My name is Samantha Elizabeth Seabury Gould-Ginesi (quite a mouth full). I am 16 years old and a junior at El Molino High School. I graduated from 8th grade in 2003 from Fort Ross Elementary School. I was born May 23, 1989, in San Francisco, California. I have three siblings. I have a brother; named Jeremy who is four and a half years older than me and I have two half sisters named Lori and Cindi who are twice my age. My parents; Sarah and Steve are divorced and I live with my mother. I live in Cazadero, California about an hour away from any big store. I live about five miles away from the beautiful Pacific Ocean.
I have a few hobbies. I am in a culinary class and we do catering events that I love to do. They are a lot of fun and build team work. I love to read, and I also like to do history reenactment. I got in to it because my mother works at Fort Ross State Historic Park. I have been a volunteer there almost my whole life and now work as a Park Aide at Fort Ross and at Salt Point State Park which has a campground and ocean recreation (fifteen minutes from Fort Ross) during my summer to earn money. To enter college they like you to have two years of a high school language. I chose to take Russian because it is an interesting language and my mom started to take it because she interacts with many Russians and Ukrainians at her job. In college I am hoping to pursue a career in International Relations. It has caught my interest because I love interacting with other countries and learning about their culture, how it affects the government and how they live today. I would also love to travel. I have not been outside the United States. At the moment these are my life goals.
