Hi! My name is Julia Avery, and I'm from Chicago in the U.S. I'm 15 years old, and I live with my mom, dad, and two sisters. My dad is a teacher and my mom is a doctor. My sisters are 16 and 18, so I'm the youngest in my family.
I really love animals, and I have a cat and a dog. I also go horseback riding on weekends. I want to go to college and study to be a vet when I'm older.
My school is Luther High School. It's a big school in the suburbs of Chicago with 3,000 students. My favorite subjects are science and math, but I also like languages. I'm learning Spanish and French. I'm pretty good at Spanish, but French is very difficult.
I love sports, and in my free time, I like swimming, playing soccer, and basketball. I'm on the swim team at school, and I hope to swim in the Olympics some day!
Last year, we went on vacation to California. It was awesome! We visited Yosemite National Park and camped out. We went hiking in the mountains and swam in the river. This summer, we're going to go to Mexico because my uncle is living there for two years, in Mexico City. I've never been abroad before, so I'm really excited. We're going to spend a few days in the city and then take a bus to the coast, where we will rent a house by the beach. I want to go swimming with dolphins.
