"I was born on July 11th in Stoneybrook, Conneticut. The announcement of my birth was in the 'Stoneybrook Gazett'. I have lived in a house on Bradford Court all my life . . ."
'Ugh. So this is my autobiography. All the eighth-graders at SMS have to write one. Even though I'm not good at writing, it's been cool remembering when I was little. I have lots of good memories of growing up here on Bradford Court, across the street from my friends Kristy and Mary Anne. Like my sixth birthday. First it was good, then it was bad, then it was good again. And the time I was afraid of the tooth fairy! I probably won't get an A on this assignment. I never do. But I have to admit that this is one project that's actually been fun.'
