== Jaime Tracey Thain Shearer ==. Born at 1620hrs on 5th March 1994 in Takapuna, Auckland, New Zealand. First born child of Audrey Sherwen and Andrew Shearer. (Who met at Takapuna Grammar School in 1983). Jaime has a younger (by 3yrs) brother, and 2 half sisters by her father. Jaime was fairly advanced for her age, crawling, walking and talking earlier than average. She had a vocabulary of 120 or so words by 13mths, could spell 'hippopotamus' at 21mths. She remains very articulate with a love of language. She produced some outstanding poems by age 11, and started her first novel (incomplete at time of writing) at age 14yrs. Jaime has always been a popular girl, counting as many boys as girls in her wide social circle. She has also excelled in rowing, taking gold at the North Island Secondary School Championships, and Bronze at the Nationals (Maadi Cup). Both medals were won in the Under 17 Girls coxed quad. She is a strong willed, passionate, outspoken individual, who I have no doubt will be very successful in whatever field or career she follows. She currently resides in Melbourne, Australia with her partner of more than 18mths. Her plans for the future are to travel to South East Asia and South America, return to New Zealand and pursue a university qualification.
