Assignment #1

Who I am
     I have a typical family, with one older sister, a mom and a dad. We live in Oliver B.C., where I was born, and where I am growing up. I was born on July 5, 1997, and I'm fourteen years old. My dad is Scottish and South African and my mom is Canadian. I have a pretty normal life, but a few things do stand out.

Last year in October 2010, we bought a boat in Florida and sailed it throughout the Bahamas. We saw so many beautiful islands, beaches, and met lots of great people, making it a wonderful year. During last year, I did my schooling  on the boat, which went successfully. I also learnt how to navigate a 40ft yacht, catch fish, scuba dive, break open coconuts (gathered right from the tree), and be independent for our energy and water. We have also travelled quite a bit in the past, to places like South Africa, Australia, and the Caribbean. All of our trips have been amazing and very inspiring. 
     Even though I like travelling, I also like playing basketball, piano, drawing, making jewelry, sailing, swimming, and other activities. 
     If I were to describe myself, I would probably say that I am kind, caring, resourceful, conscientious about the environment, artistic, and motivated. 
     My favourite classes are math, science, art, wood shop and P.E. When I graduate I want to go into architectural design or interior decorating.
     Well, that's pretty much all I have to say about myself, that I find interesting.
Bye for now, Olivia
