Dear Ms. Christensen, Over summer break I did lots of things. I went to the beach, hung out friends, went shopping and I also went to the movies a lot. I also read book called The Sisters, a biography about the Mitford Sisters.

I’m Scarlett Betancourt. I’m here because want to learn and reach my goals. My short term goals are becoming a better writer and start doing community service. When I get older I hope to join the army or traveling for a living. I struggle with being creative when it comes to writing.

I was born in San Diego. My parents were born and raised in Mexico. I’m a single child, but I have lived with my 17 year old year cousin my whole life so he’s practically my brother. Most of my family lives in Mexico so I rarely see them except for my grandma and aunt since they live in Tijuana. I’ve been to three schools. I’m in love with history, unlike most people. I also enjoy reading non-fictional history biographies and such. I like reading and hanging out with my friends. I’m hoping to study abroad in college.
