'Brittany Marie' Bertelsen - INTRO

PART I

 

An Intro to My Intro:

Before I begin, I would like to point out my name again. My name is 'Brittany Marie' Bertelsen. Many people take mistake on this though, and assume that my first name is simply Brittany. It's not. It's Brittany Marie. Now, if you call me Brittany it's perfectly fine. I will respond. I just wanted to make sure it was understood that my name is Brittany Marie and not Brittany.

PART II

An Ironic Start:

My birth took place in Jacksonville, Florida. When I was a toddler, I would run around the house stripping down to my diaper, stopping and smiling at everyone before letting out a loud giggle and finding the next person to laugh with. Also, I did not start speaking until I was four. All three of these things are so peculiar about me because I have a very hard time enjoying warm weather, I almost always button my shirt up to its highest, and I hold a serious rambling problem. I still smile and laugh all of the time, though. I don't think that will ever change.

Growing Up:
 

During my sophomore year of high school, I went abroad as a foreign exchange student and lived in Denmark for a year. It is probably one of the biggest things that has ever held and shaped me. It was absolutely s'wonderful and s'marvelous. Being a part of an experience like that, especially so young, really opens your mind. It's been more than 5 years and I'm still as much in love with the Danes as I was the day I left.

 

My Dream:

 

When I grow up, I want to be a Costume Designer. I love painting pictures in my mind for all the characters I meet in plays and books. To make that real, and help create and define these people, is a possibility I just cannot gaze away from.
