Mrs. Stephanie SoccerMom

I love character sketches. I consider myself a people-watcher. If I'm alone I spin tales about the people around me. I took Creative Writing a couple of semesters ago and one of our assignments was to go to the canteen and pick a person to profile. It was really fun.

I got my idea for my stereotype from my Aunt Katie's boyfriend Kip. He always joked that he was soccer mom before Katie came around.

I picked a Soccer Mom who I would probably call Stephanie.

o   She eats bon bons

o   She has a mini-van with a stick figure family on the back glass.

o   She has three kids: 2 boys, Tristen 7 and Blake 12—1 girl Rachel 14

o   She watches Days of Our Lives religiously.

o   She is part of the PSO

o   She always has clean hair and a designer jogging suit.

o   She has a young boyfriend while the kids are at school.

o   She loves her kids but between bake sells and shopping, she consistently forgets them at sports practice.

Stephanie hears about an Oshkosh outlet near Disney Land. She needs to buy clothes for her children and they can only wear the best so she books a trip… (this part will need working on)
