My Autobiography

Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of me! In case you were wondering, my name is Lauren Azania Christophene Claudine Aymer-Jeffrey. It is a long name I know, but my parents gave the last names of our godparents to my siblings and me.

Talking of siblings, I have three – Reva who is 12 years of age, Jordan who is 9 years of age and Eboni who is 4 years of age. I am 15 years of age.

I was born on the 16th day of the 8th month 1990 at Greenwich Hospital – the 1 and only – hospital for the stars!

‘Infamous’ stars like me all go to Albany Secondary School in Enfield, where, I am in form 11N. My form tutor – Mr Taylor, has been my form tutor for 4 years in a row which is very fortunate for me as this means that he knows that although I am a good, intelligent pupil, I am late most of the time – he doesn’t get any surprises when I am late!

Currently at school, I am in the school council, I am a school prefect and I am on the yearbook committee. as I am in my last year of school, I am helping to plan my year’s ‘leaving prom’ and the fundraising for it, and so I feel I have some authority in the school.

I am of Antiguan/Jamaican descent – my mother’s parents are both from Antigua which is in the West Indies, and my father’s parents are Antiguan and Jamaican – also in the West Indies. I am black, have black afro hair, which I am quite famous for as I have been known to attend school with GIANT afro! I have deep brown eyes, which all or most of my family also share. A lot of my family live all around the world – in countries like America, Canada, Jamaica, Antigua, Spain e.t.c; and so, to see them I have to travel quite far. This brings me onto my fears. I am completely, 100% scared of flying, lifts and spiders, meaning whenever I want to see my family, they have to come to me – which they don’t always do, and so, I don’t see them as often as I could.

I am supposedly cheerful, because  I like to make everyone smile and I absolutely love smiling, loud because I absolutely hate being quite – and always have to have my say, friendly as I have many friends and I love to find more. I am portrayed as hard working, as I always attempt to reach my learning goals, no matter how rude, loud or ‘nutty’ I am, and I always keep my head focused on learning. I think I am funny – if I crack a joke and it’s not funny, people say I am also ‘interesting’ – there isn’t a day when my friends don’t think ‘What’s going on in Lauren’s head today?’ I am fun to be with – like I said, I think I am interesting, funny and loud! People say that those three characteristics are ‘perfect’ – when a person has all three, then they are very fun to be with!

I live with my siblings and both of my parents. Occasionally, I stay at my Nan’s house in Stoke Newington, with my aunt, two cousins and Nan and I then visit my cousins who work at a travel agents around the corner from my Nan’s house. When I was in year 10, that is where my work placement was for ;’work experience’. (when year 10 pupils are given the opportunity to work at a job placement for two weeks to experience job life) I chose to work at the travel agents as I know the people that work there, ...
