Dear Mr.

Anderson,

My name is Emma Abramson and I’m twelve years old. Here’s a little blur
about my life, hope you enjoy!

Arlington is my home, I was born and raised here. I attended Long Branch
Elementary School for my first six years of education, and now I’ve been at
Thomas Jefferson for two. I have a twin brother (Matthew Abramson), two
amazing parents, and Boomer, my four year old golden retriever. The five of
us always have fun together, and the memories are endless.

My family always seeks adventure. Adventure, for us, is traveling. We’ve

been to Mexico, London, Barcelona, Italy, France, and many states in the
U.S. In Italy, I got to see the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and The Leaning
Tower of Pisa. Matthew and I spent our 10th birthday in London. I finally got
to put my Spainish in use when I visited Barcelona in 2018. I went surfing in
Southern France, and went halfway up the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Every year,
we visit Steamboat, Colorado and go skiing. I almost have the whole
mountain memorized. We’ve seen so many historical figures outside of the
U.S, and I can’t wait to see more.

Another special place in my heart, is our family’s river house in the

Northern Neck. It’s my favorite place in the whole wide world. Every
summer, we drive down with our grandparents, other family, and friends.
We fish, tube, waterski, eat crabs, paddleboard, kayak, you name it. My
whole childhood was in that house, and all of the memories and laughs
hang upon the walls.

Anyone who knows me, knows that my favorite season is Fall, or as I call
it, soccer season. Soccer has been apart of my life for about nine years. I
was three years old when I joined my first rec team. Ever since that day, I
knew soccer was going to be my sport. I’m on the top team for Arlington
U14 girls, but it wasn’t always this way. In May 2015, I tried out for Arlington
Soccer Association for the very first time. I made Blue, which is the third
best team in the league. I practiced hard, but in 2016, I made Blue again.
The following year I made Blue, ​again. ​I was so determined to move up, that
I practiced almost everyday. I would train with my parents, my private
soccer coach, even by myself sometimes. In 2018, I ​finally m​ ade white, the
second best team. I guested up a lot with the red team (the #1 team), and
knew I fit in well with them. In May 2019, I made the top team and it’s been
great. I’ve made many amazing friends, and hope to continue playing
soccer throughout highschool.

These are the highlights of my life so far. There are so many things that
are going to happen in my life, but this is just the start of so many
memories. I’m so excited or 7th grade and can’t wait for more fun.
