Competition time!

On Sunday 26 of August, I went to the Dell stadium to compete in an athletic competition. My events were high jump and the 100m sprint.

This was the first time I had done high jump in a competition, ever!  I managed to jump  1metre 20, not bad for a first attempt.  Moving on to the 100 m sprint, I have competed in many sprints, so I was looking forward to this event.  I got off to a good start but for some annoying reason I slowed down, so this wasn't my best race.
My personal best in the 100 metres so far is 15.56 seconds, which I ran at Tipton on August 17th 2018. With determination and practice, I'm hoping to run 100 metres in 15 seconds within the next few months.

Braces!

Hey guys, It’s your girl TJC here and today I have some good news and bad news. The bad news is that I have to get four of my teeth extracted, this is because I have too many teeth in my mouth 😩.  So after I get my teeth extracted I am going to have braces fitted. I will have my retainers fitted on the 4 th of March 2019.   I have been on the waiting list for a very long time - about two years, so I’m happy to get the process started.  The good news is that my school has given me a Spring challenge. It’s a bunch of activities that have to be completed by the Easter half term break. We get to choose three activities. I will talk you through the three that I have chosen.  The three that I will be doing are: read an autobiography about someone who inspires me, the second one is to cook an entire meal for the family and the third one is to take some clothes to a clothes bank. The inspirational autobiography I have chosen to read is entitled “Hope in ...

congratulations

I know it's been a while but I've been busy settling into high school. Guess what guys? I've finally collected my grade one certificate. Hard work and dedication = Distinction! I've started guitar lessons at school with a guy called Tom, so far so good, hopefully, I'm on my way to a grade 2 distinction next year.  As long as I continue to practise, practise, practise as my mum keeps telling me. On Thursday my mom and I went to The Beefeater on Hagley Road  https://www.beefeater.co.uk/steak-restaurant/West-Midlands/Duck-Edgbaston.html I was so hungry I FORGOT to take a picture but here's a little photo of my plate, when I remembered to take a picture.  I had a chicken burger, chips and corn on the cob, which was delicious and for dessert, I had pancakes, sorry again, but it was so yummy I forgot to take a picture. On Friday I went to the Midlands Arts Centre in Edgbaston  https://macbirmingham.co.uk/courses  I was there to take...

Latest update

Hey guys Here's a quick update on what I've been up to. On Wednesday Sam called, you know the guy from CBBC.  Sam and another producer skyped me and my mum.  We went over my application they asked loads of questions and tested me on my knowledge of CBBC TV shows and celebrities. I did pretty well and got most of the questions right, so let's wait and see what happens next. On Friday I went back to Makerlab.  This week I drew sketches of trophies, which I will eventually create.  I used a Mac computer to make my sketches 3D and polish the sketches up a bit. During the next sessions I will add a background to my sketch.  It's a long process but, a very interesting one. I was given information about a website to look at called Fusion 360, which is similar to what I used during the session. Once I’ve had a good look at the Fusion 360 website I will fill you in. I'm so excited and looking forward to creating something speacial. Oh yeah, one last thing, you kn...
