Alexandra BarefootInstructor Lynn RaymondUWRT 1102-E0212 January 2015Writing Prompt 1One of my more colorful relatives is my moms sister, and my aunt, Karen Gerringer. She is 65 years old, 50, very petite, and drives a smart car. She has short brown curly hair and brown eyes. She is single and has never been married. My aunt has achieved great success in her lifetime; she was accepted into the United States Navy, and became an officer. She later became the principle of an elementary school, and now teaches people how to be a principle. On a more personal note; my aunt Karen is a cat lover. Her first cats name was Bush Baby. He was grey and very mean, and eventually met his devastating end when he wandered into the cow pasture and was stomped on by a resident. She has a much nicer cat now named Scooter. Scooter is an orange tabby that my mom and I adopted, and gave to Karen for her birthday 10 years ago. Scooter is now 13, and is missing almost all of his teeth, but is still a very successful hunter. She also has a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Teddy who is scared of everything except for her. Last year Karen and Teddy had separate, but equally unfortunate accidents where she broke both of her wrists, and he broke his hip; they were a pretty pitiful duo.Karen is very strong minded, especially when it comes to the color pink which she hates. My grandmother told me that when Karen was 15 and away at summer camp she and my grandfather painted Karens entire bedroom pink. When she got home and saw the monstrosity she immediately had her brother take her to Lowes, bought new paint, and repainted the entire room. She is also a devout Red Soxs fan; last season she wore a long white Santa beard during every game for good luck. If you want to go on a trip Karen is the person to accompany you! She is a very experienced traveler; she has been to Africa, Alaska, Europe, and Dubai just to name a few! I think that she has traveling down to a science from how to pack, what air/cruise line to take, and the most efficient way to see everything on your list once you get there. She is one of the smartest, accomplished, and quirkiest people I know. She has truly lived life, and allows herself to evolve every day, finding new passions, and hobbies. If I can accomplish and see half of the things she has then I will be very blessed.
