Hi everybody! My name is Courtenay Johnson!
I was born in Jacksonville, Florida. I am fifteen years
old and I am the fifth of sixth children in my family. My second oldest
brother, Adrian, is one my best friends. We do everything together from
going to Orlando to simply going out to dinner. The youngest in my family is
Jamison. He is eighteen months younger than I am. My grandparents
unfortunately died before I was born, but I have two uncles on my mother’s
side that I have never met.
My father is a dentist in Flagler Beach and my mother is a
house wife. I love them both very much. My parents are very supportive of my
decisions, but they always put in their own insight on the situation. What
kind of parents would they be if they didn’t?
My school life is most excellent. I make good grades and I
have a lot of friends that I cherish and love. I have always been very
determined to be the best and to get the results I want and need. In fact,
in May, 2007 I weighed over 300 pounds. With hard work and a boat-load of
support from my friends and family I lost 110 pounds in a little over a
year. My parents say I’m hardly recognizable.
I have recently been chosen to study abroad for one year
in Finland and I’m soooo excited! I chose to be an exchange student because
I want to experience a new culture, learn a new language and learn the ways
of the people I do not know.
I cant wait to meet everyone in Finland and build new
friendships!!! |
