10 Images of My Life

                                                       10 images of My Life

When I was little one of my many nicknames was cupcake. There was exactly a special meaning behind it just my mom telling me I was as sweet as a cupcake. She called me that so much that I actually thought it was my name. Once when we had painters working in our house, when asked what my name was, I replied, "My name is Cupcake."

When I was three years old we moved from Maryland to Colorado. The night before the big move I was playing in the basement with my brother and his friend when I spied a box of Capi Suns on top of some wooden moving pallets. I asked my parents if I could have one, but they and the other adults were too busy. I decided I would get one for myself (by climbing on top of the pallets.) As I reached the top, the pallets began to shift and fall. I jumped off and ran as quickly as I could, but I was not fast enough. The pallets landed on my foot, penning it to the ground We later found out it was broken.)

Ever since I was four, I had loved to play soccer. It was a great way to get some exercise and have fun with my friends. I played soccer until about seventh grade when I realized it had become more about winning than having fun. No matter what, soccer was definitely an important part of my life.

 I major a major sweet tooth. I love sugar in my coffee, ice cream, and just about any thing sweet and sugary. One of my favorite desserts is a kind of cake called tiramisu. It combines two of my favorite things--lady finger cookies and coffee.

Ever since I was little, I've always loved to read. I started out with picture books, and by third grade I was reading chapter books. Whenever I have free time, I love to settle down with and read. I always have my nose in a book.

In my free time if I'm not reading, I'm definitely writing. It has become once of my favorite hobbies. I'm always coming up with new story ideas.

Since second grade I have always done track. My dad was a coach and a former track runner so it definitely runs in the family (oops sorry no pun intended.) It's always been a great way to get exercise and hang out with friends. Other than soccer it has been the most important sport in my life.

I love animals. For the longest time, I actually thought I'd end up becoming a vet. I have a big yellow lab named Scout, and he's absolutely adorable. I couldn't life without him--or any of my other favorite animals.

Another hobby of mine is doing crafts. I love working with my hands. When i was little I liked to make clothes for my stuffed animals. Most recently I've taken up needlepoint.

This last image represents my compassion. I love helping people. When someone is in trouble, I can't just stand by and do nothing. I've come to believe that it's God propose for me in life to help others.
