= Mon Enfance = Quand j'avais 7 ans, j'habitais a Houston. J'allais a <<Austin Parkway Elementary>>. J'étais an 2ieme. J'étais content et paresseuse, mais je n'étais pas très sportive. J' aima is les soupe et la frites. Je détestais le poisson. Je regardais <<Doug, Rugrats, Sabrina, Hey Arnold, Looney Tunes, Pokemon, Digimon, Sailor Moon, Power Rangers, et Tiny Tunes>> J' écoutais <<Spice Girls>> Je lisais les livers de <<Velvetine Rabbit, If you Give a Mouse a Cookie, et Rainbow Fish>> Mes meilleures amies étaient Megan et Alexandra.

Je me vers 6H30 et je me couchais vers 21H.

Le week-end, je jouais avec mes amies et regarde le télé. D'habitude je jouer avec mon souer, Maggie. Pendant les vacances, voyager Flordia et Australia et je nageais.
