Personality Project- Olivia R.








Family
My immediate family includes four people; my mom, Nancy, my dad, Kip, my brother, Evan, and me, Olivia. I’ve put three pictures on this slide to show some of my family’s traditions and also to show my family. The bottom picture is of my family. This picture was taken during Thanksgiving while we were up in Rhinelander at my uncle’s house. My dad’s side of the family is really close, so we go up to Rhinelander often, which I guess you could say is a tradition. The picture on the left is of my cousin, Robert, and me by a waterfall. I’m not exactly sure where this picture was taken but I know it was taken when we were camping. Every summer my family and my uncle Kirk’s family go camping way up north to camp. It’s so fun! The picture on the right was also taken when we were camping.

Inherited Features
I have many inherited features, but the one I get the most comments about is my mom’s laugh. A lot of my friends and family say I laugh and smile exactly like my mom. Another very visible feature is my height. I’m pretty tall which comes from my dad’s side of the family. My mom’s side is really, really short so I obviously don’t get any height from there. But my daddy is 6’1’’ so that’s where my height comes from. My hazel eyes come from my mommy. I have a spot of brown in one of my eyes, which comes from my dad. He has brown eyes.

Outer Appearance
Obviously, outer appearance is the part of you that everyone sees so most people spend a lot of time making themselves look pretty. Every morning I wake up and use my Chi straightener to straighten my hair. At night I take a shower and use Nexus shampoo and conditioner. And most of my clothes are from American Eagle, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Nike. All these things I have represented with a picture on my slide.

Inherited Traits
One of the most annoying inherited traits that I’ve gotten is my teeth. I’ve had my braces on for a year and a half and I have to keep them on until June. Both my parents needed braces. Another thing that’s kind of annoying but not as bad is I have to wear contacts. My dad has worn glasses/contacts his whole life. He is near-sighted and so am I. Another inherited trait is I use my right hand. Most people do so that’s not that unique. I’m sure that I’ve inherited more traits than just three from my family but that’s all I can think of for now.

Social Behavior
I guess I would say I am very social. I am on the Pewaukee select basketball team. This I represent by putting the picture of me playing basketball. Also, I have a picture of my birthday with my friends and my brother. After we ate cake we went bowling with even more people. It was a blast! In the bottom right corner I have a picture ofall my friends at homecoming. And in the upper left corner there’s a picture of cards. Playing cards is something I do all the time with my family and friends.

Talents, Skills, Abilities
I’ve done dance for 10 years, and I represent this in the picture in the left corner. This was taken by my mom when I had a performance downtown. I also have a picture of my basketball team in the upper right corner. This was taken at a party we had. Another thing I am representing is my love of music. The bottom picture is of music notes. I’ve been in choir most of the years of my life. I love singing!

Future Plans
I have a lot of future plans but the one that’s most important to me right now, is going to college. I want to go to UW Madison. I also want to get married and have a family. Along with that I would like to live in a huge house on the lake. But before I do all this, I want to move up north. I’ve always told everyone that as soon as I graduate from college, I’m moving up north and never moving back. Hayward, WI is where my cabin is and it is also my favorite place in the world. The picture in the bottom right corner is of a sunset near my cabin.

Eating Habits
My favorite restaurant of all time is Seester’s. It’s right by the beach. I go there almost every week. Even though I love Seester’s my favorite food is still ice cream. I have a picture of an ice cream sundae on my slide. I like a lot of food but there’s a lot of food I don’t like. Two things I really don’t like are Sushi and Salmon, but I only have a picture of Sushi.

Fears and Pet Peeves
Many of my fears are small, but my largest fear is of roller coasters. The summer going into 6th grade I went to Six Flags with my family. The very first roller coaster I rode was the Demon. When I got off I was so scared, I was surprised that I didn’t die. Along with this idea, I have a picture of an RIP. This represents death. I am so afraid of death; death among my family and myself dieing. The last picture I have on my slide is meant to represent something that annoys me. When people lie or cheat, I can not stand it.

Favorites
I have many ‘favorites’ but the things that rise above everything else, I’ve represented in my slide. The picture in the upper left corner shows how much I love Taylor Swift. She is my all time favorite singer, I have all her songs on my ipod. Below is a picture of Snoopy with a Christmas tree. Obviously this is showing my favorite holiday is Christmas. Next to that picture is a beautiful orange tree, this represents my favorite season; fall. Another thing I have represented in this slide is my friends. My favorite thing to do is be with my friends; they are so important to me and I love to be with them. Along with this I have a number 11. Eleven is my basketball number and it is also my favorite number.

Emotions & Feelings
When it comes to emotions and feelings, I would have to say my friends and family cause the most emotions. My brother and cousins can be really annoying and make me frustrated but they can also make me feel like the happiest person in the world. I’ve made so many good memories with them and I will always appreciate that. Another emotion about my family that I always seem to feel is excitement. My whole family lives way up north so anytime I’m going to see them, I get so excited. My friends, on the other hand, they can make me laugh and cry. I can be so mad at them one second but then the next second I can be so happy with them.

Life Experiences
My parents have done a really good job of exposing my brother and me to all different places. We’ve been to Colorado, the Caribbean, upper Michigan, upper Minnesota, Florida. Even though I’ve been so many places; still my favorite place in the world is Hayward, WI. I love being up north, and if my parents wouldn’t have taken me there or my family didn’t live there I don’t think I would love it so much. I hope that in the future I can have many more great life experiences.
