Summertime Jet Skiing

I’m ready to ride a jet ski with Jackson, one of my really good friends (not my boyfriend). Jackson is 17 and in 11th grade. Riding along the waters of Virginia Beach was one of my favorite things I did this summer. At the end of July, my family went to Virginia Beach with another family who are our closest friends. It was really special to see them because they recently moved to Raleigh and we don’t get to see them as much anymore. One of the days that we were there we went on jet skis at another families’ house which was on the bay. My mom took this picture right before we headed out onto the water. I did not drive the jet ski. I had a lot of fun and really enjoyed it.

Jumping on my bed almost broke my head

11/6/2022

The most interesting thing I have ever done was in first grade; I was jumping on my bed, and I accidentally jumped off and shattered my elbow. I had to have surgery and spend the night in the hospital. I was in a cast that was all the way up to my shoulder and I was out of school for a few weeks. Eventually, when I got my cast off, I had to have the pins removed that the doctors had put in my elbow to help heal my elbow. It was very painful and now I have a hole in my elbow.  

  I was born in Charlotte, North Carolina and I moved to Roanoke when I was 2 years old. I came to North Cross when I was in third grade. One statistic that reveals something about myself is that I have one brother. His name is Gray and he is 11 years old. He plays basketball and golf. 

A quote that my mom always tells me is: “Anything is possible if you really put your mind to it.” 
   I came to North Cross because I had a terrible second grade year at public school. I went to Crystal Spring Elementary school from Kindergarten until second grade. My second grade teacher was very mean, and if I did one thing wrong she would make you walk laps around the whole playground for the entire recess. When my parents told me that I was coming to North Cross I was really sad because I did not want to leave my friends, but I ended up liking it a lot better. “A quote that my mom told me before I started North Cross was: “You don’t know until you try it.” She said this because I was very unsure about starting school at North Cross, and I didn’t think that I would like it. 

  After high school I want to go and play tennis in college and hopefully Division I. I am really going to continue to work hard so that I can achieve that goal. 

A quote that I live by is: “Opportunities don’t happen, you create them.”
