What is your favorite quote or memory verse? "Love is giving someone the power to break your heart but trusting them not to."
Someone who inspires you? The main person in my life that inspires me would have to be my father. He is no longer here with me physically, but he is spiritually. I know what he would want for me and that would only be the best. So through everything that I do, I try to make him proud because I know he is looking over me and watching me.
What are your favorite hobbies or sports? Cheer leading, playing with my new puppy, mudding at Hogwaller, fishing, of course shopping, and brightening anyone's day in every way that I can.

Camels and a Lot of Them!

Fourth grade finds fun in everything they do with Mrs. Knutson. Last Thursday, they traveled not too far to see the most unusual pet brought to school to share with the class - camels. Every week a student from the class gets to be the Student of the Week. Students bring in their favorite foods, books, movies, and animals. Last week, Matthew Mead was the famed fourth grader of the week. For his special something about him, he brought in camels. The fourth graders couldn't get enough of these creatures and they didn't have to go far to find them, only the in the back field of St. John.
