introduction: Morgan Hummel

Hi everyone, my name is Morgan Hummel. I am 18 years old, I was born and raised in Reno Nevada. I have 5 older brothers, I know crazy right, I’m definitely the baby of my family. I live with my mom, dad and my grandma. Four of my brothers are foster brothers that my parents raised, and only one is my blood sibling. All the boys are at least 10 years older than me and grew up racing dirt bikes. They are all moved out and have families of their own now, but this means my early childhood was spent away at the race track every weekend. Growing up with all those boys didn’t make for a normal childhood, but it gave me a strong love for the beautiful desert we live in and going fast. Since I was raised with older boys, I was a very shy little kid. I never wanted to sit on Santa’s lap and I only spoke to my family and very close friends. I was bullied a lot from about 4^th to 6^th grade (during the awkward chubby years we all have as kids), but this only made me a stronger person when it comes down to it. In the 6^th grade to break me out of my shell my parents let me start cheerleading with my best friend. This was the best thing to happen to me at the time. I cheered from ages 12 to 17 and enjoyed every minute of it. In middle school, I played volleyball as well in the 7^th and 8^th grade because cheer had broken me out of my shy stage. In high school I was crazy involved; I did varsity cheer all 4 years, swam for 2 years, was a freshmen mentor, did leadership and took stats for the wrestling team. Swimming was fun for me and made me want to become a lifeguard. So now I go to UNR and lifeguard for the city of Reno. I also recently got a job at the wolf shop to be more involved in school and make some extra money. I still love riding my dirt bike with my family and kayaking in the summers. My favorite color is yellow as you can tell by my mood board and I love sunflowers. Also, on my mood board are my 2 German shepherds they are my loves. Remington is 7 months old and is the first puppy I have ever raised. Willow is 3 and my uncle rescued her at 6 months old. He gave her to my mom as a Mother’s Day present and she quickly fell in love with me, so she became more of my present. My favorite food is also on the board: its pasta, but I love all Italian food. My aunt went to Italy a few years ago and took a cooking class there. When she got back, she knew how to make the most amazing food and I’ve been in love with Italian food ever since. So that’s a little bit about me and my life thank all for listening, I’ll see you in English!
