Hi! My name is __________. I’m __ and in _th grade, and I was born
on ____________ in the Hospital at Penn State College. One significant
person who has shaped my life is my dad. He has taught me pretty much
everything I know about life, politics, and religion. I am a very political person and
use politics and religion for everything (or rather the absence of religion for me),
they shape most or all of my decisions. Another significant person who has
shaped my life is my mom. She works day and night in hospitals and a college for
me, and I barely ever see her. She provides for me, my dad, and my two little
brothers. Without her, I wouldn’t exist as I am today.

Some of my strengths are computers and music. I do TONS of computer
programming. It is entertaining and fun, and sometimes even frustrating. I love
being able to make the computer automate tasks for me. I also love music. I have
played violin for 10 years (since I was 3) and I also take piano and French horn. I
write lots of music and play in a youth orchestra (_____(_______ _________
Symphonies)). It is fun and fairly easy for me. I can express myself clearly when I
play music. My goals of this year are to make more friends and to get better at
debating and defending myself politically.

So now you know a little about me: a boy in 8th grade who likes music,
computers, and politics.
