Part 1: I am Ashlyn Gadson. I was born in Park Ridge on October 28th, 2002. I have lived in the same house my entire life. I have one sister, one step sister, and one step brother. My family likes to go on vacations together. We have been to New York, The Grand Canyon, and Paris. Our most recent vacation was this summer. We went to Italy and Hungary. I play basketball, volleyball and run track. I have played basketball for 9 years, volleyball for 6 years and ran track for 3 years. I went to Windsor Elementary and South Middle School.

Part 3:

Perfect by Ed Sheehan is the song I chose for this because it reminds me of summer. It also brings back memories of sitting by my fire pit in my back yard with my friends and family. Just relaxing and enjoying the stars

Perfect

Part 3: Loop

Part 4:

This is me at 9:00 Tuesday night. I just got home from volleyball and I am doing my homework. I am usually doing homework at 9:00 during the week.

Part 6:

Malala Yousafzai

I admire Malala because she continues to fight for what she believes in even though it makes her a target. She took a bullet for her cause at a very young age and continues to fight for the right for women’s education around the world

Jk Rowling

JK Rowling inspires me because of her determination to do what she loves. Even when no one wanted to publish her books she kept writing. She also continued to send to publishers even after being rejected over and over.

Jazz Jennings

Jazz Jennings inspires me because she is an activist for people who can’t always speak their mind. She takes many threats aimed at her and her family and must simply brush it off. I don’t know many people who could do that.

Part:7

“The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.”- Alan W. Watts
