Abby

Hi, my nickname is Crabby Abby, but I prefer to be called my real name Abigail Leanne Harrop. I am eighteen years old and my birthday is November 26^th, 1989, I was born at Alton Memorial Hospital but all my siblings were born at St. Joseph’s Hospital. I guess I was just the odd ball in the family. My mom says I was the easiest one to be born although my mom and I could have died during my birth but luckily we both survived.

My biological parents are Kent Harrop and Kelly Martin. Since my parents got a divorce I have two more parents who are Sam Martin and Donna Harrop. I have six siblings, three sisters and three brothers. They’re names are Paul Martin, Faith Martin, Veronica Harrop, Randy Harrop, Heather Wood, and Josh Harrop. I also have four dogs and The dog’s names are Titus, Daisy Mae, Beth and Daisy. My grandparents are caring, loving people they’re names are John Harrop, Margaret Harrop, Lois Zimmerman, Samuel Martin Sr., & Maxine Martin. My best friends are Ashley Perkins, Nikki Smith, Allen Kutter, & Precious Hart

My favorite things to do during free time, are play softball, play on computer, and go shopping. My hobbies are playing softball, going shopping, spending money, and singing. I always wanted to be a singer but my brothers always said I stunk at it. So I stopped thinking I could be one. Then when I got into the sixth grade they have choir so I decided to join so I did then I came out of my stage fright and started to sing in front of my friends and they said I was pretty good. So I started thinking my brothers could just be saying that cause they’re my brothers and they don’t want me to have some pride in myself. One time last summer I was practicing softball and my coach was tossing the ball to each person. When he got to me he threw it a little to hard and it smacked me right in my right arm that hurt for a while but by the time of the game I was all right.

The schools I have attended are Meadowbrook Elementary, Sixth Grade Center, & Wilbur Trimpe Middle School.  I graduated from Civic Memorial High School. Teachers at Bethalto are great they cover practically every subject they’re supposed to.  People say I am lucky because I have only had to go to four different schools. My favorite subject is Math because I really like my math teacher and she does really fun stuff with us. My future plan is to go to college and get masters and a degree to become an excellent lawyer.

I accepted Christ as my Savior in May 1998.  I  use to attend Church at First Southern Baptist Church of Meadowbrook but right now I go with different friends of mine.  I work almost every Sunday.
