Hi!!!
My name is Ava and I am fourteen years old. I was born and
live in Townsville - a city in far North Queensland, Australia.
Currently, I am in grade ten at Townsville State High School
and have been studying Japanese since grade five. Nice to
meet you!
I live at home with my two parents, Richard and Susan, and
am an only child. I have one dog named Jackson who is a
Maltese Terrier X. We also feed the wild birds that live
around our house, which are mostly pigeons.
Each day I wake up, shower, eat breakfast and get driven
to school. At school I study six subjects per semester.
At the moment, these include maths, English, science, SOSE
(Studies Of Society and the Environment), computer studies
and of course Japanese. My Japanese class is very small,
as there are only six people in total. This is good though,
as it makes everything more fun and relaxed. Our teacher
Mrs. Robertson is really nice and funny and lets us talk
in class... Sometimes that is.
Even though the class is small, there are lots of different
personalities. I'm lucky because one of my best friends
Mikaela is also in the class. However, there are some really
crazy people who are very amusing to listen to.
Apart from Japanese, my other favourite subjects are maths
and science and I hope to work in these fields someday.
Still, I can't decide what I want to be exactly. There are
just so many things to choose from!!!
After school, I participate in a variety of extra-curricular
activities. On Tuesday nights, I attend Girl Guides, and
have been a member of the sisterhood since I was seven.
Over the years, I have achieved my Bronze and Silver Endeavours,
as well as my Junior BP and BP. At the moment I am trying
to earn my Queen's Guide award. Also, I am a patrol leader
in my unit and have been for quite a while. However, my
unit is only very small, consisting of only about seven
girls and two leaders - Miss Christie and Tracy.
This year and last year, I have been a member of my school's
netball team, and we compete in an interschool competition.
Personally, I like to play defence, especially Wing Defence,
Goal Keeper and Goal Defence. We have only had four games
this term, and unfortunately we have lost all that we have
played. However, I still enjoy it and have a good time,
regardless of whether we win or lose.
My favourite hobby though, is dancing! I just love it! I
have been learning modern and tap at Ann Roberts School
of Dancing since I was about five. I dance every Thursday
evening and am currently in Bronze Star. I am hoping to
complete both of my exams later in the year with satisfactory
results, but this will take a lot of practising!!!
Besides the above activities, when I'm not at school (or
doing my homework) I like to play with my dog, go shopping
with my friends or read. I read quite a lot, and my favourite
authors are Christopher Pike, Jane Austen and Agatha Christie.
I have read almost all of Jane Austen's books, my favourite
of which being Pride and Prejudice.
All of these things represent my lifestyle, which I like
very much. I enjoy school, my extracurricular activities
and just relaxing at home and with friends.
