Howdy - Isabel Jenkins

Hey, Isabel here. Pretty much everyone calls me Isabel, seeing as that is my name. A few call me Isa or pronounce Isabel with some weird accent (namely Spanish teachers). But whatever floats your boat. 

Based on the previous posts you can probably guess how old I am, what my educational goals are, and where I go to school, so I won't bother taking up the space. Although honestly that last sentence took up way more space than just saying "I'm 16 and in the Liberal Arts Academy and aim for all A's yay!!!" but whatever.

My interests are ever-changing, but right now I like violin, tree climbing, and badminton. I love doing things outside, which is probably because I spend too much time inside. Speaking of which, one of my recommended time-wasters is http://thewikigame.com/ which sends you on Wikipedia scavenger hunts. I just played “Five Clicks to Jesus,” which drops you on a random page and gives you five clicks to try and reach Jesus. Fun times.

My family doesn’t usually take too many vacations, but we went to Sandestin, Florida this summer. I love the ocean, so I would be content with just staying on the beach – but the highlight of the trip was definitely parasailing. I’ll admit, I was expecting it to be a bit more thrilling, but the view was fantastic. Plus the guide took pretty pictures!

We got the Captain America parasail :)

I have spent way too much time contemplating which superpower I want, but still can't decide. As much as I want a power like time travel or elemental manipulation, it would probably lead to death and destruction and the plot of basically every superpower movie ever. So, I would probably pick a more practical and not-so-violent power. Maybe be able to understand a lot of languages, or pause time for a little bit, or feel refreshed after only a couple hours of sleep a night.

There are many things that "geek" me out, and one of them is acting. When I was younger, I had small roles in a few school plays and church shows but never thought much of it. I came across acting as a sort of random happenstance freshman year, and ended up performing in all 3 plays. I might not like giving speeches or presentations in class, but I love the feeling of being center stage. I also love Marvel movies, but that’s unrelated. Except for the whole "geek"ing part.

I'll stop since this is getting long. Granted, it’s still around 300 words shy of Anne’s post. ;)

Have a well-spent evening, Blue Devils...
