SARAH'S SITE
Hi, I'm Sarah. Well actually, Sarah Jayne Robinson.
I am from Johannesburg in South Africa. And yes, we do have
electricity and cars and real houses.
I am 19 years old and finished high school at the end of last year. I attended Rand Park High School. I have a mom, Irene, dad, Leigh, older brother, Jonathan, sister-in-law, Nicky and a younger sister, Julie. My mother is from Canada, so we have a lot of family in Canada.
One of my interests is volleyball!! I played for the First Team at my school and I played for my Province, Gauteng. My school team completed a tour to Cape Town in August last year. Check out my volleyball page for our results and other information.
I also play the guitar. I have been playing for about 5 years. I used to be apart of a band and we would practise most Friday nights.
I spend a lot of time writing. I enjoy writing poems, songs and essays. I have a book which contains all of my writing and I will soon be posting some of my work on this page.
I also enjoy music. Some of my favourite bands are Counting Crows, Live, Ash, John Lennon, Manic Street Preachers, Just Jinger, REM, The Corrs, Jewel, Goo Goo Dolls, Dave Matthews Band and Sarah McLachlan.
I also enjoy rollarblading. And of course surfing the net and talking to people on the chat lines!
Most Friday afternoons I would go to the Princess Alice Home and help look after the babies. Just about all of the babies are black and their ages range from a few weeks to 14 months. There are about 20 babies.
Since finishing school last year, I decided that I would take a few gap years and try do a bit of travelling. I left South Africa on January 21st and flew to London. I have been staying with a family friend in Milford, Surrey, about 45 minutes from London. For the first four months of the year I worked and tried to do a bit of sightseeing around England. I visited places like Brighton, Stone Henge, Leeds Castle, Stratford Upon Avon, Warwick Castle, Arundle Castle and a few others. I spent the Easter weekend in Paris with friends of my mother's. I spent about four days travelling around Paris taking in the amazing sights.
On June 9th I flew to America where I would be spending three and a half months. I would spend two months working in a summer camp for kids, two weeks in Canada and then three weeks driving across the States. I arrived in New York and spent the night at the University of Columbia where we had our camp orientation. The following day I flew to San Francisco. My camp, Cloverleaf Ranch, is situated an hour north of the city in Santa Rosa. Camp was amazing. I coached volleyball, tennis, taught riflery, archery and music. I made many good friends with the other counselors and had some excellent experiences with the kids. I can't wait to return to camp next year. After camp I flew up to Calgary in Canada where I spent two weeks with my family. I then flew down to Los Angeles where I would be joining up with 12 other people doing Trek America. We spent the next three weeks driving to New York. We stopped and spent time at the following places: Disneyland, Las Vegas, Zion National Park, Lake Powell, Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Slim and Cody's Cowboy Camp, Santa Fe, Carlsbad, Del Rio, Mexico, San Antonio, New Orleans, Alabama, Tennessee, Washington DC and New York. We did a variety of activities like sunrise jeep tours, horse riding, swamp tours and white water rafting. It was excellent. Again I made many new friends. I flew back to London on September 21st after a great time in the States.
Now back in England I am working again in hope of returning to America next summer. I may be going home to South Africa for Christmas but at this stage nothing is finalised. It is great to travel around and see the world and I plan to do this for the next few years.
