Introductory Blog

     Hello, my name is Paige and I am a freshman at Fort Lauderdale High School in Florida. I am  writing this blog for one of my classes, AICE Media Studies. My other classes are, Algebra 2 Honors, Chemistry Honors, AICE General Paper, AICE Global Perspectives, Spanish 1 Honors and Computer Technology Honors. My favorite classes are Chemistry, Algebra 2 and Media Studies. Math has always been my favorite subject which is why I enjoy Algebra and Chemistry. I have never taken a class like Media Studies before but so far I love learning about film. High School has been a big adjustment for me. I went to a small middle school that was very close to where I live, now I go a large school that is 30 minutes away, and the bus ride is an hour. Despite these changes I am enjoying high school.
   
     I like participating in many different extra curricular activities. I am a volleyball player. I played in middle school and was captain of my team in 8th grade. After that I played at a club called Florida Suns. Now I am on the JV team at my high school and am going to start at a new volleyball club soon. I also joined the Surfrider Club, which is an environmental group that focuses on ocean conservation. I am also looking forward to being on the board of a nonprofit organization called Make a Friend Be a Friend Inc. where we support children who have disabilities that limit their ability to socialize/communicate. Next year I am hoping to join National Honor Society. In middle school I was president of National Junior Honor Society.

     In my free time I like to play games, hang out with friends and watch TV. I used to play video games on my Xbox but now I only play games on my phone. Board games are also my favorite; I love Monopoly. Some of my favorite TV shows are Grey's Anatomy, Survivor and Friends. In the summer I go to North Carolina. I have lots of friends up there and we bike everywhere. I am 14 years old but my birthday is next week so soon' I will be able to get my learners permit to drive. I am very excited! That sums up almost everything you need to know about me, thanks for reading.
