Emily Crum: Assignment 1

Hi, my name is Emily Crum. I'm sixteen years old and I live with my parents, my cat, and one of my brothers. I have two brothers, but my oldest brother lives in Clemson, South Carolina because he is going to grad school there. I am a Girl Scout and have been one for ten years. I am a counselor at Girl Scout camp during the summertime. I have been dancing for ten years, and have been on a competition team for eight years. I participate in the school plays, and I am the choreographer for Beauty and the Beast this spring. My academic goal for this school year is to not have any missing assignments. My personal goal for this school year is to become more approachable. I don't really care about becoming more popular, I just want to become friendlier. Nothing truly meaningful happened to me this summer, but as a camp counselor I spent a lot of time being worshiped by small children. I had my sixteenth birthday at camp and a lot of my campers made me birthday cards, which was really sweet. In my future I hope to have a career in the medical field and be able to work for Doctors Without Borders. If all of that doesn't happen, I suppose it would be cool to own a cattle farm.
