All About Me Jill Cannizzo
What I Like… London, England Feeding pigeons at San Marco in Venice, Italy This symbol is found in every subway/ “tube” in London! I love, love, love that I’m from Germany. German was my first language, and I like having this unique trait. The great thing about being from Germany is that I can travel a lot when I visit my family. I’ve been to a lot of different countries and I love learning about different cultures. In London the subway is called the “tube!”
What I Like… Going on a run after a stressful day is a really great thing. I like to run the loop around my college campus because I get to be outside and enjoy the beautiful sights of Boone. When I run I feel like I’m having a moment to myself where I can think and let any worries I have escape through me. I imagine my worries traveling through my legs and leaving with each step I take. Running while the sun sets is my favorite because the sky is warm and inviting and it’s cool outside. Enjoying the cool, smooth, creaminess of ice cream is something I like a lot. The best ice cream I ever had was in Venice, Italy. In Italy ice cream is called ‘gelato’. It comes in so many delicious flavors, like green apple and mango. Laughing out loud for a good, long while is revitalizing. When I’m laughing I remember that it’s ok not to be serious sometimes. I especially love being with my best friend Mary Kate, because when we’re together we always laugh. I try to laugh as often as possible.
What I Look Like… I have long golden hair that is naturally curly, but can easily be straightened. When I was little my hair was as white as snow! I like all the different things I can do with my hair, especially being able to put it up in a ponytail when I’m lazy or when I want it out of my face. My eyes are the color of aquamarine and sparkle every now and then. I love the color of my eyes because it’s the same as my birthstone! I have an average figure. Sometimes I hate being average, but all I have to do is think about all of the wonderful things an average figure can do and then I feel much better. I’m not too tall or too short for certain clothes and I can easily do all the athletic things I like to do, like run and play volleyball. Being average is actually really great! Smiling is something you will always see me doing. I love laughing and smiling because it makes me feel joyful and a little silly, and who wouldn’t want to feel that way! I like my smile because I have never had braces. I like this because my teeth aren’t perfectly straight, but they’re not really crooked either. I hope by smiling I pass cheerfulness on to other people .
What I Dislike… I think mushroomsareutterly disgusting.Mushrooms smell bad,tastebad, and have a yucky, mushy texture. I don’t understand why anyone would want toeat fungus! I’m not a Gross!!! very picky eater, but mushrooms are the one food I can’t stand no matter what. Yuck!!!
What I Dislike… I love yogurt, but I get disgusted when there are pieces of fruit in it. Nothing makes me feel queasier than eating smooth, creamy yogurt and then feeling the sliminess of a mushy strawberry or cherry. Yuck! That’s why I prefer flavors like vanilla, where there are no added fruit bits. I can’t stand it when I haven’t gotten enough sleep. Not only do I feel weary all day long, but I get crabby and act irritable towards people even when they haven’t done anything wrong. I love getting at least eight hours of sleep a night! My family lives very far away. My dad and brother live in Las Vegas, Nevada. It takes five hours to get there by plane! One set of my grandparents lives near New York City, and the other set lives in Germany! I don’t like it that I can’t drive home on the weekends to see them. I only get to visit them once or twice a year.
How I Act… I like to be active as often as possible. I enjoy being athletic by going running, playing volleyball, swimming, or just doing something like hiking a trail. If I’m supposed to be somewhere at a certain time, you can count on me being there a few minutes early. My dad was in the military for a very long time, and I learned to always be on time from him. Being punctual is a habit for me…I can’t help it! I consider myself to be fairly quirky. I like to joke around a lot, and often do goofy things around my friends to make them laugh. I think people have a much better time when things aren’t too serious; that’s why I like to be silly a lot. I do a lot of different things, but whatever it is I’m doing, I’m usually very focused. If I set my mind to something, I’m determined to do it the best way that I can. I don’t just do the minimum, I give it my all!
What You Should KnowAbout Me… Because my family lives all over the place, I fly a lot. I made a list of the number of airports I’ve landed in, and so far that number is 29! My favorite airports are small and easy to navigate around. There’s nothing that frustrates me more than having to run around an airport trying to find the right terminal. I have two brothers who are complete opposites, but who I consider my two favorite people in the whole world. Phillip is 15 and Jan is 23. Phillip is very silly and outgoing, while Jan is more serious and reserved. I love that they’re both so different, yet we all get along so well when we’re together. Phillip Jan
What You Should KnowAbout Me… From 4th to 8th grade I was on a demonstration jump rope team for the American Heart Association. My team was called ‘Footloose’ and we used to leave school early to put on shows for other schools. By being a part of the team I learned a lot of cool tricks; like jump roping on my bottom! I have read all seven Harry Potter books, and consider them some of my favorite books of all time. I love that Harry Potter books can be enjoyed by all ages. Whenever I read a Harry Potter book I get lost in the suspense of the story and can’t put the book down for hours!
