My
name is Elena. I am fifteen years old, and a sophomore
at Central Catholic High School. There are four people
in my family, my mom, dad, older sister, and me. My sister
is a freshman in college. My dad is a high school vice-principal,
and my mom is a fifth grade teacher. I live in Portland,
Oregon. I have traveled a lot with my family. We have gone
to Italy, Switzerland, Germany, France, and I have been
to Japan twice. I have been to about eighteen of the fifty
states. This spring break, my family is going to Mexico.
I am very excited about going.
My hobbies are sports, shopping, listening to music, and
watching movies. I play soccer, and do rowing. My favorite
sport is rowing. I also enjoy watching football with my
family. My favorite movie right now is Harry Potter and
the Goblet of Fire. I love Harry Potter, especially the
books. I don't have a job. This summer, I am planning to
get a part-time job as a bank teller.
My sister's name is Brianna. She is eighteen, and goes
to the University of Oregon. It is in Eugene, Oregon. My
sister is in a sorority called Delta Gamma, and she really
enjoys it. She lives in a dorm, and it is decorated really
cute. The colors are pink and green. My sister's roommate
is very nice, her name is Maddie.
Brianna's hobbies are dancing, shopping, and listening
to music. She loves shopping, and spends a lot of money.
Because of this, she has a part time job. She works at
the U of O bookstore. One time, I got to go visit my sister
in Eugene. We went to an 80's party, and wore funny clothes.
It was really fun.
My family is very big. I have eleven cousins, and I am
the fourth oldest. In this picture, we are all lined up
from oldest to youngest. Two of my cousins live in Ashland,
Oregon. They come to Portland and stay for about a week.
Everyone else lives in Portland. Every summer, our whole
family gets together and we have a really big party. A
lot of people come and bring food. It is really fun. All
of the cousins play together and eat. The party is held
at my grandparent's house. They have a very big yard, so
the kids can all run around. When we were little, all of
the kids would sing and dance, putting on a show for the
adults. We would wear costumes, and it was very entertaining.
