My family has always eaten a lot of fresh vegetables because my grandmother has a bountiful garden which she maintains and cans the produce from. My mom likes to cook a lot of different delicacies and tries new recipes from a multitude of cultures. One night we might be having tilapia filets and the next were having lentil soup and sweet potatoes. Because of this I also like to try lots of new food and be creative when I cook as well. I have the luxury of eating home grown food prepared by my grandmother and unique blends of culture that my mom prepares. I wouldn't say I have a favorite meal, but I have found out you can't really go wrong with soup. I have eaten more kinds of soup than I can name.
I started my journey when I joined a Girl Scout troop when I was in elementary school, but as girls started getting busy with sports and leaders started leaving, it eventually disbanded. I didn't really want to join another troop so I wasn't in scouting for a couple years. When I turned 14 I found out about Venturing, a co-ed program within Boy Scouts for anyone ages 14 to 21. I immediately started looking for a crew and once I found one I really enjoyed being a part of it. I loved hanging out with people that also liked the outdoors and getting to go on amazing adventures with them. I n 2019 girls were officially allowed to join Boy Scouts and form their own troops. This meant girls were able to earn merit badges, have ranks, and become Eagle Scouts. I was ecstatic to be part of a troop. I learned about many different jobs, how to shoot a gun, survival skills, and how to be a positive member of society. ...
This is a sport I was exposed to when I was quite young. My mom started skiing when she was a teenager and introduced my dad to it after they started dating. They both really enjoyed taking a trip in the winter months to ski and eventually my sister and I were old enough to try it out. At first it wasn't fun at all because we kept falling over and we got cold and frustrated. The next couple times we actually started to get the hang of it and had fun. We don't get to ski every year because it can get expensive to rent the gear and buy a lift ticket for the slope. Every time we do go I end up spending the entire day skiing and only stop to refuel with food and water. I would like to say I've gotten pretty good at skiing. I even taught my younger cousin how to ski when he went with us one time. My favorite part is being at the top of the mountain and getting to look out over the snowy landscape. It's very peaceful. I never want to leave.
