So I thought I'd tell you a little bit more about my life.. not so much about me as a person, just my story.. Just cause J I'm bored.
My names Sarah Alice Mitchell and I was born on the 22nd of November 1988 in Canberra hospital. I grew up from pretty much since then 4WDing throughout Australia and going on isolated camping trips ranging from just weekends to a few months at a time. There’s really not many places in Australia I haven’t been, from random aboriginal towns out in central Australia up to the rainforests of cape york. Through this I developed a love for the outdoors and wildlife while it also made me studier than most girls I grew up with and am not scared of all that much. I suppose it also contributed to my appreciation of being alone and enjoying the simple things.
I have one older brother who’s always been a best friend of mine as we usually only had each other on those long trips in the car or out in the desert. He always treated me more like a brother than a sister; playing army men out the back of our house, blowing up letter boxes when he discovered home explosives and lighting body parts on fire with deodorant cans just cause it was the coolest thing ever. Wrestling with me and almost always making me cry when I was younger, but I always went back a few minutes later coz it was always the best of fun with him. Home has always been Canberra and I’ve lived in the same house almost all my life. Mums an architect and designed it just before I was born. We don’t have a back fence and our garden goes out into the bush behind our suburb. I’ve always loved this and it’s always been a place to escape from anything when I just want to be alone. My parents are both crazy skiers and used to go heliskiing back in the day so naturally me and my bro were introduced to little skis when we were 3 yrs old and went up to the snow every yr since. I went to the same Christian school all my life and made the most amazing friendships I could have whilst there. Over highschool we stopped going away as much because of time restraints as me and my brother got older. I started playing soccer in yr6 and played competitively up until yr 10 including school comps (which our school won every year). During yr8 I started figureskating lessons and practiced 3 times a week until I was soon competing in national comps. BMX started in college when some of my friends did it and I insisted they take me to the park and teach me to drop in. It slowly became a big part of my life, the culture, the people, everything.
I was always pretty good at art and used to get top grades in my work just cause I made them look so impressive :p I originally wanted to be an artist or a zoologist. Just cause I love all animals so much and find them fascinating. I also considered environmental science in my later years but decided id study human nutrition after yr12 and eventually be a sports nutritionist and work with athletes. I graduated college with a uai in the 80s and the act and surrounding areas art award. I went to the University of Canberra and stuck with human nutrition for 2 yrs before deciding the science was too much for me, I wouldn’t pursue it even if I finished and hated it too much to stick with it. I changed beginning of 2009 to secondary education in health and physical development. It’s a pretty awesome degree, still difficult but involves lots of practical work and sport. All the pe students are awesome and we all get along unlike in nutrition where I didn’t really fit in. Now unis much more like out of the movies; big messy res parties, swapping assignments to everyone last minute to help everyone out, uni sports teams, road trips together and crazy nights out. It’s like a little family.
Other than uni life has been pretty steady since college, worked at inski for 3 yrs and still do promo modelling, still ride when I can but had some big differences with the bmx scene after a few relationships, stopped firgureskating due to time demands but still travelled up to the snow every winter staying with mates who live up there and board all yr round rather than my parents. Had a few relationships but nothing that ever stuck. I’m still close friends with all but one of my exes though which says a lot about their character.
So here I am today in my same old room, finished my 1st semester for the year and about to try something new in life. In 2 weeks I’ll be moving up to the snow for the season, got a job with the resort there and will be staying with 3 others in our little apartment. I guess It’s just that time.. time for change. Hopefully it will be an amazing experience to add to my story...
