a single individual, so small in this vast expanse of the universe, one would hardly suppose could make such a

I know the link said 'Past,' but this is really about the past And the present AND the awaited future.

I have lived in the Pacific Northwest my whole life, 2/3 of it on the coast. I previously resided with my mother in a medium-sized university city before moving to a smallish town on the ocean. Major pastimes included dance, reading, sports, and imaginative dressup play. Sometimes I'd write plays and act them out entirely by myself for my family.
I rememember being 5 years old and wondering about the deep questions of the world.. LOL but I have to admit, I must have seemed like a charming ^little girl; enormous vocabulary, curious, and intent.

Just to get a glimpse of what I'm like and what I do, here are some of the extra-curricular activities I've participated in:

dance: gymnastics, pointe, ballet, jazz, acro, Performing Group, modern, west african, afro-brazilian..

• Presidential Award for Excellence in Academics
• Presidential Service Award
• Daughters of the American Revolution State Essay Winner
• United States Achievement Academy Yearbook (History& Government, Service & Leadership)
• Creative Communications Publishing
• Positively Perky Person =)
• Various academic and service- related recognitions
Well that's getting old to read so on to the next part.

As I said before, I live in a small coastal town, what I didn't mention is that I live with my parents, younger brother, two cats, dog, two parakeets, a tempermental computer named -bob-, and am in love with someone. Jesus. (haha no see you're lucky you don't have to read about my romance life) I'm 7 years older than my lil bro and so I'm pretty protective of him. Last summer I went to BASIC, chaperoned the 8th grade honors science/history camping trip, had my cousins from AK come down to visit, and we remodelled our house! This summer, I began teaching at the dance studio, continued to work at the bakery, and went to NYC! (No, was not there for the blackout)

My foreign exchange has been put on hold, maybe until a college semester study. Next summer I would like to work at Camp Lutherwood Dance is going great. I'm excited for this dance year... College-wise, I'd like to go to a Christian college (Thinking George Fox, Westmont..) and need to work on my essays! I don't know what I'd like to major in but my life goal is to raise a purple flamingo. Oh and the less tangible goal is to be a help make a positive change in the world and use my talents to give back to God and the community. "the past is history; the future is a mystery" and they call now a present!
