Zoe

On November 8, 1996 I was born! I was born in Columbus, Ohio, at the Ohio State University Hospital. I was 7 pounds 2 ounces and 19 inches long. My mom and dad were so happy! They decided to name me Zoe, because it was a perfect name and it means life in Greek. When I was four days old I had hypothermia. Luckily the emergency room doctors were there! I spent five days in the hospital, but I was fine. I could not wait to go home to see my big brother, Simon.

I started to crawl at about 9 mouths. At 10 mouths I walked along furniture. At 11 mouths I started to walk on my own. Then when I was one and a half, I broke my leg. I wore a cast for two mouths. When I was two I lived in South Pasadena, CA for six mouths with mom, Dad and brother. I started preschool before I was three. I loved it, especially playing with the other kids and doing art projects. I went to North Broadway preschool. My family took a vacation in Washington D.C. And I took swimming lessons. It was fun being a toddler.

I started Kindergarten at age 5 at Indianola Informal Alternative Elementary school. Ms. Emily was my teacher. When I was 6 my brother, Simon, graduated from Indianola. I joined brownies. I got a violin and started to take lessons. I learned some fiddle music. Then at seven, I still played violin. My teacher was Miss. Shannon. We bought a house in Arizona. I moved from Ohio to Arizona. I went to a new school and made new friends. When I was nine I hade my first Christmas in Arizona, I also started to take gymnastic lessons! I loved gymnastics!

I can not wait to see what happens next.
