Sam I Am

Hello everyone! Today I, Sam, am going to do a post about me. I am not on the blog quite as much. So, today I thought I would do a post about me. Enjoy!

So, my full name is Samantha Annette Parks. I go by Sam most of the time. I live with my mom and dog, Snowy in an apartment complex near Melodie's neighborhood. That's one of the reasons I'm not in a lot of posts, because I live a little farther away. However, I do see Morgan a lot. We take classes together, and I come over to play videogames with Lexi a lot.

 So, if you can't tell by the photo, I LOVE soccer. I have played since I was little, and I have kept it up even after my mom and I moved. I currently play on a traveling team, and I love it. It's very competitive, just like me.

I met Melodie when I first moved to Tennessee. My mom and I were living with my grandparents, who live just down the street from Melodie. I used to be at their house every day, because I didn't know anyone else. That's how I first got involved in this crazy photoshoot. You can read about it here (Melodie posted it as a Throwback Thursday). I was there when Melodie and Lexi were just making posts on Word documents (read about the history of the blog here).

Oh Lauren. She is a cute dog. I have a dog of my own (but I never take any pictures of him. I looked through albums of photos on my computer and I didn't have any that weren't blurry). His name is Snowy, and he is a Samoyed. He is pretty much a big puppy, which I love. We are both very active, and I take him with me when I come over to Melodie's so he can play in a bigger backyard with puppy friends. As I write this, he is lying by my feet, looking cute.

I used to take dance, but I've kinda given that up. I only take jazz class now, which means I see my friends a lot less than I used to. I still love dancing, but soccer is my first love.

This is a picture of my on my birthday. If you can't tell, I love the color lime green. I also like leopards, because they are fierce. My birthday is June 5th. My favorite movie is The Truman Show, because it's a good classic, and it's very thought-provoking. Comment below if you've ever seen that movie.

While all the TN Girls are my best friends, my closest friends are Lexi and Charlotte. Lexi and I hang out together all the time, and share a lot of the same interests. Charlotte and I have played soccer together since she moved here.

Here are some more recent pictures of me. I really enjoy spending time outside, and exploring. I'm not one to get dressed up. My favorite outfits are my athletic pants and soccer t-shirt from the second photo (it's black and white).

If I had to describe myself in 3 words, I would say I'm athletic, thoughtful and courageous. I love sports and being outside, but not so much being the center of attention. I like being part of a team, and having a group of close friends. I also am not afraid to take on new challenges.

Random fun fact: I was born in Georgia, but moved to Tennessee a few years ago. I love Georgia, but Tennessee is a lot of fun as well. I never had such close friends in my old home as I do now.

Something a lot of people don't know about me is that I like to write creative fiction. Nothing I've written has ever been amazing, and I don't usually finish many books, but I do it because I like to.

If I could go anywhere in the world, I would want to go to Boston (in the fall especially) or to Italy. I really enjoy the history behind Boston and its importance in the American Revolution. I also like Italy because I feel like I would enjoy touring all the different places and experiencing a different culture.

 So that is basically me. I hope to get to blog again soon, because this was really fun. I hope you all enjoyed learning a little bit more about me. Maybe Melodie and Morgan can make this into a series.

Comment below what little tidbit you enjoyed the most.
