I live in East Hartford. I am 11 3/4 years old. There are six family members living in my house; I am the third of four girls. In my travels I have been on a train, in a car, and in a bus. I have been to New York, New Jersey, and Washington D.C. My interest in school is Social Studies. Outside of school my interest is music; I listen to a lot of Christian music. I do gymnastics to maintain my flexibility. I am artistic on the computer, but I can't draw on paper. When it comes to learning I'm very good at math.

I live in Canton, CT. I am thirteen and one of two children. I have traveled on boats before, and have been aboard the Half Moon before. It was docked when I was on it. I love to climb trees whenever I get a chance. I also love Math and Science. I listen to all types of music but rap and hiphop. I've played the piano for two years. I am an acolyte at my church, and have received many awards during my 8th grade year at GHAMAS. Some of these include the Presidential Academic Excellence Award, and the Presidential Award for my American Studies class. My talent other than playing the piano is my fast typing skills.
