	"Dream as if you'll live forever; live as if you'll die today."

What I want other club members to know about me:

Hi, there! I'm Emily, and I'm a reader, a runner, a writer, a thinker, an equestrian, a lacrosse player, a tennis player, a Harry Potter fanatic, a summer-lover, a good friend, and a dreamer.

I'm 12 years old, and I'm entering the seventh grade this year.

I have light brown hair that reaches where your tank top straps become your actual tank top, and it's layered with a little bit of angling framing my face. I have blue eyes, freckles, fair skin with a slight tan. I'm 5'2" and very slender.

I'm a pretty nice person, but I'm not too nice; I don't let people walk all over me. I try not to hold grudges, but sometimes I can't help it. I'll always listen to anyone, so feel free to talk to me about anything. I'm pretty honest, and I like it when people are honest to me.

I do well in school, and I care about my education. I love my friends (they're the best), my family, and my animals- I have 16 pets. I'm also really good at sports.

I'd love to be your penpal, but I'd like to write some letters back and forth before deciding, since I'm really busy.

How I like to spend my time:

I absolutely love to read. I also enjoy playing with my pets, of which I have 21. I love to run. I am on the cross country team, and I run almost every day. I also love to play lacrosse and horseback ride. I'm hoping to start dance soon, and I ice-skate in the winter. I write letters to my cousin, Ellen, who is my penpal. If I am online, I go to New Moon Girls Club, or sometimes Girl's Life. Of course, I love Circle of Friends!

What I love the most and why:

My dogs, Dutch, Cece, and Willow... my horses, Little Dude and Drift... my chickens... books... sports (cross country, lacrosse, ice skating, tennis, volleyball, horse-back riding, and dancing)... my bedroom... my family... the forest behind my house... chocolate... warm tea with honey... my silver charm bracelet... earrings... holidays... my garden... flowers... light blue... the ocean... sea-glass... seashells... snow... writing...

Shannon Hale... J.K. Rowling... Kate DiCamillo... Gail Carson Levine... Ann Hood... Jeanne Birdsall... John Greene... Cornelia Funke... Lisi Harrison... long letters from my cousin, Ellen... libraries... writing and reading poetry... Circle of Friends... sailing... my best friends: Sarah, Kourtney, Allison, Kate, Mary, Emma, Nikola... my penpals: Catherine, Merriam, Nina, Kendall, Ashley, Devin, Emily, Hayley, Rose, Cate, Alex... sleep-overs... summer trips to Canda... starfish... clouds... dreaming... book stores... life...

I am best described as:	Emily
Someday, I hope to be:	a scientist, an animal-owner, an author... truly happy
Something I believe:	I believe in every single one of the choices on the drop-down menu. I also believe that animals have souls, too. And I believe that our school bathroom passes are prejudiced. Who says that boys have to like blue and girls have to like pink? (No offense if you do.)
