Accepted into Oxford
When I was in 6th grade, I never even wanted to go to Oxford. I was planning on going to Walker, my home school, until my mom told me to try out to see if I could make it in. When I made it in, I felt so special for being picked that I decided to try it out and go. If not, I could always go back to Walker. I have met so many great friends here and have been so successful that I’m glad I never went to Oxford. -
Adopted my dog Lily
After my family’s first dog, a golden retriever named Buster, died, we (or more specifically my mom) decided right away that we were going to get another dog. Two days later, we adopted a yellow lab named Lily. -
Learning to Drive
