Hi!!!!!!! My name is Madison but most people call me Maddy. I'm 11 years old. I'm the oldest child in my family. I like to swim and play the violin. I'm on the swim team in this town and almost all of my friends are on it too. My favorite stroke is the breaststroke. My fastest time is 56 secs for a 50 yard swim. I love swimming!!!!!!!!!! I play the violin and love it. I participate in the Southwest Missouri Suzuki Strings program. The Suzuki Method goes through books, each a different level. I'm at the end of the 4th book. I love music and I really don't know if I could make it without music!!! So this is me. I like to swim,play the violin and TALK!!!!!!!!!!! I talk non stop. I talk to everybody and if I'm not talking to someone else I'm talking to myself. Well at least all of my friends are like that too so I'm not the only one talking!!! My family is great. My mom and dad are awesome and my little sisters and brother are lots of fun. My dad's side of the family is hughnormous!!! ( that's a word that me and my friends came up with. Cool huh?) My grandma and grandpa each have 12 brothers and sisters. So I'm, like, related to everybody. My mom's side is not as big, but it's just as much fun. My dad's sister, my aunt, has ten kids, all her own. So that's a lot of fun. I don't have any other 1st cousins on my dad's side. Most of my family are distant cousins. My oldest uncle on my mom's side has 3 kids, Taylor (12) Jack( 10) and Grant( 6). My next uncle has 2 kids, Stephanie and Trey. They are like out of high school. Then my uncle, Travis, has 3 kids, Paige ( 13) Ethan (11) and Abby(5). So this is my family. Together we have tons of fun. I hope this tells you a lot about my family, me, and what I like to do. Bye!!
Hi, my name is Margaret and my favorite things to do are piano, dance, and swim. I have a lot of fun dancing because I have many friends who dance with me. I have danced since I was 2 or 3 years old and I have loved it since forever. I play the piano for my instrument. I have played for 5 years. I think it is fun until the practicing comes along. I do not like practicing, but I do like to play it just for fun. My mom always says, "practice makes perfect." I have to say that in my head sometimes when I am practicing. Swim team is another thing I do. I love it because it is so much fun. My mom is my dance teacher and also my school teacher because we are home schooled. My dad is the best dad ever because he does so many things for me. He is always there to cheer me on during my dances or other things that I do. I also have a lot of friends. I hope this tells you alot about me and my personality! Bye!!
