About Me: I am so excited to be a part of People to People and traveling with all of you this summer! My name is Jamie and I live in East Northport. I was born on January 11, 1995. That makes me a freshman at St. Anthony’s High School in Huntington. I live with my mom, my 3 older sisters Brittany, Gabrielle, and Jennifer, and my younger brother Luke. My father passed away in 2001 from kidney cancer and it was definitely the most difficult part of my entire family’s lives. The loss of my father has made my family become much closer and has also pushed me to work that much harder in life. I hope to attend college in a city area and live in NYC when I am older. A lot of my family members have lived there and I love the diversity and freedom that you feel while walking through the streets. I have 27 cousins and I love being with my friends or just a big group of people, so this will be a good experience for me! I may come off shy, but I love to meet new people and love to have a good time!
Interests: I played for my schools JV volleyball team this year and it was a great experience. I also play soccer, basketball, lacrosse, and golf but I decided not to play for my school teams because it was hard with school work. I really enjoy drawing because it is something that you can do at any time and it is so relaxing. I also love listening to music! Some of my favorite artists are Lady Gaga, Lil Wayne, Vampire Weekend, Franz Ferdinand, and the Black Eyed Peas. I can’t go a week without Gossip Girl or my magazinesJ My favorite subjects are math and science and I really only enjoy reading mystery books by people like James Patterson, Lois Duncan, and Agatha Christie. School isn’t terrible but…I can’t wait for this summer!
