Amanda: I am home schooled and I am twelve years old. I like writing because it lets me tell people what I think without screaming at them when I am mad, and letting them under stand my feelings. I love horses and poetry, so I mostly write poetry about horses. My nickname is Manda-Panda.
Carley: I go to East Middle School and I will be in the eighth grade. I like to write because it lets me get my feelings out in the open instead of keeping them bottled up inside me. I like to write mysteries and I like to leave questions in the readers mind at the end so they want to read more. My nickname is Sodapop, like from the Outsiders, because he is my favorite character.
