There are so many things I could tell you about myself, but that doesn’t mean anyone would want to hear it. Hopefully the few things I say are a little bit interesting to you.

I have grown up with 3 sisters and 1 brother. I love that my family is big! I have a personality that is a mix of my mom and my dad. I enjoy shopping with my sisters and mother, but I also enjoy fishing and camping with my brother and father. I have always had to share a room with one of my sisters. We would stay up at all hours of the night talking. If I am fighting with one sister (which never lasts long) I usually complain to another. Sometimes my family really irritates me, but I would never change it.

For the longest time I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. Having to choose what you want to do for the rest of your life is nerve-wracking. When I was really little I wanted to be a baker. My mom loved peach cobbler and I told her I would always make it for her. Then I wanted to be a teacher just like my mom. I never wanted to be a computer programmer like my day. No offense to him, but I never really like computers and he complains a lot about his co-workers. Next, I wanted to be a chemical engineer. I would create my own make-up line with perfumes and lipsticks, but that was a no go either. Then I met Mrs. Beal. She was my favorite teacher of alll time! She taught chemistry my sophomore year of high school. After being in her class I knew I wanted to do something in chemistry. I decided that I wanted to teach chemistry to high school students just like Mrs. Beal.

I love giraffes. It is kind of an obsession. I used to name them all, but I got to many and forgot all of the names. My favorite giraffe is a modern wooden looking one. I got it from my aunt for graduation. My first giraffe was a beanie baby one that I got from my mom for my birthday. My biggest giraffe is over 5 feet tall. I don’t remember when or why I started to like giraffes, but I did. Ever since then they have been my favorite, and I think that is one thing about me that will never change. I will always love giraffes.
