Sarah

About Me:
I live with my parents, and my little siblings -- they're twins, a boy and a girl. I'm older than my siblings by 10 years, so they can drive me a little nuts, but we all tend to get along. I'm having a pretty awesome time in high school, and I can't wait to start grade 11. I read a lot, and I'm currently writing a book, called "Betrayal". I also write a lot of short stories. Swimming's my sport. If I'm in the water, I'm happy.

I want to get the book I'm writing published before I'm 20 and my book of short stories published before I get out of high school. I also want to move to Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia; I was born in Nova Scotia, it's beautiful there, and I want to live there for the rest of my life. I want to travel the world, though, and see everything there is to see.
