The Building Blocks of Gabbie!
Hello,
Welcome to my blog! My name is Gabbie Taschwer and I will be a senior at MHS next year. I love to spend time with my family outside as much as possible. I have one brother who's name is Sam. He enjoys playing soccer with his buddies. My mom's name is Lori and my dad's name is Jeff, they both are very outgoing individuals who love to be around people.  Together, my family shares an interest for a unique activity called show skiing. Show skiing is basically water skiing just with a twist. The shows consists of high risk acts that keep the audience on edge the whole time. We spend our whole summers dedicated to this sport, and we train in the off season as well. My job involves show skiing at the Tommy Bartlett Show in the Wisconsin Dells. Show skiing has allowed me to experience the world and the cultures within. I was fortunate enough to travel to China with one of the USA teams back in 2010 and 2012. Traveling to China made me open my eyes to how fortunate I am due to where I live and all that is provided for me.

Although show skiing makes up most of my life, I enjoy many other activities in my life. During the school months, I participate on the volleyball and soccer team. This past school year, both of my sports teams were fortunate enough to win regional championships. It was incredibly exciting to participate in those two games.

When it comes to school, I am a visual learner and benefit from hands-on activities which help me understand the information as well as possible. I enjoy science and math classes the most and find that I am challenged the most in my reading and writing classes. Even though I find myself challenged in those classes, I always try my best and have a determined mindset to achieve the best possible grades I can. After high school, I will be attending a four year college looking at careers in the medical field. I have been drawn towards pharmaceuticals, and I have developed an interest for UW Madison after several college visits. I am very eager to see what the future has in store for me!
