Hello there, my name is Brittney Dunning! I'm 18 years old and I hail from Orlando, Florida. It's a pretty decent town, considering there's some pretty sweet theme parks there; like Universal- which now has the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! There's also Sea World, Wonder Works, and much more if you like exploring your surroundings; and if you don't like theme parks or anything in that scene, there's some really nice parks, movie theaters, bowling, golfing, and even a mall. My town is pretty entertaining for most people.
I was born in Savannah, Georgia and I lived there for about three and a half years, then after that I moved to North Carolina where my family and I lived for maybe two years. Finally moving to Orlando we bought a house in Apopka so I could attend a good middle and high school , with the chance to make some good friends. Luckily I did, and I thank my parents for that. Since I've been a resident in the Orlando area I've included myself in numerous activities to keep myself occupied. I've done cross country, karate, flute, guitar, art, and I also maintained a spot in my high school National Art Honor Society in my junior year. I love sports, yes, football is up there on my list. Ironically though, I don't have like a team that I root for. I just like to see whose playing and who wins/loses. Yes, i know, I'm weird.
As you may have heard in class, I'm a very accident-prone person. I've broken all my fingers and hurt my knee and my ribs and other fun stuff. I won't go into depth with everything but just to skim the surface here.. I did karate and I liked to sparr all the kids in my group and we were required to wear all this padding and stuff to keep us safe, and I was aiming to punch and the way I punched, it broke my index finger. Yes, it was very painful. Then, probably right after that finger healed up I was learning how to do kicks while in mid-air and..well, let's just say it was a bad landing. No, a TERRIBLE landing and when I fell I stuck my hand out as a reflex to catch myself and there went my thumb. Yeah.. I need to be in a plastic bubble. However, as of now I haven't broken anything since I damaged my knee because if I got hurt one more time I wouldn't be able to run again, and that scared me more than anything.
Changing the subject.. I'm a very outgoing person and I love meeting new people and I'm pretty friendly. I get really shy though when I'm placed in classrooms with no one that I know and sometimes I get a little socially awkward, but I usually come out of it. I love making new friends because it enables you to step out of your comfort zone and find people who may have the same interests as you. I'm always up for anything and I like being able to have a good time with friends and enjoying the fresh air. That concludes now what I have to say about myself, considering I don't really like to talk about myself that much, but thanks for reading and I look forward to reading what everyone else has to say!
Hey Brittney! You're so lucky that you live in Orlando! There are so many things you can do there! I love theme parks! We should go to Universal one weekend. Georgia and North Carolina seem like really pretty places to live. I see you’ve broken quite a bit of bones; you need to take it easy this summer with your knee if you want to run for FGCU’s cross country team in the fall. I know you’ll do well! I’m really glad that you’re my roommate because I was kind of scared that I wouldn’t like my roommates or my roommates wouldn’t like me. It turns out that you’re a really nice person and I’m glad that I met you. I can’t wait to see what new adventures we have together with the rest of our roommates!
ReplyDeleteHey Brittney, nice to meet you. Seems like we have a lot in common with all of the places you’ve lived - my dad's side of the family is from Georgia and my aunt lives in Kissimmee. I'm actually pretty jealous you live Orlando, though. You're so close to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter – it looks incredible. And I totally understand where you are coming from with your comment about meeting new people. It’s good to know someone else feels the same way I do. Anyway, good luck with the class and have a great time with the rest of this program.
ReplyDeleteHello Brittney, Its awesome to have met you. Before I say how awesome you are I just want to say I am to accident prone so you are definatly not alone. Its awesome that you live in Orlando that means we live 45 minutes from eachother. It seems like you have done many activitys and keep very healthy. I to try to stay active and I do plan on trying to get into some teams here on campus. I would love to hang out with you and get to know you some more because we seem to have alot in common.
