cheerleader at my school, because I liked gymnastics, teamwork and winning
medals.

I used to live far from school, because my mom lived the south and the school
was in the north. I used to hate taking the bus because I always fell asleep and
wen to the other side of town. Also, I used hate biology class because I didn’t

grandad in the neighborhood apartments. I used to go play with my cousins in the
park and we rode bicycles all over the neighborhood.
