2. The Meaning of My Name
My name is Marley. The meaning of Marley is “pleasant wood” or
“pleasant seaside meadow” to some sources. It also means
“mysterious”
It doesn’t really fit me, seeing as it describes a place, but I
would like to live by a seaside meadow. And I’m not the most
mysterious.
3. My Family
I live with my mother, Ruth,
and my father, Lawrence. I also
live with my two younger
siblings, Kaya (11) and Chase
(8).
We have a cat named Jimmy
and a yorkie-poo named Coco

9. Chance Encounter
If I could meet any 2 people, it would have to be Alex Hirsch and Bob Ross.
Bob Ross was a famous painter, and a general inspiration for me. He seems
very kind and patient and I’d love to ask for art advice from him.
Alex Hirsch is the creator of Gravity Falls, a cartoon that heavily influenced
my own art and writing. I’d love to ask him for tips and critique on my own
work.
10. My Future Plans
Once I finish high school, I want to learn how to animate or write. I want to
become either and author or a cartoonist, because I want to share my stories
with the world. But being an author is my backup plan, my main goal is
animation.
I’m not sure where I would work, but hopefully for Cartoon Network.
Animators in the United States earn about $68, 060 annually.
A bachelor’s degree in computer animation, fine art, and/or graphic arts is
necessary. Also, you’d need experience in an entry level of work before
getting the job.
Editor's Notes
Marley means either “pleasant wood”, “pleasant seaside meadow”, or “mysterious. (*) It doesn’t fit me as two describe a place, and I’m more introverted than mysterious.
I live with mom Ruth, my dad Lawrence, and my two siblings Kaya and Chase (who are 11 and 8 respectively) (*) I also have a cat named Jimmy and a yorkie-poo named Coco
Three positive things about me are that I’m kind, creative, and accepting. Some traits I need to work on are my patience, my temperance, and my nervousness
In 2001, Itunes was first launched by Apple, and from there it only grew (*) Wikipedia also started on January 15 (*) Same sex marriage became legal in the Netherlands, the first country to do so. (*) On September 11th, a terrorist attack on the Twin Towers occurred and killed a lot of people. (*) For pop culture, the first Harry Potter movie, The Philosopher's Stone was released.
If I could travel to anywhere in the world, it’d be either Paris or Venice. Both cities are unique and beautiful in their own way
My favourite colours are scarlet or turquoise.(*) My favourite food would have to be quesadillas, (*) and my favourite classes are art and English. (*) My favourite sport (if I had to pick one) is dodgeball. (*) My favourite shows are RWBY (a webseries), Gravity Falls, and Steven Universe. (*) Some of my hobbies are drawing (as shown here) writing, reading, and playing video games
My three favourite musicians would have to be Porter Robinson, Fall Out Boy, and Halsey, though I like a lot more. One of my favourite songs is called “Goodbye to a World”
