My
Life, As I Know It
Uvunga
Atiga Aaqti. Hello, My name is Samantha Becky Aaqti Brown. I was born
on April 5, 1989 at the Old Hospital in Kotzebue, Alaska. My proud parents
are Mary Jean Viveiros and Elmer Don Brown Sr. I was named after my
Uncle Sam and my Brother's boat, "Miss Becky". On April 8,
1989, I was introduced to my home 670 Caribou Drive. I went home to
three brothers and three sisters. So I am now my mother's seventh child
and my father's third.
I
went to the Kotzebue Elementary School for Pre-Kindergarten with Mrs.
Swenson. She was also my Kindergarten teacher. Mrs. Sampson was my first
grade teacher. My classmates in first grade are my best friends today.
My second grade teacher was Mrs. Westdahl. I always remembered her as
my Battle of the Books coach. Third grade wasn't too bad. My teacher
was always good at finding better ways to learn things. Her name was
Mrs. Unruh.
My
favorite memory is when I was about in fourth grade. I grew up in a
pretty "tight" neighborhood, everyone knew pretty much everyone.
In our back yard, we have a thicket of willows, maybe a little taller
than we were, and we used to hang out in there every day. Sometimes,
we would even play High School. These everyday people are now graduated,
or Seniors. I'd give anything to go back and live those days again.
My
favorite things to do are stay at home and hang out with family and
my boyfriend, Adrian. My favorite subject in school is Math, because
I know I am good at it. The color orange is my favorite, because it
just stands out and it's not so common. My favorite movie would have
to be the Little Rascals. My favorite song would have to be "I
feel Home" by OAR because when I start to think about how lame
and boring this town is the song reminds me that this place I live in,
is my home.
As
long as I can remember, I've always known Adrian Wilson. His father,
Claude, was a really great friend of my Uncle Augie Viveiros. In about
8th grade, I finally started to talk to Adrian. We got really close
towards the end of 8th grade. About early freshman year he finally asked
me out. Adrian has kept me out of trouble the past couple of years.
Now, I can't live with out him.
After
receiving my High School Diploma, I plan on going to college at the
University of Alaska Anchorage, and becoming a Registered Nurse. I also
plan on renting an appartment with Adrian and possibly Ezra. My Mom
will ship my car down to Anchorage, so I don't have to rent one. After
working and making some cash we'll get married, have a few kids. And
live life happy as can be. 12 more days till schools out!
