Introducing TJ

Hi, my name is TJ and I'm 11 years old.  Welcome to my blog - Growing up with TJ. 
In my blog I'll take you on a journey through my life, discussing what I enjoy, what I don't like, what I love, places I've been, people I've met and all the stuff in-between.
It is an exciting time for me as I'm starting secondary school in September.  I'm feeling nervous as I heard it's a strict school with uniform and stationary checks! However, I am looking forward to meeting new people.  I'm also lucky because a lot of my friends from primary school are going there. I can't wait to keep you updated on my journey through secondary school.

Here are some of the things I do in my spare time:

1) Athletics, I am a member of Halesowen Athletics Club and I train every Monday and Tuesday. 
My ambition is to be a world class sprinter.  My inspirations are Shelly-Ann Fraser, Dena Asher-Smith and Usain Bolt. I'm currently in training for a competition at the Dell stadium on the 26 of August.
 Good luck to me!!

2}I really enjoy cooking. Sometimes I go to cooking classes at the Kid s Kitchen in Digbeth where we cook fantastic dishes and desserts. As part of my summer school challenge, I have to cook a meal for my family, which I am looking forward to doing.  I also bake with my aunty, who is a fantastic cook.

I also love eating out, it’s a treat that me and my mother do together.

3}Drama. I am a member of the Young Rep drama group, which I attend every Saturday to learn new drama and theatre skills. Last year I participated in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe at the Crescent Theatre. This year I will be auditioning for a part in Alice in Wonderland.


4}Guitar. This summer I did my grade one exam and passed with a distinction. I'm hoping to do just as well in my grade two exam.


Goodbye for now.

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...

Quick update

Hey guys, just a quick note to let you know I have my braces on.  These are only temporary.  I'll be wearing them for about eight weeks before I get my actual brace fitted. What do you think?
