First Person Bio - About Me:
Hi! My name is Kate Graham. My story has always been a ride. Constantly I feel as if I'm living in a movie; the protagonist in my own comedy show. From falling on my face in front of my principal then giving a thumbs up, to spraying too much "Ariana Grande" perfume on myself after going on a field trip to the trash center trying to cover it up for a meeting in student services; my life is constantly an interest. At one point I decided I could either grieve about my life or be entertained about it and embrace it. My freshman year I started to embrace my weirdness. Love it or hate it, I'm me and I'm happy with me. Love it or hate it, here's some of my story.
I am currently a student at New Technology High School. Some interests of mine include writing, music, and psychology. I've lived in Napa, California all my life. I love traveling, however; whenever I come back to Napa it truly feels like home. Napa to me is as beautiful as the world-renowned European cities. As it is becoming more and more of a touristy city I truly believe that it was a hidden gem that is slowly being discovered. Loving Napa, the place where I live; you might get the impression that I don't like traveling. Although there's a sense of security in Napa for me, I find great joy in traveling (especially to Europe). I still remember when I was 7 years old how many possibilities opened to me when I realized how big the world was in my TFK atlas. There's so much more to explore. To know that there were places like Napa was mind blowing. When I was 7 years old I had dreams to travel to Europe. Then, I was given the extraordinary opportunity to visit family in Norway with my mom when I was 13, and go by myself when I was 14. Though I don't do it as much as I like yet, traveling has become a big part of who I am and my life's culture.
So, this website is supposed to be based around academics.I have many academic goals. I plan to receive a 4.0 GPA and be involved in extra curriculars all through high school. After graduating high school, I want to attend BYU and get my BA in Psychology. After BYU, I will take a year to complete my masters with Capella University online while working. And after Capella, I'd like to get my Psy.d at Pepperdine University. After all that schooling, I will complete a year internship (hopefully at John Hopkins or Stanford), get a job, and eventually open up my own practice focused on anxiety, depression, and family therapy.
I love academics, music, writing, psychology, service, theology, and so much more. Oh and I hate sports. Don't let any ball near me, it will go badly.
All tied in a bow; after getting to know me I'm a person you're bound to remember. If anything, I am one of a kind.
Hope you enjoy my blog!! Any questions or comments feel free to reach out using the form on my contact page.
