A letter from Pennsylvania, USA

I'm nine years old and very active. I'm always doing cartwheels. I like to go to the Climbing Wall and rock climb, and go bowling with my dad and brother. I also like to draw and sculpt with clay.

I'm home-schooled, so my mom is kind of like my private teacher. She teaches me math, American history, and social studies. I like learning at home because I don't have to be really quiet and I can get a snack or drink any time I want. Every day I do things differently. Sometimes I do math first, sometimes piano. My grammy is a professional writer and pianist. She gives me piano lessons.

I'm also taking a class in Chinese. I picked Chinese because my friend Alessandra speaks Chinese, and I thought it would be fun to have a secret language we could speak together. Chinese is fun to speak because the same word can mean five different things depending on what tone of voice you use.
