[edit] Biography
[edit] Early Life
Jenny was born in mid-June, early on a Friday morning, having ashy brown hair and dark eyes. Her ancestry includes mainly German, Hungarian, and French blood.
Up until the time she was 7 years-old, she lived in Livonia, Michigan. She attended Bullman Preschool and later Randolph Elementary School [ kindergarten through second grade ], both in Livonia. In early January 1995, her family moved to Chihuahua, Mexico where they lived in the capital for 3 years. While she was there, she went to a private school for Mexicans and Americans called Colegio Americano de Chihuahua [ second grade through fifth grade ].
When Jenny was 10 years-old, her family moved back to Livonia. She was re-entered into the Livonia Public Schools system, and attended Taylor Elementary School for her last two years of primary education. After graduating from Taylor in 1999, she went on to Holmes Middle School where she hated her life for two years and got suspended after whipping up some nasty notes in her yearbook.
[edit] High School
From 2001 to 2005, Jenny went to Adlai E. Stevenson Highschool. She graduated with a 3.49 GPA, missing honors cords for Cum Laude by a 10th of a point. While attending SHS, she received Honor Roll twice, once in her Freshman year and again in her Sophomore year.
[edit] Softball
Jenny played baseball from the time she was 5 years old until she was 18. She started in t-ball, making her way up through coach pitch, to hardball, to slow pitch softball, finally ending with fast pitch softball. She has played many positions on the field including: pitcher, first base, third base, left field, center field, and right field.
For the four years that she attended Stevenson, she played as pitcher on both the junior varsity and varsity teams - earning her letter after completing her Junior year.
During her Junior and Senior years, she was the starting pitcher on the team. She finished off her final season with a 21-10 record, a Scholar Athlete award, the Most Improved award [ second year ], and she qualified for the Western Lakes All Division and received a medal for it.
She also played for a season in college for the NCAA Division III, but didn't get to play often as she did not have a steady riseball, a much needed throw in higher level softball. She quit when she broke her jaw after being at the receiving end of a line drive during a game in Appleton, Wisconsin.
[edit] Preferred Classes
[edit] Foods 1
Jenny entered this class in her senior year, along with Alexander William Haber [ known for short as Alex ]. They became quick friends after discovering their love for attempting to make exquisite baked goods while watching Iron Chef Bobby Flay on the television. Bobby Flay later became their hero, still much celebrated today. Jenny is the sole maintainer of the Bobby Flay fansite on Myspace ( [1] ). In this class, Jenny and Alex discovered an undying love for a squirt bottle that goes by the name of Soapy. Soapy now resides in Jenny's house in Livonia, where he is being cared for by Jenny's loving mother, Marie.
One day, the class was assigned the most difficult of tasks. The classic American, Apple Pie. Our chefs were hesitant in approaching this feat, seeing as they humiliated themselves at an earlier date with their sour cream cut out cookies and didn't want to repeat the disaster. After an hour of blood, sweat, and tears in the hot kitchen and a little help from their assistant Mona - Jenny and Alex retrieved from the oven the most beautiful apple pie in the world. It was so gorgeous that their teacher, Mrs. Gordon, decided she needed a picture of it being held by the three of them.
[edit] Website Administration and Design
In her last two years of highschool, Jenny attended career directed courses at the Livonia Career and Technical Center. She took Website I and II, being a part of the first ever Web II class to be held at the LCTC. Jenny has been designing web pages since the year 2000. She has been asked on multiple occasions to create sites for people and companies, and has also won a scholarship because of her mad skills with Adobe Photoshop and Windows Notepad.
[edit] Spanish
Jenny started Spanish I in her eigth grade year at Holmes. She continued with Spanish II through V when she got to highschool. Her last two years were her favourite as she had class with the same people who she had been with for the entire duration of her highschool Spanish experience. She also had an amazing teacher, whom everyone called Señora.
