=**Mon Enfance**= Quand j'avais six ans, j'habitais a Las Vegas. J'allais a St. Viator. J'etais en premier. J'etais timide mais je n'etais pas sportive. J'aimais le chocolat et glace, mais je detestais les tomates. Je regardais <<Pokemon et Powerpuff girls>>. J'ecoutais <<Backstreet Boys et Spice Girls>>. Quand j'etais petite, j'aimais beaucoup lire. Je lisais le livres de Margret Peterson Heddix<<Running Out of Time>> et Katherine Paterson <<Bridge to Terebethia>>. Mes meilleures amies etaient Tasha, Renjith, et Jessica. Je me levais vers 6H et je me couchais vers 20H et demie. Le weekend, je jouais avec mes amies, et avec mon frere et ma cousins. Pendant les vacances, nous rendions visite a mes grands parents a India, je nageais, et je voyagais avec ma famille. Voila mon enfance!
