MY MOST VIVID MEMORY

My most vivid memory was when I was about eight years old. I was on vactation in Virginia Beach with my grandparents and sisters. My grandma had boughten bubblegum and gave me a piece to chew on and told me to keep it in my mouth at all times or she would take it away.
I remember very clearly that the bubblegum I popped into my mouth was a piece of original bubblicious bubblegum. Well, after my grandma gave me the very stern warning about my bubblegum, she went to sit out on the balcony with my sisters and papa. I popped the piece in my mouth and started chewing. The juicy flavour exploded in my mouth with every chew, and once it was all softened up I decided I was going to try and blow a bubble.
It turns out that I was very good at blowing bubbles so I kept at it. Every bubble I blew seemed to get bigger and bigger until one bubble was so big that it popped - and stuck to my whole face! I was so scared that my grandma was going to come back into the room, see me with this bubblegum all over my face, and give me trouble for it, so I try so hard to scrape off the bubblegum. The only problem was, the bubblegum wouldnt come off no matter how I scratched!
Just then my grandma walked into the room and I thought my life was over. But instead of yelling at me and putting me into a time out or something, she starting laughing so hard she was crying. She went to the washroom and got a warm face cloth to wipe off the bubblegum. But I had been scratching my face so hard to get the bubblegum off that I left scratches all over my face. So when she put the cloth to my face it stung so bag. It was karma I guess; I didn't get in trouble for the bubblegum incident but I punished myself by scratching up my face.
To this day, I won't even bother blowing bubbles becuase I don't want to have the same experience ever again.

A WALK IN THE PARK

My name is Kirsten Lea Park and I'm now officially an adult as of January 11 !
fun fact? I was also born at 11:11pm! :)

I'm a grade 12 student at Orchard Park and plan on going to university.

I was a dancer for 15 and a half years and just this summer decided it was time to give it up and start focusing more on my other hobby of swimming. I'm now a lifeguard and swimming instructor at Brewster Pool. I'm hoping that being a swimming teacher will prepare me for my actual career goal in life..

Ever since I was a tiny tot, I wanted to be a teacher. I even had my own classroom in our basemen, equipped with chalkboard, little desks and all. I would even make worksheets that I would force my two younger sisters to do so that I would have somethin to mark. Hopefully, one day, I'll get to that in an actual classroom with actual students. To be specific; in an english or gym setting.
To get to that classroom I plan on working my butt off to get into McMaster and major in Kinesiology and minor in English. From there, I`ll go to teacher's college, and after that hopefully be in a highschool teaching students what I know.
Who knows, maybe I'll even end up back at Orchard Park, just this time, playing a different role.

Another Fun Fact? Me and Rob Pattinson are totally gonna get married one day <3
