Although I am a sixteen year old girl, I have never blogged before. I prefer to read, play soccer, volleyball, basketball, or hang out with my friends, rather than be on the computer. To be honest, I find it difficult to write about myself. 

      I've lived in Colorado my whole life, and don't plan to live anywhere else. My family consists of a mom, dad, older brother, and a younger sister. Like any other family relationship, I want to strangle them half of the time. But my family is my rock and my number one support system; I know I can always count on them for my every need. I live a comfortable life, where even though I have everything at my fingertips, my parents make me work for it, to instill a firm work ethic and morals. Even though I wont admit it, because I am a "hard- headed teenager", I believe that my parents have done an amazing job raising me. Looking back, I realize that I agree with everyone( well, almost)of their decisions as parents. I hope to be at least half as virtuous as they are when I am an adult. I have a strong relationship with Christ, which I want to continue to grow in. 

      My school is amazing; the teachers classes, friends, sports, and environment. I know that when I graduate from my school, Skyview Academy, I will walk out the doors  as a life long learner, and an educated woman with strong, reliable friendships to fall back on if need be. I'm not quite sure what I want my profession to be, but I am looking into the medical field.I know that Skyview will prepare me for this occupation to the best of their ability, doing their best to put me on the path to success. It is difficult work; however, it will be a rewarding profession. If I am not going into the medical field, I really don't know what I will do for a living. As a little kid, my dream was to become a professional soccer player, and a part of me wishes that I could still be that. 

      I enjoy the little things in life, like a warm shower, clothes out of the dryer, a good book to read sitting in the sun, a smile from a stranger, a good meal, almost anything! The list could go on for a while if I listed everything that I enjoy and am thankful for. I believe that it is the little things, the little gifts in life, that keep us going throughout our day. I lead a blessed life, which most of the time I forget to be thankful for.
