All About Marissa

  1. I was born in Alexandria, VA on August 30, 2007. I lived there until I was two. When we lived in Alexandria, we lived in two apartments before moving to Sterling. My parents moved us because they heard the school district is great. When we moved to Sterling, my parents rented a townhouse and we lived there until I was eight. Now we are living in a house.

 

  1. I have a sister named Nicole, who is four years old so that makes us eight years apart. She basically does everything that I do, so I always have to be a good role model. An example is, is when I got my hair done at a salon. They washed my hair, trimmed it and parted it to the right. My sister of course had to get the same hairstyle. If the matching overalls were not enough that day, our hairstyle just finished the look. 
  1. I have always been interested in being active. I started playing sports when I was three in 2010. That’s when I started ballet and swimming. I quit ballet in 2011 because I never paid attention. When I got to level three in gymnastics, I decided to stop and start taekwondo and ice skating. At this point I was doing swimming, taekwondo, and ice skating in 2014. When I got into third grade in 2015, I stopped doing ice skating and swimming then continued with taekwondo and started soccer. In 2016 I got to a green belt in taekwondo, that is also the year I stopped the sport. Now in 2019, I’m still doing soccer. Do you see a pattern here?

 

  1. Not only do I love playing games that require physical activity, but I am also a very competitive CandyLand player. I even have a four ft. tall green gingerbread man from the game. I also love playing Monopoly, which is my favorite board game, and Mancala. If you don’t know what Mancala is then here’s how to play– https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjfajYNYfgc

 

  1. My most favorite breakfast is B.R.S. You probably don’t know what that means, well it means Bacon, Rice and Sausage. And all of it combined it crunchy and soft goodness and easily the best breakfast I’ve ever had. Although favorite lunch is grilled cheese. I love going to restaurants and ordering a grilled cheese because every restaurant makes a different kind of grilled cheese. With like a different cheese, or different bread. If there were a show on who could make the most creative and best-tasting grilled cheese, I’d definitely go to college to be a judge on that show. And for dinner, tilapia, seaweed, rice and mayonnaise. I wrap those other ingredients in the seaweed and it’s very delicious, I always have to go back for seconds and even thirds.

 

  1. I can’t stop singing in the shower. To be honest the shower is so boring, and you could think of this as adding something interesting while you are washing yourself to keep healthy. I even one time made a song in the shower called “Storm Clouds” but I only made 3 lines.

 

  1. When I was two years old I started going to King Solomon’s Christian Academy, as a preschool. I went there till I was four years old. Since my birthday is in late August, I would just be turning five when school started, so I had to take a quiz to see if I was smart enough to keep up with the things they would learn. And gratefully I passed, and went to Horizon Elementary school and was placed in Mrs. Toynbee’s kindergarten class. Then I moved to first grade and got Mrs. Gallihugh, second grade Mrs. Suefert, third grade Ms. Johnson. In fourth grade I got Miss Griffith, and 5th Mr. Patterson.  

 

  1. I have many stuffed animals but, there is only a couple that sleep in my room. Those are the Miller family, Doodle (the dad monkey), Mommy Ket (the mommy monkey), Little Ket (their daughter), and Chester (their adopted son). We also have Blankey, bunny, Little Marissa, Dolly, and Mr. Little Whites.

 

  1. I LOVE ROLLER COASTERS! I ride a variety of different roller coasters, starting from small rides for my sister to the biggest rides in the park with my dad. Recently, I went to Hershey Park for my birthday, and my dad and I stood in line for the fastest and tallest roller coaster in the Park. I was planning to go by myself because my dad was too scared. But when the lady asked me how many people I said one, and right when I was about to get on my dad said “make that two” so dramatically. And we both went on and it was awesome… for me.  After my dad got off the ride he had to go to the hospital because he hurt his back. I guess the roller coaster was too fast. But now he can never go on another roller coaster again.

 

  1. Lastly, I love making my own books, but mostly for illustration purposes. That’s why I thought making flip books would really suit me so I could have fun in communications this year. I hope you enjoy looking at my flip books, as much I did making them!

  1. Hey! I totally agree with the fact that sometimes siblings are annoying. I have three of them and they are all younger! its hard sometimes. I also am extremely competitive in anything i do. I think its a serious issue.

  2. Marissa,
    I learned so much about you through your post. I had no idea that you were a competitive Candy Land player, and I’ve never even heard of Mancala, so you taught me something new today. Thanks for the link. That was a great addition! I can’t wait to see some of your flipbooks. As you know, I’m not very talented in the artistic department, so I’m always amazed by artists like you!
    I know we’re going to have a great year in Communications!
    Thanks,
    Mrs. Sheridan

  3. I know I’ve already mentioned this to you, but I definitely understand your love for grilled cheese. Every person, every restaurant makes a different grilled cheese whether it’s a different type of bread, type of cheese or how it’s made.
    Do you also listen to music in the shower while singing? I have a specific playlist I play, songs that I know *most* of the lyrics to.

  4. I love how you still play with stuffed animals. Sometimes you just have to let the child in you shine. And I think the names are just so creative. I also love roller coasters.

  5. Hey Marissa!

    Being a competitive CandyLand player really brings me back to 1st grade, I don’t think I ever lost.
    Also, singing in the shower is by far the best place to sing. Like, the acoustics, the emptiness of the bathroom, just perfect. However, I can’t sing for the life of me.
