Christianity is not only important to my everyday life, but a part of my identity. I look to God for major decisions, hopes, hardships, thanks, and wisdom. I love that being Christian helps me be a better sister, daughter, and friend, and I hope to grow more in my faith and understanding of the Bible.

I started dancing at a studio when I was 5, but once I got to the middle school, I joined the Spring Lake Park Dance Team. Right now, I am enrolled in the fall season, so I am very excited to preform at the football games and dance shows.

We adopted my dog, Mikko in 2016. I was 7 years old, happier than ever to finally have a pet! My family named him after a hockey player we really liked, Mikko Koivu. The first three years were rough, but now that he is eight years old, we are grateful as ever to have such a loving, proctective pet!

Better Than The Movies by Lynn Painter is a rom-com with an enemies-to-lovers theme. I really loved the main character. She is quirky, funny, and I enjoyed how confident she was. The love interest is also a great character. My favorite thing about it was how quickly it hooked me.

A USA TODAY and New York Times bestseller Perfect for fans of Kasie West and Jenn Bennett, this “sweet and funny” (Kerry Winfrey, author of Waiting for Tom Hanks) teen rom-com follows a hopelessly romantic teen girl and her cute yet obnoxious neighbor as they scheme to get her noticed by her untouchable crush.Perpetual daydreamer Liz Buxbaum gave her heart to Michael a long time ago. But her cool, aloof forever crush never really saw her before he moved away. Now that he’s back in town, Liz will do whatever it takes to get on his radar—and maybe snag him as a prom date—even befriend Wes Bennet. The annoyingly attractive next-door neighbor might seem like a prime candidate for romantic comedy fantasies, but Wes has only been a pain in Liz’s butt since they were kids. Pranks involving frogs and decapitated lawn gnomes do not a potential boyfriend make. Yet, somehow, Wes and Michael are hitting it off, which means Wes is Liz’s in. But as Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz noticed by Michael so she can have her magical prom moment, she’s shocked to discover that she likes being around Wes. And as they continue to grow closer, she must reexamine everything she thought she knew about love—and rethink her own ideas of what Happily Ever After should look like.

School-wise, I am interested in psychology, biology, and writing. My strengths include accountability, my efficiency, and my ability to ask my teacher questions when i have them. I need a teacher who can make learning fun and interactive, while still being able to explain complex ideas and topics. In order for me to understand new information, I need to be taken through the basics first, simplified by the teacher, then into the deeper meanings and details of the topic. I work well with groups, especially when it consists of people I am comfortable with. I also work well independently.

I have my mom, my dad, my sisters Grace and Brooklyn, (18 and 10) my dog, Mikko, and a service dog we are fostering named Ling. One of my favorite hobbies is dog sitting. It is an easy way to make good money and it brings me closer to the other families around me. Another hobby of mine is dancing, especially for the school. It helps me make friends with girls in other grades, as well as get closer with my key friends, Claire, Ainsley, and Emma, in my grade.

This summer, I did a lot of dog sitting for my neighbors, which benefited me much more than working in a restaurant. I used the money towards shopping at the mall, which is something I love to do. I went to Florida with my friend, Claire, and watched her dance at nationals. Throughout the summer, I got really close with my group of friends. We hung out altogether swimming, bonfires, and the state fair.

One thing going well for me is my group of friends. They are all so fun to hang out with and I can be myself around them. During the summer we always went swimming in the lake and pool. Now, we have bonfires after home games or us get in a group for fun. All in all, I am very grateful for a big group of friends that make me happy.
