Jo's Bio


August 6th, 2010





My name is Jo and I am 14 years old. I live in a rural town in Pennsylvania with my mom, my dad, my older sister, and my two little brothers. My parents are divorced, but I still see both of them everyday.

I am very athletic and sporty. In seventh grade I was a part of the junior varsity track team and I was going to continue my track career into the eighth grade when I tore the tendon from my hipbone which took me out the whole season. To prevent further injuries, I have resigned my position on the track team. Now I play softball and I am planning on trying out for the volleyball team when school starts back up this fall. I also bike with my mother. I consider this as my hobby because I don't do it as often as i'd like to.



Also, I love to read and write. I like to read mysteries and mythical or fiction books. My favorite books are the Harry Potter books. I also love animals and movies. I hope that one day I can accomplish my dream of becoming either an actress or a vet.

I have joined this literacy journey to learn about other cultures. I have always been interested in others' cultures and thought that this could be a way to learn even more about them. I have also noticed that this project has taught me more responsibilty and I have improved on my writing ever since the beginning.
