The two places I loved being were outside or in the dance studio. When I was outside I loved biking, climbing every tree in sight, and playing any sport. I was a tom boy when as a I grew up I gradually grew out of that stage in my life. The other place I loved being was the dance studio. I got the privilege of taking dance when at six years old and still dance to this day.
The most memorable moments I have with me family are the camping trips we went on together. Whenever we went somewhere such as: the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone National Park, or the Black Hills, we would go camping instead of being cramped up in a hotel room. When we were there I always asked my parents can we go hiking, can I go to the climbing class, or something else that was outdoors. My dad was the one to support me in what I wanted to do while I was there. He would go with me to hike and go to climb. Even though we did not have the money to stay in a hotel room I am very glad we stayed in the wilderness.
2) What were your favorite toys?
My favorite toys were my bike, soccer ball, dance shoes, and injury kit.
3) What were your favorite games?
My favorite sports to play with the neighborhood were soccer, football, and baseball.
My favorite board games to play with the family were labrynth, dominoes, and many card games.
4) What came easy to you?
Dance came vey natural for me. I was very elite in my age group, so my teacher challenged me in moving me up to the next grade level. Another thing that came from my dance was my rock climbing skills. I never tried to actually rock climb with gear and such until the summer before my junior year of high school and I loved every minute of it! People kept telling me I was a natural. They said I had amazing leg strength and I said that is because I am a dancer.
The one subject that came very easily for me was math. I loved doing math and then I believe I got burnt out in that subject time I hit high school. Otherwise I probably would have majored in Math in college. I loved it and now when I do it I don't get joy out of it like I used to when I was younger, which is very sad.
5) What I wanted to be when I grow up?
I dreamed of becoming a dance teacher, park ranger, doctor, and a mathematician. Wanted to be just like my dance teacher I had growing up. She had a heart that was big enough for everyone to fit in.
6) Are you doing or fulfilling any of your dreams now?
Yes! I am actually a dance teacher in the present at the studio I took at and at the college I go to I started a liturgical dance group. I have loved every minute of teaching dance.
The other dream I am kind of fulfilling is Park Ranger. I would love to work full time in Outdoor Ministries which is similar because both of the jobs are outdoors. I have a passion for the outdoors and teaching others the adventures one can go on outside! My passion has increased into helping youth-in-need in the outdoors.
