Dear Malcolm,Hello! My name is Stephanee and I am nineteen years old. I am one of two daughters in the Yager family. My sister, Jolee (my parents are obsessed with double es I suppose), is 11 years younger than me. She can be quite a nuisance sometimes, but I love her to death. As far as pets go, I had an 8 foot boa constrictor named NoFeet, and a Siberian husky named, Claire, who passed away this summer. I loved Claire so much but dogs get old unfortunately. For Christmas, our family received a husky named Jasper (he is not butt-ugly at all).My father was in the Navy for 18 years, and met my mother while stationed in Yokosuka, Japan, where I was born. About every three years we had to pick up and move because my dad would get stationed somewhere else. My mother worked as an accountant when I was little, and my grandmother helped raise me so Im very close to her. Ive lived in California, Washington D.C., South Carolina, Texas (where my sister was born), Virginia, and he retired from the Navy and we moved to Denver, North Carolina in 2011. My dad is from Colorado and my mom is from California, so we are Denver Broncos fans.In my free time I like to watch Netflix (The Walking Dead, American Horror Story, and Orange is the New Black are my favorites). Going on walks and hikes help clear my mind because I enjoy the outdoors so much. I also like to explore the city and find new adventures to partake in! I think photography and design are wonderful so Im currently trying to save up for a nice camera. When Im bored in the house, I go on YouTube and find hair and makeup tutorials and try to copy them.As far as school goes, I love it here at UNCC! I am undeclared right now because I am still trying to find out who I am and what I like. I applied to Appalachian State and UNCC, and got accepted to both, but I chose Charlotte because I wouldnt be able to handle the cold. Denver is only 40 minutes away, so I live at home and commute with my boyfriend.My parents gave me the option of either living on campus or buying a new car I chose the car. Its a 2014 Honda Accord Coupe named Annika and I love her very much (great gas mileage too). My boyfriend, Eric, is a sophomore at UNCC, and we carpool together. We met in high school and have been dating for three and half years. Hes awesome and my parents love him too. When we started dating, I started going to church with him, and eventually I was confirmed Catholic and my faith has been a huge part of my life ever since.I dont play any sports because my coordination is horrible, but recently Eric has been teaching me some songs to play on the ukulele. I love music and my taste ranges from Taylor Swift to Cage the Elephant to Chance the Rapper (a lot of variation). The only music I dont really like is country.I am an active member of Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, and Snapchat (and Facebook only because I have family on there). Recently I have been thinking about deleting all of my social networking accounts (except Tumblr because blogging is awesome) so I can stop wasting time online and go outdoors and do yoga and meditate or something. Ill let you know how that works out. I look forward to attending your class because you seem very friendly, funny, and helpful. I actually enjoy writing so this class should be interesting! See you on Tuesday,

Stephanee Yager
