About Me
Hi! I’m Lauren, and I joined the world of blogging in early September of 2008. I have several interests, and one of them is blogging/making Wikispaces. Last year, I joined the blogging challenge that Miss W. runs, and I really enjoyed it.
Last year, I was a part of the 1:1 Laptop Pilot Program at school. In fifth grade, all the kids in my grade talked with their parents and decided if they wanted to have a chance to be part of the program. I was one of the 75 out of about 150 students who won the lottery-style drawing, so now I am part of the program. All 24 of the High Ability kids in my class are blessed to have an opportunity like this, and we are extremely grateful.
I compete in a few sports, including swimming, cross country, track, and tennis. Swimming is the only one that I do year-round, and I love it. Swimming is my main sport because I enjoy it and have lots of friends who swim on my team. My swimming friends and I, pictured below, love to hang out through Skype and at school.
I officially play two instruments. I take piano lessons, and play the cello in the school orchestra. I started playing the cello two years ago, in fifth grade, and am lucky enough to be the section leader of all the seventh grade cellos. I have played the piano since I was five or six, and love to sit down and practice.
My academic interest is English. I love to write stories and blog posts. The only problem is that I start stories and, most of the time, don’t finish them. I love a good reason to write and finish stories, and that is the main reason I love English.
I hope that you have time to read all my posts and visit some of the sites that I either designed or like to read. My blogrolls are located on the right sidebar.
