And That's My Family Story 

And that's my family story!

I was born at Box Hill Hospital on 9 December 2007. When mum and dad were going to the hospital for my birth, dad got into trouble from mum because he wanted another piece of toast before they left. My older brother, Max, was 1 and a half years old when I was born. I was only 6 weeks old when I went to childcare at the Alfred Hospital because my mum was doing her PhD there and dad was working full time. I loved it there, although I don’t actually remember it, I enjoy looking at the photos and reading the story books that the child care teachers made for me. 

When I was three years old I started tap, jazz and ballet dancing. I went to kinder at Brentwood Preschool where I liked to paint and play dress-ups. Back at home, my brother and I would enjoy (kind of) tackling each other to the ground even though it usually ended in tears. We also enjoyed going through a hole in the floor of Max’s bedroom to reach an under-the-house hangout that dad built. In 2014, our parents decided to knock down and rebuild our house. After a long 15 months of living in our grandparents house it was finally finished. Our family travelled around Australia in a camper trailer in 2016.  We did 20,000km in 3 months. Some of the highlights were seeing Uluru, going to Darwin, staying in Port Douglas and surfing in Noosa (we liked Noosa so much we're going back there in the September holidays!). It was very hot and got to 43 degrees Celsius in some places - even the road melted. In 2017, I started netball and still do it today. I love meeting new people and playing with friends. And that brings me here - I have been at Jells Park Primary School for 6 years, each year loving school more and more, making lifelong friends and learning new things.
