introduction to a legend; me :)

A bit about me 

My name is Katie Persson, I live in Clane Co.Kildare. 

I was born in Sweden, hence the weird second name 🤣 

     

My dad is from Sweden and my mam is from Dublin. They moved to Sweden in 1997 and had me in 2000. My first language was Swedish and I spent 5 years over there and moved to Ireland in 2005. I have three sisters Maggie(16) and Rebecca(12). Maggie was also born in Sweden but only lived there for a year. We go over to Sweden 2/3 times a year, usually during the Summer and Christmas time.

When I moved over to Ireland I first moved to Stillorgan in Dublin for 3-4 years, then we moved into Maynooth for a year and ever since I have been living in Clane. I done junior and senior infants in Dublin and then 1st class to 6th year in Clane primary/secondary.

I have been with my boyfriend Shane for 3.5 years now, we were in the same tutor from 1-3 year. He lives in Clane too which is handy and we recently went over to Rotterdam for a month.

I really enjoy Creative Digital Media, I feel like it is really suited to me. My favorite part about the course is learning about how to edit videos through premiere pro and photography. 

I also really enjoy making this blog, when I was younger, maybe like 13/14 my mam made me a website called Katiepersson.com (original) and I would just write about my day haha. Its gone now so don't try to look it up hahahah.

My mam got diagnosed with breast cancer when I was two weeks into first year, I was only 12/13 at the time but she dealt with it with a positive attitude which made it a lot easier for us all. She started up here own blog called 'kicking the shite out of cancer' where she talks about her experience with cancer, having cancer and working, telling the kids and how to look out for breast cancer etc. She really took her cancer and put a positive spin on it. She decided to start a 'strip and dip', where women of any age and size run into to sea naked to raise money for Aoibheann's Pink Tie. In total over the 6 years they have raised 870,000 euro for the charity. Last year she got into the Guiness World Book Of Records for the worlds largest skinny dip. 2505 women smashed the record and ran into the sea and raised 508,000 euro.

They were also on Ireland's got Talent as 'sea of change' 80 woman all got the golden buzzer the first time they sang.

                    

That's it really I dont think I have anything else to say.
