Best Childhood Memory

When I was little I would always look forward to the week before Christmas because that was when the Caillou Christmas Marathon was on and he would have his countdown to Christmas, I loved it so much my parents bought it on DVD and now we still have it for my little brothers to enjoy. To this day I can still remember the song Caillou would sing with his mommy and daddy before he would go to sleep and flip over a new number tab. The awesome thing about those number tabs was that in each one there was a picture of how Christmas was celebrated in different countries. Being the oldest and having amazing childhood memories is really great because you can share them with your younger siblings and just spread the enjoyment like jelly! :)

Ten Years From Now

Ten years from now I will be twenty three years old and I will be a completely independent adult. I will hopefully be graduating from college at Stanford and will be applying to medical schools. I hope to one day become and orthopedist, I know I have a long road ahead of me with several more years of schooling, but I am willing to put in the hard work. Ever since I was five years old and my dad read me Dem Bones, I have had a real interest in what makes up the human body. Although I am only thirteen I have a very clear idea of what I want to do with my life, my parents have always told me that if you want something you work for it, and that is what I plan to do. 

Hilton Head, South Carolina

It was a windy summer day in late July and it was day two of my family vacation to South Carolina, my family was planning on spending the day at the beach and then the unthinkable happened, it started to rain, hard. Everybody on the beach started to run the wind was speeding up and sand started to blow around wildly. My brothers were in awe at how the waves crashed on the shore, my mom tried to pull the stroller we brought through the sand, my dad and sister were trying to go swimming like a couple of loons in the monstrous waves, and my cousin Ashanti, she was focused on making sure her hair didn't get wet. When we made it back to our car we were soaking and covered from the knees below in wet sand. You might think that this would have put a damper on our vacation, but it was one of the best parts, it was both  humorous and exhilarating and one of my best memories with my family I wouldn't want to change a second of it.
