My
name is Majella, however my friends know me as "Jam". I
am 15 years old. I live on a Dairy farm in a small town
called Yarroweyah.
All my life I have been on a dairy farm taking turns
with the rest of the family to milk the cows. I love most
animals, except cows because they smell.
I attend school in a town close to my own, called Cobram.
I travel to school by bus and it takes about 45 minutes
to get to school. The school I go to is called 'Christ
the King Anglican College'. My younger sister also goes
to the school. My school is rather small, but I like a
small school because it means there are fewer students
in each class. In my class there are 14 students. There
would be about 105 students in the whole school. The teachers
and students are great and are a lot of fun. My favorite
subjects at school are: Art, Cooking, Japanese, and English.
I think these are my favorite subjects because it shows
my creative side and I like languages.
I have 9 people in my family; 4 brothers, 2 sisters,
Mum, Dad and myself. Now, only Mum, Dad, my younger sister
and myself live together as my other siblings are older
and have moved away. But they still visit a lot.
My interests are Latin/American dancing, shopping, movies
and music. I do my Latin/American dancing once a week.
I travel to Shepparton to do my lessons, Some of my family
members also attend. Cobram to Shepparton is 80 km, which
is around 40 minutes. They have different groups and I
do the Social one. The social group is a fun but social
type group. They have another group, which is called 'Medals'
which is a more serious group and some are champions.
I also have a job at Ritchie's IGA supermarket, in my
hometown. I only work twice a week but it is still good
for extra spending money, but I try to save. Depending
what day of the week it is, I can work from a 3-hour shift
to an 8-hour shift. My job includes of serving customers
at the checkouts and sometimes un-packing. I get paid
$8 an hour.
As I said before, I love to watch movies, shop, listen
to music and to party, just like most girls. My favorite
movies are: "Dude Where's My Car", Grease, Coyote Ugly
and the Sweetest Thing. My favorite singers are Delta
Goodrem, Robbie Williams and Enrique Iglasis. These are
a few of the popular singers at the moment in Australia.
In my opinion, I find myself to be a rather happy and
cheerful person, who is a lot of fun. Out of my group
of friends at school I am probably the 'Girlie Girl'.
I think I am a fairly friendly and kind person who loves
to smile. I also love life.
In life, I try to achieve to do the best of my ability.
When things don't go my way I get a little annoyed but
I get over it rather quickly and move on. I'm NOT the
type of person who gets frustrated or worried easy and
take things pretty easy. However, I can be very sarcastic
at times. When I do things I take my time and try not
to stress.
