2. 1999 - England
I was born in Sheffield, England in 1999, which makes me 13
years old.
After 9 years of growing up in Mosborough, I moved to Essex,
near London. I only stayed there about 9 months though,
before I moved to Vancouver, Canada.
3. Vancouver
I really enjoyed Canada because there is
so much to do, and the people are really nice.
I got to go skiing, and to beaches, play sports, stay at my friends’
cabins around Vancouver, go out on boats, and much more.
While we lived there, I had a wonderful opportunity to travel places
that were easily accessible from Vancouver, such as Florida, Las
Vegas, Chicago, New York, and other places like Hawaii.
Hawaii was one of my favourite destinations because it is beautiful,
warm, and you can swim with dolphins and turtles in captivity,
or even in the wild! I had an amazing time!
I stayed in Canada for 4 years, and went to great schools there,
and had lots of fun.
4. Hong Kong
Now I am 13, and have just moved
to Hong Kong two weeks ago.
So far it has been really exciting. The
people at Island school seem
friendly, the weather is hot, and there are great beaches.
Although, one thing I have heard about Hong Kong, is
that there are many poisonous snakes! I’m kind of
scared of forest walks, because I’m afraid something
may jump out and bite me!
5. Family
There are 5 members of my family. My mum, dad, brother, dog,
and me.
My mum’s name is Josephine, but nobody calls her that, she is
known as Josie. My dad’s name is Stephen, but everyone calls
him Steve. Oscar, is my brother, and he is in year 7 at Island
School. Lastly, there is my dog, Misty. She got the name Misty
because she looks like a big cloud of mist. She is white, tiny,
and fluffy I love her.
6. Hobbies
In my free time, I like to do many different things, depending on
what mood I am in. I love to paint, especially abstract, make
bracelets, do my nails, and design objects, or houses.
I also love to play sports. I like swimming, volleyball, basketball,
skiing, tubing, wakeboarding and sometimes football.
I love going to beaches, theme parks, and going shopping
I enjoy going places with friends, and I love travelling!
