Who Am I?

Brandy Ballard 2

• Up until 4th grade I attended a catholic private school in Rockford, Illinois.

• I hated those uniforms and was the only girl in my entire grade of 34 kids that wore shorts under her jumper, so I could play with the guys at recess. • In 2nd grade we got our first

communion; I got to have a party.

Hometown : Byron, Illinois

• Byron is a small country town of about 3500 people.

• We moved here when I was in 4th grade.

I would most likely compare Byron to the town from Varsity Blues. Friday Night Football the entire town practically shut down. This is me & one of my best friends at a playoff game our Senior Year.

Byron School District

• This is what my backyard looks like.

• I loved growing up away from the city I think there is a greater sense of freedom when you’re out in the country.

Family- Daddy’s Little Girl

• He’s probably the reason I’m such a country girl.

• Me and my dad are tremendously close.

• He’s the one who’s gotten me into all of my hobbies…four wheeling & bow hunting are the top two.

• Even when I turned 18 my dad and I went and got tattoos together.

• He’s my role model in life and one of my best friends.

• I think most girls fall into the

same sports teams as their

dad, therefore, I have been a

bears fan before I could walk.

• Football is my favorite

professional sport to watch, I

absolutely love it!

Go Bears!

professional sport.

• One day the cubbies will break the curse and go

to the World Series.

• Go Cubs!!!

•My girls are always there for me and I don’t know what I’d

do without them.

• Even though they’re city girls

to the core, I couldn’t ask for better friends.
