Amazing Abigail Cookbook

We just bought the Amazing Abigail Cookbook which is a fundraiser for Abby Taylor from Edina who died after suffering for many months after having a horrible accident where her intestines were sucked out of her by a pool drain. It was very interesting to read the forward where they have an appreciation section which talks about how much support they received from so many in our community after this horrible accident. They also describe the goals of Abby’s Hope Charitable Foundation.

There is also a section that tells all about Abby’s short life of only seven years. It was very interesting to actually read about her and what type of person she was and the things that she enjoyed doing. Before reading this, I felt like I knew about her without really knowing her. Now, when I think of her or remember the night we all lit luminaries to honor her memory. I will remember the little girl that became more real to me when I read her life story in the Amazing Abigail Cookbook.

Favoirte book


Twilight

My favorite book of all time is Twilight by Stepenie Meyer which is part of the twilight saga. Twilight is about a girl named Bella who moves from bright and sunny Arizona to a small and gloomy town called Forks in Washington. When Bella arrives in Forks she immediately doesn’t like it because of its constant rain and dreary weather. Bella changes her opinion about Forks after she meets gorgeous and mysterious Edward Cullen. She falls hopelessly in love with him even though he is aloof with her. At first it seems like Edward was just an ordinary fun loving boy but she soon finds out that he has a dark and freighting secret. Edward is really a vampire and has been one since he was sixteen years old which unbelievably was back in the 1920’s.

Edward shows Bella a world that she never knew existed…the world of a good vampire. The adventures that they share starts the series of books that make is so I can’t wait for the next one to come out.

Good listener

Others say I am a good listener because when they come to me with their problems I always have an open ear. I love the satisfaction of helping people around me and making their lives easier. I think the time spent helping others will end up coming back to me when I need someone to listen to me. An example of when I was a good listener was when one of my friends was going through a tough time with her family, I made sure I was there for her and listened when she needed someone to talk to. I feel that everyone needs someone like this in their life.

Hall Of Fame

Ansley has had many great accomplishments in her life since she graduated from EHS in 2011. One of her greatest accomplishments was becoming a world renowned fashion designer. Ansley started her career at the fashion institute in New York City. Her first internship was with Vera Wang, who she luckily sat next to on a flight to London. Vera took Ansley under her wing and helped her become one of the world’s greatest designers for all levels of incomes. It was her ability to design for everyone that made her so popular. Ansley recently made a very generous donation to benefit our school. She now lives in New York City with her husband where she continues to expand her design philosophy by mentoring other young designers.
