Who Am I?
Who am I?
My sweet family, my funny friends, my huge house, and my cool rainbow Loom are incredibly special to me. I really like to eat spaghetti, write, and play summer softball.
I am fashionable with hats and very friendly.

Who am I?
My crazy brother, my caring mom, my busy dad, and my chubby cat are
extremely special to me.
I love to play soccer, climb tremendous trees, and go boogieboarding.
I am super athletic and very silly.
