Hi, my name is Candra McCoy. I am 16 years old. I was born on June 18, 1993 at Glen Cove Hospital. I am currently a junior at Glen Cove High School. I am an AP/honor student, active member of DECA and Editor-in-Chief of my school's newspaper. My favorite subjects in school are Math, Mandarin Chinese and Social Studies. When I am older I hope to pursue a career in Psychology. My family is a very important factor of my life. I have a 1 year old sister named Brooke and a 23 year old brother named Angel. I am of Puerto Rican, African American and Welsh heritage. I have a small immediate family, while my extended family is very large.
I participate in three varsity sports: cross country, basketball and spring track. My favorite of the three is spring track because it’s exhilarating. In my track career, I have won several medals and I hope to win many more this year.
In my spare time, I love to read, draw, and watch movies. My favorite authors are Stephenie Meyer, Laurie Halse Anderson, and Tamara Summers. My favorite movies are Percy Jackson and the Olympians, A Walk to Remember and The Notebook. I also enjoy photography. My favorite season is spring because I love going outside, taking pictures and hanging out with friends. My favorite foods are Chinese, Spanish and Italian. I also love soup!
In the fall, I held my first job at Bayville Scream Park. I worked in the clown house and my stage name was "the Joker”. I had a great time hanging out with friends and scaring all the customers. I'll be starting drivers Ed this fall and I can't wait to start driving. "Look out all you people on the sidewalk, Candra's coming through!"
I've traveled to various places in the US. I've also traveled internationally to places like: Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Cayman Islands, Barbados, Mexico and my favorite Bermuda. I am so excited to be going to France, Spain and Italy this summer. I can't wait to create memories that will last a lifetime. Europe is going to be so exciting and hopefully the beginning of new friendships.
