Hi, my name is Emily Franco and I am a twelveth grade student at Aragon High School. On your previous post, you mentioned that you enjoy dancing! I too enjoy dancing, especially ballroom dancing and swing dancing. I started about two years ago out of curiosity and have continued ever since, dancing at swing dance functions accross the Bay Area (this is the area surrounding the San Francisco Bay, California) You also mentioned that you have a husband. How long have you two been married? My parents have been married since 1986, and I am very proud of their success! Not many marriages in this country last very long, so coming accross a couple who have been married for more than eight years is hard to come by. I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Hello Javier, my name is Irving and i go to Aragon high school in San Mateo, California. I am your typical American teenager. I go to school, i hang out with friends, i spend time with the family, and much more. If you have any questions about me please feel free to ask because i really do not know what to say about myself. I love music. Whether i’m listening to it or making it, i enjoy it either way. Singing in the shower is awesome in the mornning. I love almost all kinds of music. What kind of music do you enjoy listening to? I’m also very impresesd by your english, Javier. I don’t think i could write that well back in my first year of learning the language. Anyways, its late, i will converse with you some other time. Good day sir.

Hi Jaume, how are you? I would like to tell you about myself.

My parents grew up in the Bay Area, but they originally came from China. Because of this, my family enjoys the American and Chinese cultures. I have a younger brother who is 15 and a younger sister who is 12. We are all learning the Chinese language so that we can be closer to our heritage.

I would like to tell you more about San Mateo and the Bay Area. It is a very nice place with great weather and even greater people! The Bay Area is truly one of the best places to visit just because of the diversity and multiculturalism. Indeed, it seems that the sun is always shining and the flowers smile as you walk on the grassy fields.

I hope you can visit here one day!

Hi, my name is Trevin. I am seventeen years old, and a senior at Aragon High School. I have lived in San Mateo, California all my life and i enjoy living here in the Bay Area. My hobbies are reading, playing sports, and pretty much anything that relates to outdoors activities. I enjoy outdoor activities because I like nature and animals a lot. I go biking on trails a lot with my dad, and go camping a lot too. One of my favorite outdoors activities is fishing. I love studying fish and one day, I hope to become a marine biologist. Here in San Mateo, the weather is decent year round, although there is not much to do. San Mateo is more like a residential city. To find fun things to do, you have to go to San Francisco or some places near San Mateo. I read your post about your job and i think that it is very cool that you are a physical education teacher for young kids. I love working with young kids. Over the summer, when i don’t have school, I volunteer at local community centers to be a counselor for kid camps. The kids i work with range from one year old to sixth grade students.
Well, it has been fun writing to you so far, and i can’t wait for your next post.

Bye,
Trevin
