Leah

Hello Neveh Channah students. I cannot wait to further get to know you as we embark on our adventure through literature together. It was great looking through your profiles and realizing that even though we're continents away, we still share many interests.

My name is Leah, and I turned fifteen on October 13th. I have two older siblings, Emil and Hannah. My parents were both born in Russia, and immigrated to the United States at the age of 17. Also, I have a cat, Shosha, and a dog, Roxy.

When am I not flooded with homework you can often times find me doing the following: being with my friends and family, shopping, hiking, painting, photography (mostly of nature), and playing various sports. Growing up, I began gymnastics at the age of 2. Even though it was, and remains my passion, I had to quit at the age of 10. I regret quitting, something which I rarely do, but it consumed my life and schedule. Afterwards, I did ballet and jazz for two years. Following dance, I began playing tennis, something which I love to play during my spare time.

My motto to life is, " To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funnybone" (Reba McEntire). Life is not just about dreaming and achieving, but it's also about living and enjoying. I think that those three things, are the true key to success. -Leah L.-
