Talia

===Hello, my name is Talia I am 15 years old and I go to the Frisch high school in Parmus New Jersey. I will be 16 on July first. I live on Flamingo lane in New York . I have lived in my house my whole life; we moved there a week before I was born. I have like everyone a mother and a father; I also have an older brother who is currently college. My favorite places are Time square in New York City and this beach in Israel (I forgot the name). I love Times Square because how busy it is and even at night it is so bright. I love the beach because it is very pretty and calming, I was in Israel this past summer summer and we went to that beach almost every day. === === In my spare time I read, watch TV, listen to music, and hang out with friends. My favorite color is purple because who doesn’t like the color purple? My favorite book is A Tree Grows in Brooklyn because it shows how even though Francie Nolan was very poor she was able to have a positive mindset to be able to still be a good person. My belief system just happens to be from a quote in my favorite book: “Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time” (Betty Smith A Tree Grows in Brooklyn) This quote speaks to me because it shows how you should always live in the “now” and to be in the “now” in a positive way. ===
