Moves to Fairmont Private Schools
My start of 2nd Grade in Fairmont marks a new spark in my life, for everything I grew up with was in this school. If I had never came to Fairmont, I probably never would've come to Oxford as well, so my life could potentially be very different -
My visit to Vietnam

New Hobbies
In the Summer, with nothing to do and after meeting some family friends and their kids, I started to spend time with new people and was exposed to new things. In this process, I became in love with activities I was once very unfamiliar with, such as roller-skating, swimming, and tennis. -
A week at Big Bear
Spending time at the top of a mountain for weeks definately introduced a period of peace and relaxation. With a lake nearby, I simply laid back and worried about nothing, aside from the summer-homework. I was so relaxed and now, I have high hopes to revisit that phase once again. -
Interest in Community Service
My entree into new clubs opened my eyes to the excellent opportunities to help those in the community. I went to different places with my classmates I have only seen in school, and yet worked together for others in need.
