I started to learn at camp this summer, but I need to find a good set of balls to practice with. I could practice with tennis balls outside, but not when it’s snowy and freezing, and it’s hard to juggle tennis balls because they’re a little bigger than you’d want, and they’re bouncy.

It was loads of fun, and of course I'm continuing it in my senior year. I also tried out for Districts (a regional singing competition kind of thin… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Started off following the back-to-school bootcamp on Sparkteens.com, then just made it my own and got used to going to the gym with my mom.

The only exception to this will be books I need to buy for school, or books for my antique book collection.
I started teaching myself to play the guitar, and now I seem to just have all these song ideas bouncing around! I even got a little notebook that I’m using as my songwriting journal.
