2. For my parents, Bridget and Randy, who listened and supported me. Without their support, I might be a completely different person but they would still be proud. For my sister who put up with me; for Mrs. Cartner who encouraged me to write this; and for God who gave me the ability.

8. Another childhood memory I have is the beach. My first trip was to Daytona Beach, Florida with my mom and dad when I was five months old. We went at least once every year and still continue to do so. Mom and me Me Dad and me
9. I loved being outside. In the summer, I was always in the water whether it was at home or at the beach. I also would go fishing on days when the weather was not so hot. Me Lindsey and me Me Lindsey and me
10. In the winter, I couldn’t wait for it to snow. I enjoyed going outside to build a snowman, or woman, sledding, and an occasional snowball fight. We did each and every activity as a family. Me Dad and me Lindsey and me

12. We got our Bichon Frise, Daisy, on January 8, 2010. My mom’s intentions were to pick her up while we were at school and surprise us when we got home. It snowed overnight and school ended up closing for the whole day, so the surprise was spoiled. Daisy loves her toys, my mom’s shoes, and to roll the toilet paper off the roll! We take her everywhere, including on vacation. When it is hot outside, her favorite thing to do is go for a swim in the pool!

14. We visited Magic Kingdom where we saw numerous parades and shows, and met some of the Disney characters. We even arranged for my sister to dine with Cinderella.
20. My Favorite Forms of Recreation One of my favorite things to do is go bowling. I was on a bowling team for several years, until it fell apart. One of our best team members moved away and another lost interest. I am no longer on a team but I still go bowling regularly. My mom, Lindsey, and I go bowling sometimes on Fridays after school.
