1) Some surprising things about me!
- I used to dance for 12 years. I did tap, Jazz and hip hop. I danced all year long and all day. I would go to class everyday after school and would practice every spare minute I had. It was my whole life when I was younger but I loved every minute of it.
- I just found out last night I have a 35 year old half brother, that I never knew about ( I am 20 years old). I also have a 2 year old nephew that I never knew about. He contacted my sister and I through facebook.
- I love camping and spend a lot of my spare time at my families camp on sacondoga lake. We also have a boat which i enjoy. Because of my love for camping I also work at a summer camp for 2 weeks at the end of the summer. It is a camp for children with autism.
2) Some of my obsesssions and passions…
- The RED SOX- I love watching games on tv, going to games, watching them on teh computer, reading about the sox. Anything that has to do with the sox I love. My room is covered in red sox posters, plaks, etc. I also have a red sox tattoo that i got this year. Not many people would guess this by meeting me.
- I do not really obses over anything else… some people say I am obsessed with my cell phone because I am always text messaging or talking on it… but I am working on that.
- A passion i have is helping people. I will go out of my way to help someone if I see someone is struggling with someone. It may be as easy as holding a dorr and as much as spending a week and or so helping them with a project.
3) Hobbies and pasttimes
- Dancing- tap, jazz and hip hop
- Zolunteering (key club at my school)
- Traveling- went to germany and france in high school
- Anything outdoors- In the summer its swimming, camping, hiking, biking etc. In the winter I love to go ice skating. I got to the plaza almost every weekend to go skating (since its free).
- Spending time with family. My family means the world to me.
4) Groups…
- Job- The center for disbaility services: Outreach Couslor and i have been there about a year
- I used to do the friday night rec program at st. rose, i stopped this semester bc working 40 hours a week and going to school and that was to much
5) Worlds I am close with…
- I am really close with the autistic community and understanding the struggles people go through raising a child with autism. This is because my cousin has autism, i worked at a group home for kids with server autism for a year and i work with people with autim now.
- I think I also understand the world of having any disability very well. I work with people with varous disabilities and I see what they go through every day. I am a major advocate for them and I work hard to get others to understand that they are people to and deserve to be treated equal
- Other than that i am just part of the middle class society and have a pretty regular family. Except for finding out last night that I have a brother my family never told me about. But they had there reasons (bad reasons but still reasons).
