Coco is currently nine years old and is almost as small as the day we got him. I grew up always having a dog, cat, or even a rat. I always loved to travel and stay active. I spent all of my time outdoors. Since I have a big family I was very close to my cousins who lived in my same neighborhood. One of my best friends to this day is my grandma who lives across the street from me. |
This is my family. I grew up in Kalkaska, Michigan with my mother Deborah, father Chris, and sister Alicia. Not to mention my three pound dog Coco. I live near Log Lake which was ideal for my cousins and I to go paddle boating. My house is surrounded by acres of woods that allowed me to adventure a lot and stay active. The highlights of my summers always included the one and only Torch Lake. |
My best friend Cassie Fitzgerald and I share the same urge to travel and take adventures together. Some of our most memorable trips were to the Sleeping Bear Dunes, Warped tour in Auburn Hills, Art Prize in Grand Rapids, and Hollywood Beach in Florida.
The Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes are one of the greatest National Parks in Michigan. It offers miles of dunes and a perfect view of Lake Michigan. |
Warped Tour hosts over 100 bands that preform over the course of one day. The extreme heat didn't stop us from seeing some of our favorite bands. |
Once a year Art Prize arrives to Grand Rapids where hundreds of art pieces are left on display through the entire city. This was one of the several art pieces. |
I have been blessed to have taken several family vacations around the world. When I get older I hope to have the opportunity to travel more. Our vacations range from the warm tropics such as Mexico to the cold mountains in Tennessee. Some of the best memories in my life so far include traveling. Its a huge part of who I am and it's something I love.
One of my first big vacations I went on was to Cancun Mexico. I have been there twice now and it still remains one of my favorite trips. Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic, was one of the most beautiful places I have ever traveled to. I got the chance to zip line for the first time. |
Twice I have gotten the chance to travel to Chicago. I love big cities. This picture was taken from the top of the John Hancock Tower. This picture was taken as the sun was rising in Hollywood Florida. This was my first vacation where Cassie and I had flown on our own. |
On September 27th, 2016, Cassie and I traveled to Grand Rapids for Art Prize. This piece was a women made completely out of wire. Family vacation to Riviera Maya, Mexico. We stayed at an all inclusive resort that was perfect for snorkeling. |
I've also traveled to several different locations in Florida such as the Keys. Through my travels to other places and from an excursion through the Smokey Mountains, I have also been to states such as Indiana, Tennessee, Georgia, Kentucky, and Illinois.
Some of my favorite memories are at concerts. I have seen Wiz Khalifa, Hoodie Allen, Fall Out Boy, Hunter Hayes, Ed Sheeran, and more. The best concert of all was attending Warped tour in the summer of 2016. Concerts have always been a great love of mine.
