I am sixteen years old and am in the eleventh grade at Uxbridge Secondary School. My birthday is on March 10th, and I moved to Uxbridge from Scarborough three years ago and am loving every minute of it.

My parents are not divorced and I have one older brother and one older sister. I have a cat, Pumpkin, whom I could not write without (he inspires me) and what I call a mini-mut bred dog, Dylan. If you are questioning what a min-mutt might look like, imagine a cockerspanial, small poodle, lhasa abso, and a blond dog with a huge underbite, big brown eyes, and legs that are too short for his long body.

My interests are hiking, biking, riding horses, and swimming. I enjoy reading poems by Owen R. Neill and I usually write poetry when there is no one else that is open-minded enough to talk to or I am inspried by my surroundings.

I was born on April 13, 1980. I have a 1 year younger brother, and a 9 year younger sister. My parents are not divorced. I love to play all types of sports, surf the net, and babysit kids. I like to write poems (can you tell?). Being outside inspires me to write, poems as well as short stories,(although the stories usually end up being really long).
