Elizabeth Grace Wilkie is my name, and I am a junior at Pickens County High School in Jasper, GA. Born in Savannah, GA, I grew up in a town called Richmond Hill not so far away. In Richmond Hill, I did ballet and tap, my older sister joined me sometimes taking classes. My family to Pickens County when I finished second grade due to financial issues, and a little while after we moved, my fourth sister was born.
As a kid, medical issues were a big problem I had. I had a lymph node in my neck that swelled up to the size of a golf ball that I had removed; I had scarlet fever a lot, and was overall sickly.
In Elementary School I remember having to be out a lot and going to hospitals in Atlanta to see why I was so skinny and only weighed about …show more content…
It was completely handwritten and 111 pages overall. It was called “Chains” and was a fictional story about kids who had these powers and all gathered around the main character named Cynthia, who was the guardian of the moon and the master of the Dragon Yang.
My older sister, who has bipolar disorder, one day, hid the book from me and it is forever lost, probably thrown away.
High School—the best years of your life as they are called by some people. I was experimenting with relationships since 7th grade, and I really prefer not to talk about them. However, I have learned a very important lesson about online dating: be very careful about it.
I was a member of the Marching Band my Freshman Year, and marched the Flute. However, due to bullying, I did quit the band after Marching Band was over and haven’t gone back. I was also a member of the Young Writers club that year, submitting several of my works to the Literary Magazine.
In December of my freshman year, I was diagnosed with yet another thing. Depression, Social Anxiety, and Agoraphobia…and I was put on medication.
I have learned to cope with my depression and anxiety, however it is really bad when I do get into places I do not feel safe in, and my Agoraphobia starts acting …show more content…
As a junior, I have started planning for my future. I joined the Journalism Staff and have been working on the Pickens High School 2016 Yearbook. During the second semester, I was promoted to an Assistant Editor and will be the Editor of the Yearbook for my Senior Year.
I have also been recently told I will be a chapter team member of the Pickens Chapter for TSA Senior year.
I have decided that I want to go to Chattahoochee Technical College for Academics and to get a minor in Environmental Technologies. I will then transfer to a college that offers Geology as a major.
In my free time, I self-study Japanese and am a member of the Japan-America Society of Georgia. I was also just recently accepted into the National Technical Honors Society.
I write with my friends I met from all over the world, paint, draw, clean, cook, take care of my pets, volunteer at the local animal shelter, go to the First Baptist Church of Jasper, take care of my little sisters, and enjoy my time growing
