This is a picture of me I took of myself when I was going to the mall with my friends. The picture next to it is of my dogs.

Hello, I am Brooke Polomsky. I live in California, but I was born in Illinois. Things I enjoy are art and soccer. Things that motivate me are cleaning and organizing. Something I want to share with others is that I have two dogs, Lucky and Payton. I also have an older sister in college at the University of Oregon.

One of my favorite memories I had in my life is moving to California. I used to live in Illinois for my whole life. When we moved, we went on a private jet. We got sandwiches from Subway and fun snacks. I was super nervous about moving and leaving my friends, family, and memories, but soon after, I got excited because I got a clean slate. I got to be a new me and make even more friends, but also have the same fun and silly girl. Something I learned from it is that I shouldn’t be sad that I’m leaving my hometown; I should be happy that I can visit on Christmas and Holidays. Then our family can visit more and vacation to California to see us. My family and I are very happy we moved, the weather is great, and we all can be a new us, and make even more friends.
