Jumping on my bed almost broke my head

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.”
