sorry this was supposed to be a 5 paragraph biography one of the paragraphs were deleted or something

On one cold day December afternoon was the first day I met my family. On December 7, 1995, three minutes after four during the day, in Anchorage, Alaska, I was born to Francis W. Ivanoff and Carla R. Nakarak Ivanoff. If I were born a boy, my mom would’ve called me Lewis, after my uncle Lewis Nakarak. I have two brothers, Earvin Michael and Francis Wesley Jr. and one sister, Allison Rose. I have lived in Unalakleet, Alaska, with my family all my life. Many of my family, friends, and relatives call me “Little Carla” since I look like my mom, “Ukiaq” as my Eskimo name, and “Audy”. My sister calls me “Ditters” like my mom calls her sister, Josephine Nakarak Lynch. My life has been adventurous with my outdoor activities, accidents, and family and friends.
Outdoor Activities are fun, exciting, and sometimes comical. When I was three years old, I finally learned how to ride a bike. It took my dad four to six days to teach me. I taught Cloei how to ride a bike the year after. At the age of eight, I first drove a four-wheeler for a long period of time. It was fun watching people walking and riding around town. My sister had let me drive the four-wheeler, so I’d know when she or somebody needs a ride or something. A couple years ago, Allison, Lena, and I were riding around approximately at 8:30 p.m. and we went onto the field. Allison did something that made us tip over and fall. Nobody was hurt, but all three of us were scared to death. Another amazing outdoor activity during the year of 2005 was my first year to attend Bible Camp. Many of my classmates had gone to Bible Camp the year. Both my years of Bible Camp have been GREAT! My last activity was my first year of Fallblast, in Golovin was a BLAST! It was my only chance and my Uncle Sam paid my way. My outdoor activities have been so comical and humorous.
Accidents are very painful, especially when it comes to stitches. Throughout my whole life I’ve gotten stitches three times. The first time I got stitches I was five years old. Garrett cooper was driving towards the corner of the road and my mom and dad wasn’t paying attention; we bumped into his car. The time I got stitches on my foot, I was eight years old. I was playing at the gym. One of the seams from the floor was sticking out. My foot slipped under it. When I felt the pain go up my leg I ran into the bathroom. After I fan into the bathroom, Rashawn came to see me. Somebody ran to get my sister and told my Uncle Sam. He got Tim Sagoonick to bring me to the clinic. I had to get three stitches on the bottom of my foot. As soon as it healed my mom took the stitches out. The year of 2005, my sister and I were biking around town. We were going to the playground and my foot slipped off the pedal and I hit something sharp off the seam of the school. Tera was outside her house and my sister was accompanying me towards her. Boyuck’s E.N.T. doctor, mike, helped Chris stitch my leg. It didn’t hurt, but my eyes were tearing up and I had a runny nose. All of my severe injuries have all happened before I turned nine years old.
In conclusion, my life has been so awesome especially when the activities I’ve
Done, the family and friends helping and playing with me, and my accidents that have happened to me all during my life. I hope the rest of my life is filled with many other fun activities. Accidents were not fun for me, so I hope I never get anymore of them. I hope I have many more family and friends to meet and for my loving life. My activities were full of amusement and arousement, I hope my life furnishes many blissful news and excitement.

My mother had already practiced with my siblings, so I was easier to have. It was a spring morning at Kotzebue hospital, that I was born. The parents I was born to are Minnie and
LeBron Ivanoff. I have one brother and one sister. Polarbear my dog is like a sibling to me. My life has been full of all my cousins born, traveling and favorites.
All my cousins are so fun and loving. Snow White was born first. Her parents are Shrek and Fiona. Chalaa was the next one in line. He was born October 10, 2002. Kani, Chalaas brother was born in 2004 from Dean and Treca Ivanoff. Charles Jade was born from Shrek and Rena. Kollin came to this world on June 4,2004. On January 25,2007 Jillian was born to Brenda and Jerry Ivanoff.
I have been to some awesome places in my life. My first trip out of state was when I was two years old. I went to Hawaii to see my grandparents. My next trip was to Seattle for my uncles wedding. I was the ring boy. Then I went to Phoenix to see my auntie Cinderella. That was when I was seven and a half. At nine I went to Disney World with my grandparents, brother and cousin Snow White. We had a lot of fun. I like traveling to different places.
My favorite things have happened all throughout my life. One of my favorites is going to Hawaii when I was two. I went with my family to go see my grandparents. Another favorite was when I went Orlando with my grandparents, brother and cousin Snow White. We went to the Disney Theme parks and we had a blast. After that I got a motorbike. I was amazed and surprised when I saw it in the garage. This is something I had wanted for a longtime. When I was four we got my dog Polarbear. When she got of the plane she peed for a longtime. Getting Polarbear was awesome! I had so much fun with my favorites and I hope my kids will too.
In conclusions my life has been full of exciting adventures with my family. My favorite was having my cousins born and growing up. The trip to Orlando was my favorite vacation. I had a lot of fun At the Disney Theme parks. I hope my future will be fun and exciting as it has been throughout my life.

On September 19,1996 I finally saw the person who endured kicking and morning sickness for nine long months. I loved her from the very start! My family consists of five girls (including who else but me) and two boys; one more prince is on the way. SO COOL! I’ve learned to think of others beside myself through watching my mom. Jut like my mom, Christmas is my favorite holiday out of all the others. At the age of three I had the urge to go to school. My lie has included many things such as my firsts, school and family events.
All my life I have been doing new things. For instance when I was four or five months I took my first steps and said my first words. Then, at the age of two I was potty trained and also read my first words. At three I broke my leg and dislocated my foot by tripping over a boot. At five years of age, I got my ears peered. I also lost my first tooth and went to my first Stickdance in Kaltag. When I was six, I taught myself how to ride a bike and cut my hair independently, I looked so funny! My first time I went knee boarding was in the summer of ’07. I hope I continue to try new things throughout my life.
On the previous page I told you how much I wanted to go to school. Thus, I was really happy on my first day of kindergarten. My teacher was Jamie Kachatag. My favorite teacher was Mrs. (Julie) Egli. She made learning fun. At the age of seven my teacher was Denise Thomas. She was good, but I wish I had Debbie Currier, she is so cool! Third grade was taught by Melissa Towered, but after the Jamboree, I moved to Altar to finish school there. Then in the forth grade I hade Mrs. (Hannah) Howard. There was a lice out-break and I had to shave my hair. So sad! I hope that will never happen ever again. I know there will be more school years ahead that I will have to prepare for.
My family has been through many situations together. At the age of two, my sister Jasmine was born on the third of December in 1998. About four years latter my sister Sleeping Beauty was born in April on the 23 in the year of 2002. When I was six my sisters and I received a bear. We named her Blu. Sadly eighteen months latter she died. My sister Bell also tried to teach me how to ride a four-wheeler, I still never learned how to ride that vehicle proficiently .I will never forget that horrid day when I found my gram with a broken hip. I cried all the time! When I was nine I went to Kaltag. I miss being there ALOT! A year latter my sister Bell left for M.E.H.S. I missed her so much. Thus, I was happy when she came back. I hope my family will have many more happenings in the near future.
My life has been…well…I can’t really describe it. I guess I would have to say that my life is nothing out of the ordinary. What I mean is that my life is just…uh what’s that word normal. When I grow up I want to make an impact on the world. Or do something that would make an even bigger stand for woman or Native Alaskans, by becoming a designer or secret agent. Hopefully, I will travel around the world. Why? Well I want to meet new people, try new things, and live life to its fullest.

One hot summer day, my mom was waiting to meet me. In Anchorage, I was born on July 1,1968 at 7:34 p.m. I was six lbs four ounces and nineteen and one half inches long. On June twenty-second, I was supposed to be born. Both of my parents hoped I was going to be born on my dad’s birthday, which was on June twenty- second. I had fun doing all my firsts, childhood activates, my favorites, and what my parents taught me.
All my firsts were so fun I have to tell you about them. When I was four years old, I bit Talon, and my great-grandma scolded me while I was daydreaming. My great- grandma was talking and I wasn’t listening to her. After she was done, I looked at her and said,” Knock- it- off- grandma.” Another first thing I did was when I joined Karate at seven years old. It was sort of fun and sort of hard. Mr. K was our teacher and one time he let us crawl under the lunch tables like a veteran. The best thing I did first was when I drove a plane, up the river, in the winter. It was so fun because I saw most of the land and all the cabins. I even got to use one of those helmets where you can talk to the pilot. The first time my family moved into my new house up the hill, I slept over at Abbie’s birthday party, while my family slept home. When I went to bible camp, I was ten years old. It was the first time I was away from home. The best part is when there were the activities. My firsts were so fun, I wish I could do them again.
My life has been full of whole bunch of different adventures. When I started E.C.E, I was very excited. My teacher was Marlene Haugen. She would make all the little kids drink all their milk, and then they would throw-up. It was sad. Then in 1999, Jayden, my brother was born. My mom has pictures of me holding him in the hospital. Jayden was so cute when he was a baby, but now, he is really annoying. I still love him though. Then Jewel came into this world. If she didn’t, I would be fighting with Jayden all the time. When I am sad, Tammy is always there to cheer me up. Jewel is an awesome, loving sister. Then, in kindergarten, I met Cinderella at the age of five. At first, we would just play with each other, and then we became best friends forever. I had a lot of fun when I was a kid, and I hope my children will too.
All my favorites were so fun, you will want to do them too. When I was one year old, I went to Old Women by snowmachine. Even though I don’t remember when I went there, my parents said I had an awesome time. I also had a lot of fun when I joined cheerleading. I’ve been in cheerleading for two years. I had the best time ever. The whole team won first place both years. Cinderella and I won the partner stunts are first year. When we went on the mat, some of the boys were whistling at us. It was kinda embarrassing. Then, I went to Golovin for Fall Blast. I had so much fun. The best part was when we would go to the church and sing. I love to sing to God. It was also my first time I went to Fall Blast. On July 11, I had my golden birthday. I was hoping that Renatta would be there. When I opened my presents, my parents told me to open the biggest one first. So I did, and when I did, out popped, Tinkerbell. I was so surprised, I just stood there. Then I hugged her. It was the best birthday ever. Lastly, is when I went to Disney Land. I had the best time ever. The best part was when we went to Sea World. There was this show were you would get wet by some guys dumping water on us. This one guy poured all the water on this teenager. It was so funny! All my favorites were so awesome, that I hope they will continue in my future.
I love my parents so much, that I couldn’t live without them. My parents helped me walk. Minnie Mouse, my cousin, kinda helped me by letting me hold her fingers. Also, I was potty trained by my mom and dad. I don’t really know what happened, but I was glad I was potty trained. On my seventh birthday, I got a trampoline and an inner tube. The morning of my seventh birthday, my dad opened the curtains and I saw my trampoline. I was so happy that I went to go jump with my pajamas still on, so did Dora and Spiterman. Then, the first time I learned how to cut my first fish, my mom taught my when I was eight years old. We were at my Uncle Vance’s cabin. Since then, it was kinda fun. I’ve been cutting a lot of fish. This year, I will probably cut a lot on fish again. I am so glad my parents helped my with all the things I needed to succeed in my life.
In conclusion, my life has been so awesome and fun. I am so thankful that my parents are around to make me a better person. Although I had a lot of favorites in my life, I think when I went to Disney Land was my most favorite. When I was younger, I had so much fun playing with Cinderella. The favorite adventure that I did first was when I drove a plane. I hope my life will stay full of good adventures.

It was one very cold winter day when my mom was waiting to have me. I had four people in my real family at the time. My two brothers, mom, and dad. I was originally from Anchorage, Ak. and moved to Unalakleet the day after I was born. We have three pets and live in Unalakleet, Ak. now. My life has had many exciting adventures like all my gifts, winter, and summer activities.
There are many exciting gifts in my life that are really cool. My most favorite gift is my four-wheeler because I use it all the time and it’s so fun to ride. Some of my other favorite gifts are my video games. The gifts I use most are my skate board, four-wheeler,
motorbike, and my snow-machine. Some more gifts I got are my snowboard and my snow skate. I have many electronics like all my remote controlled toys and stuff like that. I hope my gifts last me forever.
Winter is my favorite time of the year. We even got our first computer in winter. That computer was fun until I broke it playing pinball. I also like winter because of Christmas. On Christmas day I got my first four-wheeler, which I really liked. It was one of my favorite gifts I got. I also like winter because of the snow and because you can ride snow machines. Each year I can’t wait tell winter comes because of all the fun I have.
Even though winter is my favorite time of the year, I still like summer. Summer is so much fun too, because of bible camp. It is one of the reasons I like summer too. At bible camp you can meet new friends, swim, sing songs, and lots of other fun things. In summer you can ride motorbikes and four-wheelers, which I really like to do. Also, I can bicycle on a four-wheeler better, so I can show off. I hope in the future my summer will be fun.
My life so far has been very exciting with all my gifts, winter, and summer activities and I hope it stays that way. So far I liked all my gifts, especially my motorbike and my four-wheeler. In summer I have so much fun going to bible camp and riding my vehicles. I also like that there was no school. Winter has also been fun riding snow machines and snowboarding, so far. I hope my life will be as exciting in the future

One cold, cold winter, I slipped out of my mother’s womb. My birth date is March 13, 1983 at 10:15 a.m. At 9 pounds and 22 inches, I was average of the family. I have two older brothers and seven younger brothers. All my life I have lived here in Unalakleet and never lived anywhere else. Although my life has been short, I’ve still accomplished my toddler years, my travels, and my summer vacations.
About every year I travel somewhere. One of the most common places I travel to is Anchorage. My first place I’ve even been was to California for universal Studios, Soak city, Sea World, and Spirit West Coast. That was really, really fun! At Virginia I visited my cousins, who are Superman, Spiderman, and Thor. The scariest flight I’ve been in was when I went to New York, we crashed! Even though I’ve crashed, it still has not hampered my love to travel.
All through the years, I’ve survived summer vacations. When we first got Catwoman’s trampoline everyone was jumping all summer. We still have it and are going to keep it. When I was a little kid, I helped build my house. That was a weird summer, since I worked all the time. My first year to Bible Camp was so fun and HOT! I met lots of friends and long lost buddies. The worst summer vacation I’ve ever had was when I broke my wrist. My wrist was broken, fractured, and dislocated. I can’t wait to see what surprises are coming this coming year.
As a toddler, I have accomplished many tasks. At eleven months old, I had started walking. Most babies start walking at that same time of year, so it’s not that amazing. Around one year old, my first word came out. That word was either “momma” “dada”. That’s what my parents say, but I can’t remember. The next year, my mom planned a trip for us to go to Savoonga. We kept some pictures of us swimming out at the beach and even of the sharks! Some of my friends think I stopped diapers around four through six years old. Believe it or not, I stopped at the age of two! All through my first years, my dad tried to teach me how to ride a bike. I finally started (with training wheels) at three years old! Soon after my biking training was over, I figured out how to read. That was in Kindergarten. Toddler years bring back so many memories, that I hope you enjoy your own!
In conclusion, my life has been very fun and adventurous! I have learned many things, met many friends, and have had many great experiences. My life is full of surprises that have happened and that are coming. Before you know it, I’ll have another great adventure! I hope you enjoy you travels, your summer vacations, and your toddler memories.

One cold February night in Nome, Alaska my mom waits to see me. She said I was 10 pounds and 2oz. Stanley, Sharosha, Swenson, Tony, and Michael are my brothers. I have no sisters. Elmo and a fish are my pets. People call me Reese Girl, CC, Lynx Pack, CC in water and bay. My life has been full of Favorites, Sports, Preschool, and the rest of my life.

Have you ever had something that was you’re your favorite activity in life? On the day October 22,2003 was the day my mom and dad got married. Tony, my brother was born on April 29^th and Michael on May 12^th to Tony Sr. and Lisa Haugen. Moving from Golovin to Unalakleet was one of my favorite times. When students saw me they asked to be my friend. I went to Hawaii a few months later, which was my first trip out of Alaska. I got my friends key chains and T-shirts. My favorite gift from my parents was a camera. It can take more then a thousand pictures, most of my pictures are of my brothers. I love my favorites and want to keep them.

Joining sports is healthy for you, so I joined basketball, skiing, cheerleading, gymnastics, karate, cross country running and in the future, volleyball. My favorite sport is basketball. I play with ten eighth graders, seven seventh graders, and two sixth graders. My coaches are George Kammer and Tim Pehle. I also joined the ski team. I only traveled to White Mountain with Shyler, Sierra and Mrs. Persons. Eric Morris and his crew picked me for WISA. Then, November seventh to the ninth was the cheerleading tournament. The cheerleading squad had seven cheerleaders and one alternate. My team came in 1^st place. Another sport, gymnastics was taught be Sari Haugen and Alice Toshavik. In front of the crowd I did a little routine in the gym. Last time I did Karate was with Mr.K. During August I joined cross-country running. There were a lot of teams and people that came here to compete. For the open race we ran a four-mile runner. It was so tiring. When I get older I want Dorothy or my mom to be my coach for volleyball. I already know some rules. I am only twelve years old and I’ve joined lots of sports.

I wish I could go back to Golovin to remember my memories. When I was in Preschool, I knew Golovin and White Mountain as well as I know my parents. I knew where the playground, my school, the store, and the house was. Most of the times I would go to Renatta or John’s house to visit and play with them. My teacher, Misty would teach us songs and I would sing them a lot to practice them. While singing I would skip some lines. At the end of the year my class made a scented candle for Mother’s Day. When I was making mine, part of our school caught on fire so we went to my mom’s office. Thinking of my younger years I wish I was younger again.

There have been other activities in my life that I haven’t mentioned. My dad adopted me from Fred Tocktoo. I remember my dad doing some paper work. When I was younger I went to our fish camp at Golovin, Kitchavik. My brother was driving us to Kitchavik by boat. It was shallow and I was standing on the bow and we hit bottom, so I fell under the boat. It was soooo scary. My brother quickly went back to bring me to the clinic. I received fourteen stitches. During summertime I got a little bike from my parents. I used training wheels because I would always crash and get a cut. Then, at the age of nine I went to my first year of Bible Camp. At first I was really shy and then towards the end I met people. I had so much fun. Twelve days at the Anchorage hospital was unexciting for me. The doctors took out my tonsils. Finally, here in Unalakleet, Dr. Ladd and Jaralyn put braces on my bottom teeth. They never put them on my top because I needed to have a retainer on first. These activities in my life have kept me very busy!

In conclusion, my life has been wonderful since now. I have many more years to have fun. When I get older I want to go to Boston, Paris, Idaho, New York and Disney World and get a job for teaching. My goal is to go to school at North Dakota or Mount Edgecumbe. One of my favorite sports is basketball. We learned how to do a three on two press, block out, and other things that our coach taught in high school. All of my teammate’s want to invite Scammon Bay to you next tournament because we lost against them and then we want to show them that we can beat them. Golovin has been my hometown ever since I was six and a half years old. When I leave I miss seeing all of my relatives. I love writing this biography and wish to do it again in the future!
