Tweet Memoir


I hop into the boat. I grab the wake board, tighten my bindings and jump in. My dad tosses me the rope and my heart starts pounding. I shakily yell "hit it". I feel the pull and I'm up. All my worries fly behind me.

6 Word Memoirs


Off plane, warm breeze, tropical paradise.


Pointed toe, Rounded arm, graceful.


Walk in cabin see new faces.


Walk into classroom, all the same.

About Me

      My name is Claire Obrien and I was born on March 30th 2001. I was born in Eureka California and I currently live in San Francisco California with my dad and step mom and Trinidad California with my mom. I have a little sister named kaleigh and a twin brother named Patrick. In 2010 my parents got divorced, in 2011 my dad moved to San Francisco with my step mom and in 2013 my dad and step mom, Danielle got married. So half the time i live in Trinidad and attend trinidad school and the rest of the time I live 6 hours away in San Francisco.

My favorite sport is dance, mainly ballet. I have been pursuing ballet since I was only 5 years old with one of my best friends. Throughout that time I have gotten to know the art of ballet a lot better along with the art of other dances like: Latin, Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, Modern and  Contemporary. I don't do much other sports than dance, over the last 3 summers I have been able to learn how to water ski and wake board. I have been successful in both sports and enjoy doing then a lot. I have done a little of track but not much, I have recently signed up for a race.

My favorite subjects in school are language arts an history. I really like learning English and literature because I love to write stories and learn new things, I'm very good at writing long stories but recently Mr. Vack challenged me a lot with writing a 140 character memoir. I love to learn more and more things about writing and that's where I get loving to read from. I've always been a big bookworm. My favorite book is probably pride and  prejudice (by Jane Austen) because I absolutely love that time frame. Although I like that tome frame, In history I am really fascinated from about 1900 -1968 in British and American history, (don't even ask why) I love the show downtown abbey placed in Brittan at from 1930-1920  (not sure) I also love the history of wars and why they happened, my least favorite is probobly pre-colonial.

Music is a big part of my life from just listening to the radio to playing my flute, music has been there for me through the good and the bad times of my life.

My hopes and dreams for the future consist of a lot. Firstly I would like to get into Sacred heart high school or marine catholic in San Francisco. Then I would either like to go to UC Berkley and studie either history or American ligature or English. If I don't do that I would love to go to New York and get my business degree in fashion.
