I thought this was interesting. I've always been proud of this. It was my resume that I wrote the first week of 8th grade. I don't know why, but I like how it summarizes me. The only major thing that it doesn't mention is instrumental music. I'm not sure why I didn't include it. Probably because I'm a horrible summarizer and tend to write much more than is needed. Or maybe I just didn't know I valued it so much until the end of 8th grade...

Three words that describe me are determined, polite, and busy. I am determined to get good grades and succeed in all of my athletic activities. I try to be polite to my teachers, friends, and relatives, and take pride in my ability to behave in all situations. *note: not that i necessarily DO behave all the time* I am busy participating in one of more activities outside of school per day. My free time is very limited. Sometimes it is a lot of work to be determined, polite, and busy.

I enjoy singing, talking, going online, and shopping. I also contribute my talents to organizations, such as the California Youth Soccer Organization, First United Methodist Church, Penninsula Youth Theatre, and Los Altos Youth Theatre. I play oboe and clarinet, *hey, i did mention that!* and horseback ride at Stanford Equestrian Center. Competing in these activities has given me a chance to win awards. I have won 9 first place ribbons in horse shows, and 8 'A' Honor Roll awards at school. My soccer team just placed third in a tournament and second in our league last Fall season.

I have lived in California all my life. My only moves have been local. I have been to New YOrk, Vermont, and many other states withint the U.S. I have also been to Maui on vacation numerous times. My farthest travel was to Barbados. I would like to travel to France, the Bahamas, Australia, and Italy one day.

I admire Kelly Clarkson, (winner of American Idol 2002) Karen O' Connor, (member of the USA Equestrian team) and Gene Wilder (actor). I admire them for their great success in the profession they have choses. I feel that my personal strengths include the study of English and music, and my weaknesses are in the areas of mathematics and athletics.

I want people to know that I am hard working and determined to be the best I can be at everything I do. I wold like to be a member of the Main Street Singers, an internationally touring group of singers at Los Altos High school. I aspire to go to Stanford, Princeton, or Harvard, and become a junior high or high school councilor, while also contributing my talents as a youth grou p leader to the future youth of my church.


well, there you have it. my interpretation of me as an 8th grader. pretty accurate still, i must say. i just thought it was interesting.

well unlike you, ali, i rode in the other car and didn't get to listen to her album. but i agree that she has a powerful voice, and i also agree that her performance at the 2003 american idol finale was HORRENDOUS. maybe she couldn't hear herself?!?! but mr. shaull always says to 'feel' yourself sing, and not 'listen' to yourself. she just wasn't taught by a stiff, classical, brilliant but a bit radical, man. yes, well anyway, thanks for debating kelly clarkson on my journal. very interesting, guys. ;0)
