1. All about Me
Ashton Richey
My name is Ashton Elizabeth Richey. I was born into society as a
patient at Baptist South Hospital in Montgomery, Alabama. When my mom
was pregnant they predicted that I would weight about 5-6 lbs., and I only
weighed 3 lbs. 10ounces. A description of when I was born is that I had
brown hair with pretty blue eyes, and tan skin. I was very little compared to
my other two sisters. My twin sister took all of the food when I was born. I
am currently a resident of the same town I was born in, Montgomery,
Alabama.
I have many ancestors in my family on both sides. My mom’s name
is Tancie, and my dad’s name is Ed. All of my family strongly believes in
loyalty and tradition. I have a twin sister, a younger sister, and a half
brother. I have four pets, 3 dogs and 1 cat. I feel lucky to have all four of
my grandparents still alive. I have three cousins.
I am a learner and a student at Carr Middle School. I have attended
both Blount and Wilson Elementary school. My favorite teacher is Ms.
Levine. My favorite subject is Science. In the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade I
received the recognition of A/B honor roll. I have a goal to be a teacher and

2. predict I will teach fifth graders. I hope to have students that grow into
scientist, novelist, celebrities, and politicians.
This summer we took a vacation to the Florida Keys, and Disney
World. We met my second cousins down there. My favorite part was the
roller coasters at Universal. We would ride the roller coasters over and over.
The lines were not long, so we could get back on the ride pretty quickly. I
enjoy being outside, playing with my friends, and being with my family.
My favorite holiday is Christmas because it is symbolic of Jesus’ birth.
I was a twin that was born in Montgomery, Alabama. I really enjoy
my family and time at Christmas because I get a lot of quality time with
everybody. I like going to school and learning new things. I look forward
to school and seeing my teachers each day. I am also looking forward to
next summer to see what vacations are planned. This Christmas there will
be many more traditions carried on from the previous years. My family
means a lot to me.
