A Little About Me

My name is Paige Wilds. I was born in Muskegon, Michigan which is about 20 minutes away from Grand Haven. Grand Haven is where I grew up all my life. Its right on the beach of Lake Michigan and is where I spend a lot of my time in the summer. The only bad thing about living on the beach is having to deal with all the tourist that come along and take up space. It gets very frustrating to deal with and somewhat annoying. I graduated from Grand Haven High School this past spring with athletic honors and over 430 classmates.


I have one brother who just turned 20 this past summer. His name is Bishop and he’s like my best friend. Most siblings do not get along for one reason or another however, our relationship is very different. We hardly ever fight and when we do its usually because we take each others basketball shorts or shoes. Those fights don’t last long at all. I know he always has my back no matter what. For as far back as I can remember we’ve always been the way we are today. I mean we’ve had a couple rough patches but we always mended them together. As well as my friend I like to think of him as one of my coaches as well. This is because ever since I was old enough to understand how to play basketball and soccer he’s pushed me to become a better athlete. Most of the time we’d play against each other or he’d rebound for me and sometimes worked out together. I like it when we played 1 on 1 because I always played my hardest then because then I'd get bragging rights. He made it so I wouldn’t be afraid of anything whenever I played and he’d also invite me to play with his friends who just happened to be guys. He’s been there for me all my life and he means a lot to me. Along with my brother being a huge part in my life, my mom is as well. I could talk about her all day about everything she’s done for me but I don’t know if anyone would appreciate that except her. Her name is Tami and she is ultimately my Best friend. I can turn to her for anything I need. She’s always there for me to support me, push me and guide me in the right path. She is the reason I am the way I am today. Everything I do or say is because of her. I consider myself very lucky to have a mom like her because I know some children don’t even have parents nonetheless have one who’s as special to me as she is. I love her and I would be completely lost without her.

Like I mentioned before I love playing basketball. I used to play volleyball and soccer and run cross country/track. I gave all the sports up so I could focus completely on basketball. I’ve played since as far back as I can remember and played year round. I’ve had four knee surgeries on my right knee and an elbow surgery as well all from playing sports. Four of them are from basketball. Graduating from high school all my hard work paid off because I accomplished my goal of getting a scholarship to play in college. In my free time besides being active in sports, I like to listen to music, hangout with friends, run and do anything artistic. (draw, paint sculpt, exc.)

I’m not a huge fan of reading but if I do find a good book then I will have no trouble reading it. I do like to write for the most part depending on what the subject is about. I believe a lot of thoughts and feelings of the writing come out in the way they write. it’s a way of expression. Whenever im upset about something I usually will right about it in some way. Most of the times I write poems to express the way im feeling.
