Cara’s Biography

     Hi, my name is Cara Elysse Dewsberry.  I am sixteen years old and a Junior at Fountainview Academy.  I was born in Ft. Collins, Colorado, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains.  In 2000, my family moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado, where we lived for about 4 ½ years in an older neighborhood near Garden of the Gods.  Just 3 ½ years ago, my dad’s work brought us to Eureka, California, and we now live in a little cabin nestled in a Redwood forest.

     I am an only child, but have three cats and two dogs to keep me company.  My mom has been a nurse, stay-at-home mom, and now part-time secretary at my dad’s appliance repair shop.  My dad has done a variety of things in his lifetime, most recently being a computer network engineer, and presently owning and managing Coastal Appliance Repair.   I have been home schooled from 1^st through 10^th grade with both my mom and dad as teachers.  I have played the piano for nine years and have taken violin lessons for 3 ½ years.  If I could play one more instrument, I think it would be fun to play the harp.

     I really like music, especially classical and Celtic.  One of my favorite piano pieces is Claire de Lune by Claude Debussy.  I also love to read.  History stories, mission stories, and stories of tried-and-victorious Christians are some of my favorite things to read.  The book Endurance, the story of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s amazing voyage to the Antarctic, is one of my favorites.  I also really like National Geographics and am currently trying to read my way through my dad’s collection.   I also like to use my imagination, and sometimes I draw, even though I am not very good.

     I can be very shy or fairly outgoing depending on which I choose to be (naturally I tend toward the shy side).  I am usually a private person and like my own space.  I have grown up an SDA Christian and desire to keep growing in my personal relationship with God.

     I basically like all my schoolwork, but last year I especially enjoyed history, literature, and chemistry.  I am not exactly sure what I want to do with my life, but I do have an interest in interior design and decorating, and I like organizing (maybe I will go into business?).

     Some of my goals are to learn better submission to Christ, learn to witness more effectively for Him, and simply to grow into a more godly young woman.

     I hope you enjoyed reading a little bit about me, and God bless!
