My name is Bella Gehrs and I am the third oldest out of seven children. I have five brothers and one sister. I am closest with my 2nd oldest brother, Daniel, because we are very similar in humor and personality. My siblings ages range from 4-23 years old. With a big family, I am constantly moving because I have to drive my siblings to their sports and other activities and do pickups for my parents.
I am involved in sports in and out of school; the sports that I do are basketball and track and field. I have been doing both of those sports since middle school. I try to play a sport every season in order to stay in shape and to improve on my skills.
When I am not doing sports, I am either hanging out with my friends or listening to music. I like to surround myself with people that I can trust and are outgoing. I am still close with my kindergarten friend and consider her as my best friend, but unfortunately we both go to different schools; she goes to Benet Academy. I recently got in touch with some of my old classmates from my junior high and got to meet their friends because I wanted to keep in touch with them, and I love meeting new people. I would rather be out with friends than staying home because I constantly have to be social and doing something, especially since it’s senior year. No matter what I do, I try to make the best of it because that moment will only happen once, so better make it count.
