So you came to this page to learn a little bit about me. Depending on the person you ask there might be lots to talk about or little, since this is about myself I’ll keep it brief. First, off family, I am the oldest of four kids. Two of them being twin fraternal sisters (12), and the youngest being my brother (11). My mom is from Iowa and my dad immigrated here from Slovakia to go to Iowa State where my parents met. From then I was born and life was great for four years until my sisters were born, then life became chaotic.
I say this because when our family extended we had to move to a new house, still in Naperville but our house was just too small for all of us. I was about 5 at this time and was actually very excited to have baby sisters until they started to walk. When these kids started to become mobile life became very chaotic, they would run into each other all the time, and one time, they took each others teeth out and we had 4 broken teeth on our kitchen floor that still have never been found.
My brother, on the other hand, was born a year after my sisters and he caused a whole different type of chaos, one time when he was about 4 years old we were all sitting on the floor in the family room when we notice that David has just swallowed a quarter, immediately we all went into panic mode and rushed him to the hospital. Everything was fine in the end but I hope this helps exemplify the craziness of my family and how clumsy we all can be sometimes.
So that’s my family, I hope this provided a little bit of information about where I come from every day and what I have to live with. Everyone’s family is crazy but mine has a different type of crazy that’s hard for even me to explain.
A couple of things that I do in school and out are being a student ambassador for Naperville North and playing on the hockey team at North. I have been a student ambassador for 2 years now and have played hockey for North all four. I started playing when I was eight years old but I can remember being interested in the sport when I was about five and my dad taught me to skate when I was about three. I also am very involved in my church being a peer minister. One of my favorite hobbies outside of school is snowboarding. I started off skiing but when I was 12 I figured out that snowboarding sounded and looked way cooler so I went for the transition. I mean, never know when you’re gonna find a bird on the mountain, right? But the thing I do the most outside of school is spending Saturdays with the boys. All these things I feel like shape me into the person I am today.
So that’s me, hopefully, I didn’t bore you, and if you got any of the references, you’re ferda.
