me, but I'll try to make this as interesting as possible. First off, I'll be a senior this year, which I find exciting mostly because it's one step closer to college (in case you were wondering, I'm not sure what my major will be, but I'm thinking of someday becoming a physical therapist). I was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and moved to McFarland when I was 9 years old. I have two sisters: Sophia, who is 15, and Mia, who is 9. My family adopted Mia from Wuhan, China about 3 years ago. Alright, so that was the basics; now I'll get into the rest.
I guess one of my favorite things in life is art. All forms of it. I love photography, music, dance, paintings, drawings, movies, sculptures, books, and a bunch of other art forms that aren't coming to mind right now. I've attempted painting/drawing, but that hasn't worked out as well as I'd like it to. My attempt at dance about 12 years ago (ballet class) didn't work out either, so now I mostly bounce up and down and wave my arms around. I'm decent at photography and writing, and so far I've just stuck with those. I've learned stand back and appreciate the rest. I also love travel. I love learning about other cultures, but actually being there and experiencing those cultures is entirely different. I love the idea of being in a place where I know absolutely no one else, and not knowing how to speak their language (well) means that I don't have to talk to anyone unless it's absolutely necessary (not that I hate talking to all of you, but I'm sure it wasn't hard to guess right from the beginning that I prefer to observe away from the spotlight).
I also consider family a big part of my life. The two halves of my family, my mom's side and my dad's side, are almost complete opposites. I mostly take after my mom's side, physically and mentally. The people on her side of the family are all interested in art and travel (though I'm pretty sure my lack of dancing talent came from them), and we all share the same weird sense of humor. The people on my dad's side are much less... loose, I guess. I'm not even sure what their sense of humor is. But both sides have definitely affected my life and my personality in different ways, so I thought they were worth mentioning on here.
Anyway, this hopefully gave you at least an idea of what I'm like. I look forward to enjoying the rest of summer vacation and getting to know all of you better in AP Comp.
Hi Celia! Welcome to AP Composition; I'm glad you're going to be part of the class. Hope you're having an enjoyable summer of art, writing, traveling, and occasionally bouncing up and down while waving your arms around. Good work getting your blog up and running-- I look forward to reading more of your stuff!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog! It was nice to know that you cherish all forms of art even if you aren't that good at them, and it's a great idea on taking AP Comp if writing is one of your strongest attributes. I also find it very cool how you want to be a physical therapist. That is what some of my friends really want to be when they are looking for majors in college.
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that your family was able to adopt your sister. It really adds meaning to family. You're very lucky! Also, art is a great way to express yourself, and you're very good at it! Keep up the good work! I hope you enjoyed your summer and I can't wait to see you in AP Comp! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're blog is very fun and positive and I like how you wrote a blog about who are you and gave us some info. on your life. I love how you have tried many types of art of ballet, painting and etc. Good Job! (:
