Hey Everyone! One of my toughest challenges is keeping up with my school work while participating in my karate and cheerleading activities. I am an 8th grader at Westminster Christian School. I like school a lot and I get really good grades because I am very organized and disciplined.
Chalk those habits up to my karate training! Every year, I miss about 25-30 days of school because I am always traveling for karate or cheerleading. It is really hard because I have to study ahead and do homework on stuff I haven't even learned yet. Then when I get back, I'm behind and have to catch up quick. I have a huge project coming up and I have to finish it early because I will be absent when it is due. Turning it in late is just not an option, not a good option anyway. I am making a totally cool poetry book for English. This book will include all the poems I have written throughout the year on different subjects. I love my school because I can learn about and pray to God. I am grateful for the talents He has given me. My school is kind of small compared to public schools in Miami. There are about 200 kids in my graduating class. Most of the kids I know there, I have been at school with since we were in kindergarten.
What do I want to be when I grow up? I want to be an orthodontist. I have a lot of experience with braces because it seems like I have been wearing them forever. I love a great smile so I think I should help people get a great smile.
