My Journey Through The Years- Mikayla Vasilevich

  • My Birth

    My Birth

    This was the day I was born with my twin brother Michael! My parents were so happy that they had us! My mom on the other hand was in seven heavens when my brother and I came out of her wound.
  • The Day my Brother and I turned 1!

    The Day my Brother and I turned 1!

    Omg! When My brother and I turned 1 we were so ecstatic. When we saw the cake on our high chairs our jaws dropped. My brother and I never have eaten anything like that cake! It was amazing!
  • First time I stepped onto the ice

    First time I stepped onto the ice

    When I was younger I always went to all of my dad's hockey games and he coached so I also went to all of those hockey games as well. All my life I've pretty much lived at a hockey rink. But, the first time I stepped on the ice it felt magical. I was so excited to start my journey as a hockey player and that day came when I was about 3 years old.
  • First time I walked into SCHOOL

    First time I walked into SCHOOL

    The first time I walked into Edison Park Elementary was my first day of kindergarten! I was so excited to go to school for the first time! It was a great first day of kindergarten.
  • Sporty- Softball and Hockey

    Sporty- Softball and Hockey

    I have always been very sporty! When I was younger I play hockey, softball, soccer, basketball, and volleyball! A lot right? Yes, I was a very active kid, oh, and also I was a swimmer. I loved all the sports I played because most of them are all different and that's what I liked about it.
  • THE DAY I HELPED AN ELDER

    THE DAY I HELPED AN ELDER

    Around my neighborhood, we have a couple of older people. These older people have been on my block for a very long time, I'm pretty sure ever since they had kids in their houses. Every winter I always try to help them in any way possible. For example whenever it would snow I would shovel their driveway for them so they don't have to get out of their house in the cold weather.
  • Grandparents, uncle ,and aunt that moved to Florida- Understanding

    Grandparents, uncle ,and aunt that moved to Florida- Understanding

    I was very understanding when my grandparents, uncle, and aunt told us that they were moving to Florida. It was just for the better for them. They were moving there because of their jobs, but it was just annoying that they left us.
  • I like to give and help others- Generous

    I like to give and help others- Generous

    One day I went to hockey and of course, I bring two sticks to every practice. That day I walked into the rink and one of my friends said, "Do you have an extra stick I can borrow?" "Of course I do!" So I let her borrow it. Everything went very well during that practice!
  • DISAPPOINTED DAY

    DISAPPOINTED DAY

    This day I was so disappointed. Do you want to know why? Well, this day we went to Great America and I went will my brother, another group of twins, my sister, and her friends. I was in about 5th grade at the time and I was pretty short as a 5th grader. I always tried to get on the big rides, but I was never tall enough to go on the ride. I thought this was the day, but when I got to Great America they said I was not tall enough to go on the ride. ;(
  • 8th Grade Graduation

    8th Grade Graduation

    Ugh, this was a very hard day. I have been with the same people for about 8 years. CRAZY RIGH? I've been with them since kindergarten. I was really sad because all of my friends went to different schools. That was a tuff day for me. It was probably a tuff day for everyone to be honest.
  • Family vaca to Virginia

    Family vaca to Virginia

    Omg, this trip was so fun! It was one of my mom's friends' mom and dad's 50th anniversary. We stayed in a hotel, but we were never there. We were always at their house because it was so big and they had a boat. We wakeboarded, tubed, and water skied. It was so fun! I was so happy on one of the days because I was the only one to get up on the wakeboard and I was just so proud of myself because I got up on it. It also was my first time wakeboarding.
  • Hard work passes off

    Hard work passes off

    For the past two years, I've been trying to be in harder classes. I was the only one that could do that, no one else me. I had to put in the hard work for my dream to happen so I did that! In my junior year of high school, my hard work paid off because now I am taking a couple of IB classes.
  • When I got my braces on

    When I got my braces on

    At first, when I didn't have braces I wanted them so much, but right when I got them I hated them! Ugh, they hurt so bad, I couldn't feel my face when I got them and also I couldn't eat for the longest time.
  • CARING FOR OTHERS

    CARING FOR OTHERS

    Well, I care for a lot of people, they are my family, friends, coaches, and random people. But, this one day I was so kind and respectful to this one random person I didn't know. It was when I was walking around the block and I saw this person struggling to bring their groceries inside their house. So I was very caring and willing to help. I really help people in need when they are struggling with things.
  • My First AAA Hockey Team

    My First AAA Hockey Team

    For about 6 years I've been playing at the AA division and that division isn't as competitive as AAA. When you play AAA you are traveling, practice, and playing a lot more games than you would be playing for AA. The first AAA team I was on is called Team Illinois. This year would be my second year playing for them!
  • E-Learning

    E-Learning

    Ugh, here we go talking about e-learning now. At the begging of e-learning, I thought it was kinda hard because we were starting something so different. It is just hard being on your computer 24/7 for classes. Since school started this year I was still getting used to e-learning again, but now I am getting the hang of it and I really like it.
  • Exciting- The Day I Turned 16

    Exciting- The Day I Turned 16

    This was a great day. OMG! It was the day my brother and I turned 16! We celebrate a little differently this year because of the pandemic. My sister and my parents surprised us with a car parade and it was great! My brother and I had so much fun because that's the most people we have seen since we have been in quarantine.
  • Focused at school

    Focused at school

    This year I have definitely been more focused because I know this year is a big year for college and I'm in harder classes. I also feel a lot more focused as I am doing school online at my house.
  • Being a leader on the ice

    Being a leader on the ice

    Every time I step on the ice or, I am at the rink or, at my house, I am always being a leader. When we have games I am always cheering on the bench and even when I'm playing. When I am on the bench I am always trying to spread positivity because that's what everyone needs. I've been doing this a lot more this year because my team needs all the support that we can get so spreading positivity is the best thing for my team right now.
  • Talking to a college coach- Nervous

    Talking to a college coach- Nervous

    When I talk to college coaches I get as Nervous as taking a very big test. I recently had a talk with a college coach and I was pretty nervous at the begging, but when we got talking I felt great.
