Hi, I’m Sierra, and I’m a seventh grader at the Santa Barbara Middle School.

Let me tell you a little about myself. I’m in seventh grade, and twelve years old. I’m so excited that I got into Teen Press, because I love writing, and, although I haven’t done a lot of it, reporting. Reading is one of my favorite things to do, and although I love watching TV, surfing the web, and hanging out with my friends, I always look forward to curling up with a good book at the end of the day, and getting caught up in a story.

I live with my mom, dad, and our two cats, Cassie, and Lilly. My parents are two of my best friends, and I know I can talk to them about anything. Our two cats, one fat and attention loving, and one shy and quiet as a mouse, live with us and habitually soil our furniture and carpet. When I’m not at school, I enjoy hanging out with my friends, shopping, surfing the net, and swimming.

Although I love school and learning, my favorite part of the year is summer, and each year my family and I go up to the Sierras (I’m named after them!), and relax, swim, and enjoy the warm weather and summer. Although I always look forward to going to my special place in the mountains, coming back to school is always exciting and fun, and I’m especially looking forward to learning new things, and having a great time participating in Teen Press!
