I was thinking about a way to explain to everyone that will read this that I am just an average girl. While I pondered a way to execute that in writing I realized something very interesting… I am not average.
I am Maddie Loss and I will be a junior this upcoming school year. I decided to compile a list of the parts of my life that essentially label me as an un-average person.
1. I have four siblings. Here’s the breakdown. One biological brother: Ian, 12. Three half siblings, the children of my dad and step mom: Donovan, 2, and the twins, Bella and Elsa, 2 months old as of June 25. All of them are awesome, but very annoying. They all have the most entertaining personalities ever and I do not know what I would do without them in my life.
2. I run, a lot. Odds are you have seen me running in circles around McFarland at one point or another. I am on the track and cross country team, and have been since my freshman year. I will gladly go on forever about the running aspect of my life, but to keep it short and sweet. I am holding on to the idea of accomplishing my dreams that are bigger than myself and this small town with all that I have, and thus throwing myself very ruthlessly into my training. I have to thank Mr. Bruce Fischer, for convincing me that my dreams are worth it.
3. I am a musician, I play the flute and have for a long time. I enjoy the people that are in the band, the music that we get to play, and the teachers. I do not like marching, but it’s tolerable I have no aspirations to continue beyond my high school career, but it keeps me very level headed in these crazy, not necessarily glory, days that are called high school.
4. I traveled to Italy last summer. I have an aunt that lives in northern Italy, 45 minutes from the border of Austria. I visited Verona, Venice, Trento, Milan, and Genoa, and various pit stops along the way. The best part was just the country in general, seeing my family, and the food, oh my, the food is amazing. The worst part was the hilly roads, I am very prone motion sickness and it was easily the worst part of the trip; that and the jet lag. I also ended up in more countries than planned due to a flight cancellation as well; including, Sweden, Switzerland, and Denmark.
5. I love to read. I will read any book that subtly sparks my interest. All genres crop up in the books that I have read, but my favorite are; fantasy, historical fiction, science fiction, fiction, non-fiction, and various news articles that capture my attention. All of the articles that I read are on the various news sites that I check on a day-to-day basis, inclusive of CNN, NBC, and National Geographic. I also love watching TED talks, they are all very interesting and amazing in someway or another.
If I spent more time thinking I would probably come up with a lot more reasons as to why I am a non-average girl who is currently living out her life in a small town in Wisconsin. But this is my start for now, I am positive that more things will be added in the upcoming years. But this is a snapshot of who I am currently, all things are subject to change.
