My academic goals this year are to get all A's, to jump 2-4 points on my ACT, and to join a lot of clubs. I would also like to score well on all 4 of my AP tests, and narrow down the list of my top colleges by the end of the year. For my personal goals, I really want to get a good job (I just applied to American Eagle yesterday!), I want to get fit, and eat healthier. I used to be a health freak, but lately I've not been eating so healthy and working out as much, so I want to get back to that.
This summer was really great for me, so I can't pick a single favorite moment. I went to Camp Burnamwood in Irvine, KY (with my good friends Dany Vissing, Taylor Hodges, and Grace Bond) like I have for the past few summers. I also went on vacation in Destin, FL with my family. Another fun thing I did was VolunTeen, which is a six week teen volunteer program with UK Healthcare. I worked in the gift shop as a cashier and I worked in the surgery waiting room where I escorted people to see their loved ones pre- and post-operation. That was a really cool experience because I got to meet and help a lot of new people-- I'm definitely going to do it again next summer.
If I could have one super power I would have the ability to travel in time, because that could basically give me anything I would want in life since if anything bad happened to me I could just go back in time and change any decisions that contributed to it.
As far as what geeks me out, there is a very simple one word answer to that: food. I am definitely a major foodie (I know a lot of people say that, but really). I am commonly and affectionately known by some as "That Hungry Girl." I love to eat, I love to travel and I love to try new things. I think one of the best ways to learn about a different culture is by trying their foods and learning about their food habits. I would love to work at a company like Tastemade, where I would get to make food videos and just blog about food. My biggest dream in life is to have a job where I get paid to travel and eat food from around the world. For years I have said that one of my biggest life goals is to become a millionaire, but I would happily give up that goal if I could be paid to travel and eat food from around the world, even if I would only get paid just enough to get by. I've been cooking since I was like 6 years old. When I was 7 I told my parents I wanted to open my own candy store when I grew up called "The Sugar Bowl." When I was 11, I wanted to open up a restaurant called "Baxter's Bark and Growl" (Baxter was my dog and "bark and growl" is a play on "bar and grill") which would be a restaurant where people can bring their dogs. Now, since I was like 14, I have wanted to open my own bakery called Celebr8tion Cake Shop--the 8 represents the 8 main cake and cupcake flavors we will sell (vanilla, white, chocolate, strawberry, red velvet, carrot cake, wedding cake, and birthday cake), all of the prices will end in 8, and promotions will be "8" themed. Yes, I have put a lot of thought into this. I also plan to have several specialty cake flavors in addition to many types of pastries. But the essence of my bakery will come from the custom-decorated cakes. I've been cake decorating since I was 8 years old and watched Cake Boss for the first time. In 2012, I had the privilege of meeting Buddy Valastro from Cake Boss (picture below--yes, I was crying). Now as a part of my own little business, KC Cakes, I decorate cakes for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. I think the main reason I love doing it is because I love the fact that cake makes people so happy. I love to see the look on people's faces when I show them their finished cake. Anyway, I'm sorry this is so long, I just really like to talk about my love for food.
Here are some pictures of my cakes and of the time I met Buddy:
