All About Me

I was born on January 19, 2001 on the island of Kaua'i in Wilcox Hospital at 4:04 a.m. I was born three months early and the doctors thought I was a boy throughout the whole pregnancy. So while my mom was going into labor, the doctors told her that I probably wouldn't cry because boys don't develop as fast as girls. But as my mom gave birth they heard loud cries and the doctors told my mom it was a girl! Surprised, yet happy, my mom was glad that I was fully developed.  I was actually double the weight they intended me to be. Usually a three month early baby is about two pounds, but I came out to be four pounds. Everyone was happy that I was fully developed and in pretty good health.

 There is 4 people in my family including myself. My mom, dad, little brother and I. My little brother is 3 and so far he is the only sibling I have. In age, my brother and I are nine years and nine months apart. Since our age difference is big, I am able to help my parents with him. My brother, named Mo is very, very hyper and loves to just jump around and play. I really wish I had as much energy as him.

My family and I love going on outdoor adventures. We mainly hike up mountains, swim in different salt and fresh water places, and just cruise. Sleeping giant is one of the mountains we like to hike because its not to hard and not to easy, so its a great family spot. Once you reach the top of Sleeping Giant there is a beautiful view of Kaua'i. We also like to hike to a waterfall in the mountains called Secret Falls. Its a famous tourist spot with a beautiful waterfall. The walk in is about 15 minutes and then you get to the falls. The water is very cold and makes you feel so fresh. There are a lot more places we like to go but it would take a while to write about.

My favorite hobbies are playing basketball, swimming, hiking, and taking photo's. I've played basketball from a very young age. I think I enjoy playing basketball because not only my entire family loves basketball, but also because of the rush it gives you. I love shooting the ball and watching it pass through the net. Also, I love swimming and hiking because it's a good exercise. Also because its able to relax me and have a great time with family. Lastly I love taking photo's because I love to look back at my photo's and reminisce back to that day. Although I don't have a great camera yet, I am able to capture beautiful photo's thru my iphone 5. In the future I want to buy a nikon camera and take more beautiful pictures and edit them on adobe bridge.

This is my second year in the Gifted and Talented Program at Kapa'a Middle school. This program lasts three years and so far has really helped me improve my knowledge about technology. I love G.T. because not only do we get to learn about our newest technologies but we also get to do group projects and we get to explore the many wonderful things about the internet. I also love this class because of the different programs we get to use (photoshop, adobe bridge, garage band ect). At times I struggle to finish projects because of the advanced technology but Mr. Sanderl, our teacher is really helpful and always gives us time and shows us "how to" demo's. I recommend this class to all people because it not only helps you in school but also out of school.
