My Teens

I did a post the other day about my twenties well here's another more lighthearted post about my teenage years.

2006 (13)

So much changed this year. I started at a new school. I went to Europe twice (once on a 6 week athletics tour). There was a lot of changes and things happening.

2007 (14)

I was the "cheeky" trying to be cool kid in year 8. I think I tried to learn how to skate on this holiday in Inverloch. The long hair was a vibe though.

2008 (15)

In year 9 we had a learning journeys program where we all had to pick something to "learn". My "learning" was a bit of a cop out and I did footy umpiring coaching. Pictured is me doing fake "coaching" to my student umpire Jake.

2009 (16)

At the end of 2009 we went to the USA for the first time. This is me at TD Garden in Boston.

2010 (17)

The highlight of this year was going to China on a study tour. I probably shouldn't have been learning Chinese still because it was such a hard subject but I really enjoyed my classmates and wanted to go on this trip.

2011 (18)

I finished high school. I got a decent ATAR and was able to go to Melbourne University. I was proud of that. We went on a family holiday at the end of the year to Kingscliff.

2012 (19)

First year university involved a lot of parties and going out. I played footy in the U19s which I enjoyed a lot. I also clearly had really bad skin.
