Stuff About Me - Kono

My name is Jessie Kono. I am 16 years old and have lived in Lexington my whole life :( But I would love to live out west in California, Washington, or Hawaii. Of course, Italy or Australia wouldn't be bad either. I plan to get all A's (it is a necessity for me), find the perfect major and college, score at least a 4 on all my AP tests, score high in my SAT and ACT tests, and basically survive the school year without breaking down. My personal goals include improving my cello playing skills so that I can get in an orchestra in New York (although I have to be 19 to actually get to go), run in track, possibly swimming, etc, etc.

I will get extremely hyper one moment and will be dead silent the next. There will be moments when I won't shut up or stop fidgeting or stop kicking my legs at the air and other annoying stuff but I am also semi-good at self-control.

The most meaningful moment of my summer was getting baptized :) I also learned how to surf (equally amazing!) And there was a wonderful morning in Kiawah Island where I got to see baby sea turtles.

If I could have a superpower it would definitely be extreme speed. I'm deathly afraid of heights (and falling) so flying is not an option, being invisible would require people bumping into you (a lot), and i see no purpose in super strength unless I had a sudden urge to pick up a truck with one hand.

Doodling and running for no apparent reason geeks me out (if you call that "geeking"). I will doodle on everything and most of them will turn out to become scribbles when I am agitated. I prefer running to walking  and will scold any of my friends who walk slower than 20 mph or somewhere in that range.

My favorite website is www.runnersworld.com  (currently).
