Hello, my name is Ure. I am a girl of 11 years old and I love to draw and write stories.

Here I’m standing in front of Aso Rock. Aso Rock is a large monolith that is on the outskirts of Abuja, the capital of Nigeria.

We are a total of five in my family. I am the eldest, and I have two sisters. They are Nina and NneEzi. Nina is 7 years old, while NneEzi, whom we fondly call Zizi, is 5 years old. We have three dogs, Boxer, Tracy, and Colonel. My parents were introduced to Christian Science by a family friend who invited them to a Christian Science lecture. That was when I was about two. First my father started attending the Christian Science church, then my mother and I did too.
