One of my many hobbies is: useing a compound bow. Felling the power is incredible! You literally have the power in your hands to send an arrow all the way through a tree!

In America, we eat many foods of different cultures and one of my favorite foods is Chinese food. I was wondering, do you eat Chinese food?

Chloe

Hi! My name is Chloe and i am 11 years old. I have a sister Sylvie and a puppy named Violet. I love eating food from other cultures. My favorite of these is Japanese and Chinese food. I amsl love cross country skiing and running. I ski with a club near my house. I do this about three or four times a week in the winter. During the fall I run with my school team. We do races against other schools about two times a week and practice two times a week. Some other activities I love are circus arts and playing the piano. I take piano lessons at my teacher's house, but some of my friends play instruments at my school. Here is a picture of my dog.

Esther

Hi guys! My name is Esther and I collect glass animals. The good thing about collecting glass animals id that you never run out! wherever I go, I collect 1 or 2, so they are not all from the same place. I have glass animals from New York, washington, massachusetts, Las Vegas, California, Venice and many other places! I think I have over 100 glass animal! They also are memories of places I have been.

One thing that is big in America is football. Football is a sport that's surprising since you don't use your feet actively. You use your hands a lot more thank your feet and you have to hit people hard and score touchdowns and run hard and catch footballs. It's really fun and keeps you active. As you can see, I play football myself.

Lila

I am 11 years old and I have been playing the violin for 8 years. I love listening to all sorts of music as well as playing it. In addition to playing violin concerts, I love to sing and dance. I participated in a school play that swe had a few months ago and I'm constantly singing along with my ipod or the radio.

In America, we have all sorts of music. My favorite radio station plays pop, hip-hop and rap music. Pop music is constantly playing wherever I go: in supermarkets, clothing shops, malls and at home.

One thing I love to do is play video games. My favorite kind of video game is a ammo. In this game, there is more than one person in the world you are in so it is more realistic.

Evelyn

Hello, My name is Evelyn and I am 12 years old. I love animals and my favorite subject in school is gym. This is because I am very athletic and enjoy running around with friends. I wish I spoke three languages like you, but instead I speak English and am learning Spanish. I've been learning Spanish since 3rd grade and have decided to learn it until 8th grade. I love traveling and visiting new places.

I like to eat food from different cultures. I like to eat Chinese food from China. I also like pizza and pasta from Italy. One more food I like is tacos with beans, rice and cheese.

Another hobby of mine is to play with my friends, go ice skating, play on the computer and play sports. I also like to play with my dog. He is 1 year old and loves to have fun like me! I play tug of war with him, do tricks and wrestle with him.

I am from nowhere
My life is saved on a file on my desktop
I am from a video game
My story is there not here

I am from a family and school
But they are too basic for my identity

I am from knowledge
I am from books
I write them

Evelyn

I am from soccer,
Scoring goal after goal,
A team held together by friendship

I am from family,
Bonded by a care stronger than steel,
From humans to animals to insects to bugs,

I am from hard work in school,
To laziness in front of the T.V.,
From books to electronics,
And boldness to shyness

Esther

I am from soccer,
Dashing to the goal,
Scoring and scoring,
All my hard work taking its toll

I am from noodle soup,
Trickling down my throat,
Warm and soothing,
Drenching my throat with a comforting coat

I am from my pets,
Alice, Loo-Loo, Frezno, Bilbo, Corey,
Watching them scurry across the floor,
With Thalia, Indira, Rita, and Dorrie

Zack

I am from my parents.
People that care and enjoy being around my enviorment
Also they're involved with everything that im in.

I am from Lebron James.
My inspiration and reliable passion of a person.
Also some one I’d love to be when I grow old

I am from friends.
People that I stand by.
The reasons for my conflicts.
Also the reasons for my solutions.

Shaina

I am from music.
Different rhythms tapping all around
Wonderful sounds.

I am from dancing.
From spinning around
To jumping up and down.

I am from holidays.
Presents, joy, wonder, family
Feasts of food and smiles on our faces.

Chloe

I am from my friendships.
From the soft sound of movies cutting through almost complete darkness.
From crouching in a shadowy outline of a tree with my friend Anya.
From my scream as a plunge from a wet splintering dock into tauntingly bright water below.

I am from sports.
From the brutal pureness I feel as I finish a cross-country race.
From the wind throwing my hair as my skis fly down a hill.
From a gentle rush as I finish a fabrics drop.

I am from my family.
From the annoying patter of my sister Sylvie’s feet as she trails behind me.
From my puppy Violet’s high prance as she races through the field.
From long walks in the woods and grocery bags full of fruit.
I am Chloe.

Sophie

I am from my family,
From an annoying little brother named Max, a mom and a dad
We go on a lot of vacations together

I am from soccer,
Running across the sea of green grass
And passing the ball back and forth

I am from school,
5 days a week I learn math, science, social studies, English, Spanish, drama, art, tech ed., music, P. E., health, and newspaper

Lila

I am from music. Classical, hip-hop, jazz, pop, R+B, and soul.

I am from baseball. From my glove and my bat. From the boys league and kind coaches. I am from my karate blackbelt on the right side of my top shelf.

I am from my family. From my mom's soft voice aand my dad's gentle arms. From my brother's corny jokes and loud familiar laugh.

I am from all the people who support me every day, and the bullies who make me me stronger.

I am from dumb jokes , silly dances and goofy faces. From all the goofballs in the world.

I am from a unique person. I am from me.

Ethan

I am from a world of technology.
Everything from smart-phones to T.V.s that you can play games on.
Not much you can do but play on computers, and watch youtube on a smart-T.V.

Josh

I am from a family of 4
where there is always a competition between me and my sister to be the best child
and where there are always fights but we still care about each other

I am from a world of sports
that ranges from baseball
to basketball to football

I am from technology
that keeps me updated
and everything that is new
and that keeps me sane when I am so bored
