Hello there!!
My name is Sabrina, i'm sixteen years old, and for some reason I have decided it's a good idea to start a blog. We'll see how this goes...
For starters, you already know my name, Sabrina Kelley. Age is 16, and school is South Salem High School. Those are the basics. Beyond that, there isn't much. Outside of school, I play water polo, I have for five years. I love it so much. The girls on that team are like my sisters. I play for my school, and also for a club outside of school. Generally, I consider myself a good player, but even good players have bad days where they just feel like they aren't any good. Beyond water polo I do swim team, although this year I decided not to do it (stupid grades).
School has always been a bit of a struggle for me, however, this year has been harder. For many reasons. I'm taking advanced classes that got so much harder this year, and I don't like it... My favorite subject is biology, but even that is not to terribly enjoyable this year... But I only have a year and a half left and then I can go to college!! I'm so excited for college!
My dream school is University of Puget Sound. It is in Tacoma, Washington, which is beautiful. I want to study to be a high school biology teacher. I want to major in biology and minor in Spanish, and eventually get my teaching degree. After college, I want to live in a small town right outside of Seattle, maybe Tacoma, and get a teaching job in a high school. I still want to play water polo in college. One of the major reasons I chose UPS (University of Puget Sound) is that it has a small water polo team. I'm so excited to play with them. Then, after college my dream is to find a masters team to play with. I can't really see my life without water polo.
Enough of college, in school I am a good student, with okay grades. School is just so hard. For so many reasons... But there are so many people I love. Teachers, students, friends, etc. I'm involved in my school's Gay Straight Alliance (GSA). I am one of the main leaders. We work to make the school environment a better place for all the LGBT+ students. That is something I am very passionate about. The world is so stupid and there is no reason for people to discriminate against anyone, but that is a subject for another day. The students in that club get me through the rough times. My favorite teacher is actually one from freshman year. She is the one I go to for everything. Things so little as her hugs brighten my day. She's a wonderful woman. Friends are wonderful, and not at the same time. Friends are the ones that get me through, and also the ones that cause issues. Sometimes friends are just so hard to get rid of. But for the most part, I love all my friends dearly.
At home I live with my mom, step-father, twin sister, and my little brother. They are wonderful most of the time. My brother and I have some issues and squabbles some of the time, but isn't that normal for siblings? A lot of people always ask how it is to be a twin. In truth, it is the only thing I have ever known, so it's just normal to me. Other than that, my family is great and I love them all dearly. :) I love my mom to death. I tell her everything. I don't know what I would do without her. Thanks mom for always being there for me. I love you!
Well, there is just a snippet of my life. Thanks for reading, and welcome to my blog!!
See you all next week. :)
Sabrina
