Who am I?

Hi, my name is Sydnie. I am a senior in high school. Wow, senior year. It is a big and important year. This is the year that I will apply to college (one down, five to go) and graduate from high school. Going to college, leaving my family and most of my friends is a frightening thought, but change is a part of life. So now that I've spoken about college, it's time to talk more about me. I love my friends and family. Recently, I cooked an entire meal for my family and cut up an entire raw chicken. Apparently, raw chicken is extremely hard to cut and is usually cooked first. Anyway, the meal turned out great and I discovered that I love cooking and I'm good at it. I work at a daycare center three days a week. It is my third year working there and I love it. At work, I teach cooking, yoga, and jewelry making. Another passion of mine is traveling. I have been to Israel, Canada, Mexico, Italy, France, England, Alaska, Hawaii, and numerous other islands and states. Most of the time, I travel with my family. My brother goes to the University of Illinois, and my sister is a sophomore at the same high school as me. My dad is a lawyer and my mom is a yoga teacher and a homemaker. Hopefully, when I am an adult, I will either be a lawyer or a teacher like my parents (not a yoga but a history teacher). I love to read, watch television, cook, do yoga, hang out with my friends, and spend time with my family (in no particular order). My parents are immense inspirations in my life, and so is Hillary Clinton. I wrote my fourteen page junior research paper on Hillary Clinton's campaign. My goal in life is to be a happy well-adjusted adult, with a good job, amazing friends, and a loving family. Hopefully, my job will be either in family or entertainment law or as a high school history teacher. I also would like to help as many people as possible through my job and community service.

Wow - cooking an entire meal for the family! What a great skill to have already at your age. You sound blessed with a great family. How fortunate that you could be living to see Hillary's campaign. When I was at Maine East I taught with Hillary's high school American History teacher, Paul Carlson. He was quite a guy.
