Kelsey's Personal Odyssey

  • My Birth

    My Birth
    This was the day Kelsey Michelle Phelps was born. My mom wanted to name me Samantha Joe, so she could call me Sammy Joe. Thank the lord for her friends that said no. My mom told me that this was the happiest moment of her life. Everyday i wake up, think about the day she said that. My mom is my world.

    The day I met  Madeline Elise Dodson.
    I met Maddie in pre-school. We have been best friends for ten years. We go to the beach almost every summer. She helps me when i'm going through a rough time. She is always there when I need someone to talk to. She is like my sister.
  • My first trip to the beach.

  • My mom's wedding

    My mom's wedding
    This was my mom's special day. We had been planning this for a year. My mom looked so beautiful. I cried, when she was walking down the aisle. My dad was such a softy and started crying. A few months after they got married, my stepdad adopted me. So then i became a Phelps like the rest of my family.
  • I went to Disney World and I got to swim with dolphins.

    I went to Disney World and I got to swim with dolphins.
    This was deffinately the best trio ever. I went to Disney World, that was an experience. My favorite part of the trip was when I swam with Akiah ( the cutest dolphin). I remember the water was so cold,but it was worth it. I love animals and it was definately the best experience ever. There was a couple who was swimming with a different dolphin, and the dolphin brought the ring on a life saver. It was the sweetest thing, i had ever seen.
  • I made North's soccer team.

    I made North's soccer team.
    This was the first sports team I was on in High School. Everyday during the summer I got up at 6, because I had to be at the soccer field at 7. So from 7 to 9. We ran alot, and scrimmaged. I was so nervous when it came try-out time. In the end all my hard work paid off.
  • I made North's JV basketball team.

    I made North's JV basketball team.
    This was the second sports team that I was on as a freshman. There was not a freshman team,which made try-outs much more difficult. Th sad thing was I mad the team and one of my really good friends did not. I felt so bad. When it really came down to I wanted it more, I guess. I didn't play very much, but it was the fact that I was on the team a freshman.
