My Practical English class is writing their Autobiography -- an Alphabetic Biography - This will be something they can put out at their graduations and think about what's important to their lives. Maybe it'll be one last chance for me to get to know them even better. As they write their autobiographies, I will write mine.
A is for Allison
Allison Ann is my second born. One of the first things I noticed about her is that she is very smiley, and she likes to snuggle. When the nurses and daddy took her away to bathe, she cried and cried until she was returned to momma. She hasn't liked to bathe ever since!
Allison is very flexible. Yesterday, she called out to me; "Mom look!" She was doing the splits up against the wall. You read that right. One foot was on the floor, and the other pointed to the ceiling. Crazy girl. Allie's dream is to go to the Olympics as a gymnast. Well, that has been what she has talked nonstop about since last summer when she met the neighbor-lady's granddaughter who is in gymnastics in Fargo. She and her cousin have set up a gym in her aunt's basement. They have beanbags and sleeping bags to cushion their falls.
Allison loves apple pie and Chicken Belden. She loves fashion, and her favorite store is Justice. My Allie is a dreamer. She is full of love. She is confident and won't let anyone bully anyone else in her presence. She has been rumored to stick up to the big kids on the playground. No one gets in her way. She sticks up for the underdog. She is my Allie.
