​My name is Donald Stephens, I am 12 years old, I was born January 12, 2005 and I was born in Portland Oregon at OHSU “the hospital on the hill.” The name Donald is a Scottish baby name, which means “Great chief, World might.” I was named after my father Donald Stephens Sr.

My heritage is African American and so are my parents. I have 4 siblings, three brothers Tiahntae, Demetrius, and Jeffery, and one sister Deonica. As far as hospitals I don’t know exactly where they were born, but Portland is where we’re from.

Not only my siblings I can’t forget about my mother April and my father Donald Sr. I can’t choose between Thanksgiving and Christmas on being my favorite family traditions, but I like both of these holidays because I get to have a relaxing, loving and bonding time with my family. As you can see from what colors I always wear to school, red is my favorite. My favorite sport is basketball, which I really excel in, and my favorite subject in school is probably Math and P.E. In my further years of life I can see myself playing professional basketball in the NBA.

I know this may be unusual, but I really value and cherish my shoes. Like if somebody steps on my shoes or if my shoes may have the smallest little smudge, I’m quick to clean it off. One thing that really bothers me is probably horror, best believe if you catching me watching some movie or show it will not be nothing involving horror.

Sincerely,
Donald Stephens.

Dear Angel:

I am very glad to write at this time of the year. I received your letter and I was very happy. I hope you are doing well? My name is Kamasa Esther and I will tell you some things about me. I am a girl and I am thirteen (13) years old. My school is DACE Demonstration Junior High School. My favorite game is skipping. I like sport but I don’t like to play. I have two younger brothers, a mom, a dad and a sister. I don’t have any pet and I also don’t like pets. I love to sing. I only like to listen to gospel songs. I am a Christian and a quiet girl. I like to share my experience with people. I want to become a newscaster in future. My school is pretty and all the teachers are disciplines.

There is no wild animals here. We don’t also have zoos. It is sunny here. Now back to you, I want to ask you some questions and they are as follows:
What religion to you belong to?
Do you like studying? Do you use phones in your research works?
What are the things you like to do in your leisure time?
What are your favorite colours?
What is the colour of your school uniform?

Do you disobey your parents and teachers anytime they ask you to do something?

Down here is a memory verse I would like to share with you. I am very happy to have you as a friend. I hope to hear from you next time.

Yours sincerely,

Esther
