Intro of myself

Hi guys!

I'm Hannah and I'm a freshman. Truthfully, American Lit is my favorite class. I have a sister and a brother who also came here--Grace and Riley. My hobbies are biking, reading, volleyball, cooking, and some other stuff. I also play instruments: the piano and the cello. I'm ABC (American Born Chinese) and I love it. I actually learn all my Chinese from watching Chinese soap operas with my mom.

One thing that my family loves to do is travel. I've never had a regular boring summer ever since 4th grade. I've gone all over Europe. I went to France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, and so on. We even got a cuckoo clock from Germany (it always got really annoying so it's just a wall decoration now). I've been to Alaska--which has probably been my most favorite trip ever. We flew to Anchorage, Alaska and pretty much explored. We went to Denali National Park and saw all sorts of animals. I saw a couple bears and elk, but what I really liked about the park was that the plants and vegetation there were so colorful. There were red ferns and purple trees and such. One time my dad took us to a "Christmas in July" dinner sort of thing. We went to kind of a log cabin and ate a Christmas dinner with other people we had never met before (most of them were old people). The employees put on a show and I think I remember it was kind of weird.

I also went to the Bahamas, Jamaica, and the Grand Cayman Islands. On that trip, I kissed a string ray and a dolphin. Pretty cool, eh? (It's not that big of a deal.) When we went to Jamaica, we climbed a waterfall. It was the scariest thing ever! Everyone held hands and basically walked up the waterfall, but it was really hard going against the water. The Jamaicans there were like professionals. I saw some of them hop up the waterfall. I've also been around China. Hong Kong is my absolute favorite since my parents were born there, but I also loved going Guilum. There, we went to a cave in the mountainside with pretty cool stalagmites and stalactites. One group of stalactites resembled a lion and some stalagmites resembled the city of Shanghai. We also took a boat trip down the Yangtze River where the tour guide showed us some cracks on the side of the canyons. People were actually buried inside the rocks (a long, long time ago, it was normal for people to be buried there)!

I hope someday that I can go to Japan, South Korea, Australia, and maybe even Iceland. I'm a person who likes to experience things by actually going to the places rather than just looking at pictures which is why I love nature and science. My dream job is to work for National Geographic as a writer or a scientist. That's a little bit about me..hope you enjoyed my post!
