About Me

Hello!

My name is Lucy.

I am 17 years old and a senior in high school.

I have two siblings, my brother is Ben and my sister is Ro (her real name is Virginia Rose but she likes to be called Ro). We are homeschooled, and have been for our whole life!

This website is about my latest projects and things happening in my life, and it’s turned into a part of my high school homeschooling. The goal is to put up a post each week sharing about something I’ve done in my life lately and I answer a few questions about it. They are all categorized with a verb, depending on what it’s about.

To share a bit about me, I am a Catholic and I love the Lord and the Catholic Church! We go to a beautiful church that’s about 7 minutes from our house. We also have an Adoration chapel that’s a part of our parishes, that started up this year, which I’m very grateful for! Some of my favorite saints are Mother Mary (who is my confirmation saint), St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Carlo Acutis and Mother Teresa.

I also love horses! For about three years I took riding lessons. I also leased a couple of horses, first Chester, a pony/Arabian cross. He was a grumpy old man, but also a good teacher. After that I lease Elliot, an Arabian. He was a great horse, and we focused on dressage together. I also worked at the barn I rode at for a time, and at another barn for a time.

I was also a member of the United States Pony Club and got the D3 HM, D3 Dressage, D3 Flat and D2 jump ratings. I got a lot of great experience and opportunities being a part of that!

We’ve are a part of a local homeschool coop and this is our sixth year in it. Some of my favorite classes I’ve done through it has been drama, speech, art and food science. This year I’m in art, gym, baking and drama! Drama is my favorite- I’ve done it once before but our teacher is amazing and we’re working towards a two night performance of a collection of funny skits and things. I’ve gained a lot of skills being in front of people in drama, speech classes and performing in a skit based on Winnie the Pooh with two other friends last year!

We live on Lake Michigan and enjoy seeing the wildlife and how the lake changes at different times.

Currently I work at the fast food restaurant, Culver’s. I work front of the house.

Our parents are business owners. When I was younger I had two businesses at different times. A dog walking business called Lucy’s Leashes and a hat knitting business named The Fearless Filly. I really loved learning about money and business through managing them! For a while my dog walking business was donating a lot of money towards the Cheetah Conservation Fund- cheetahs are one of my favorite animals and I was very passionate in helping them because they’re endangered.

My dad travels a lot for his job and I’ve done a lot of traveling. Both with him on our Dad daughter trips and as a family. I love to travel! Some of my favorite places I’ve been is Yellowstone, Hawaii, Montreal, Mexico, Newport Rhode Island and Maine! There’s a lot more though too!

Another thing I like is piano and music. I’ve been taking piano lessons for many years! This past year for Christmas, I played “Linus and Lucy” for a recital. My siblings and I also recently joined a choir as a part of a homeschool group in the area! It’s been a neat experience, I’ve been enjoying it! We have our performance near the end of November.

So that’s a bit about me. Hopefully you will check back in often and there might be something new!

Thank you for reading, enjoy! 🙂
