Welcome to Action Heroes Wanted and the begining of my very first blog posting. I would like to start off by introducing myself. Below is my story. My autobiography. I would also like to know more about you, so please write me and share your story.
INTRODUCTION
My name is Bailey and this is my autobiography. I was born
before the stroke of midnight on May 29, 2001. My mom and dad choose the name
"Bailey" for me because they once took a trip to Ireland and found it
to be a popular and light hearted name
of many of the boys and girls there. I am glad they chose the name
for me because I really like it a lot.
I live in Michigan, where we get to experience all four seasons,
as they should be. Breezy springs, warm summers, snowy winters and brisk falls.
The weather is always unpredictable here, and hard to forecast. This is because
large bodies of water known as the Great Lakes surround Michigan!
I guess I am like most kids my age. I like having friends, being active and spending time with those I love. People who know me say that I am artistic, creative and sometimes silly. I am thankful for everything that I have and the opportunities both earned and given to me.
My mom, Karen went to Michigan State University when she was
younger and received a degree in design. Today she is a very artistic and
creative art director designing colorful posters, product displays and
promotional materials. My mom is also a good cook. I really like her chili and homemade
Alfredo. It is the best!
My dad's name is Sean. He went to Ferris State University
and earned degrees in technology, mechanical engineering and business. He has
worked for several large companies including General Motors. Today he is a
partner in a software development company that makes health and wellness
educational tools for K-12th grade students to use. My dad is like a big kid.
He likes to build crazy stuff like guitars, robots and cool animated Halloween
props. He also likes to play video games.
I don't have a brother or sister, but I do have a large
fluffy orange beast of a cat named Buster. He is very loving and affectionate.
He wants to be with us all the time.
I enjoy going to school and learning new things. My favorite
subjects include reading, math and science. I like to read because I get to use
my own imagination to create the pictures. I also enjoy art and music. I have
been learning how to play the violin for two years. I like the violin because
it sounds pretty and it is a challenge to learn. I like all my teachers. They all
work hard and make class time fun.
I recently started to learn how to ride a horse. I have
ridden horses in the past but wanted to know how to actually care for, prep and
ride properly. Horses are beautiful animals and each one has its own
personality. Some can be stubborn while others are more laid back. I
don't know if I will ever own a horse. Perhaps when I am older? Who knows?
During the winter months, I like to go downhill skiing and ice-skating.
I started learning how to ski about four years ago. The place I go to have a
program where kids learn to ski properly and have a chance to earn badges. The
badges are probably similar to getting a level belt in karate. If you can
demonstrate to the instructor that you can do a particular move or series of
moves properly, then you go up a level and earn a badge.
I recently started a new Website that this blog is a part
of. The site is called
Action Heroes Wanted and its purpose is to inspire people to be
kind, help each other whenever possible and to praise those among us that are true unsung heroes.
I am speaking of everyday people like you and me. People who are not aware of
the fact that their everyday actions make our world a better place. I have many ideas for my blog and website and welcome feedback.
I truly hope that you find some merit and enjoyment from
reading my blog entry and I would be honored if you subscribed.
Thank you.
