Biography

Gissel was born on the night of February 25, 2010, in UTMB hospital in Galveston, her parents names are Maria and Oscar. While she was still growing up she was very clumsy and would fall a lot as a young child. When she came of age to start school she went to J.W Oates Elementary she made lots of friends quickly. At some point, she got into the GT program, she was one of the few students in her school. When she finished elementary her mother found out the connected middle school didn't have a very good reputation. Her mother decided that she wouldn't send her child to that school and instead, she found Woodland Acres Middle School. When Gissel first started at this school she didn't have any friends and because of the district change, they had gotten her out of GT. She eventually made a few of her closest friends and has been in advanced classes from mid-sixth grade to eighth grade.

Gissel has loved drawing since she was young and still does it to this day. She's never been the greatest artist but she's always continued on even if they didn't always turn out how she wanted. Her favorite types of art are drawing and painting and she tends to do it whenever she's bored or when an idea pops into her head that she believes she can do. When she entered middle school she didn't get to choose what electives she wanted and one of them turned out to be choir, she started off rocky but once she went into seventh grade she found herself loving it and also becoming better at it throughout the year. She is still in the choir and has actually moved up to varsity in eighth grade where she gets lots of music she has to prepare within weeks. 

One of her accomplishments is that she managed to get back on her feet when she had to start all over beginning middle school, she had to make a few friends but once she started figuring it all out she made all sorts of new friends and she been in advanced classes. She also got into Spanish two which she thought she wouldn't have gotten in because she always thought her writing wasn't very good and that she needed some work.

One of her many goals especially for this year and upcoming years is that she wants to keep her grades up and try to do as much of her work on time as possible to keep up with classes. She's also been trying to understand and pay more attention in classes, especially math, this year she's finding math to be harder than other years. She wants to start asking more questions in class and trying harder to speak up when she doesn't understand something, shes never been all that great when it comes to talking loud or speaking up for herself so she always stays quiet. Her main goal is to be a better student and have better grades than she has had throughout the years.
