Sarah

= Hi, my name is Sarah and I’m 16 years old. My favorite places are Rehoboth Beach, Delaware and New York City. My family has been going to Delaware during summer vacation for three years now. It’s a small town with cute little shops and a beautiful beach. I have to admit, I hate swimming but I love lying in the warm sun, tanning, and relaxing. While Rehoboth Beach is a place I visit with my family, New York City is a place that I often go to with my friends. Although I never managed to figure out how to navigate the city alone, I can name plenty of places that I love to go to. One of my favorite things to do in the city is to rent a rowboat in Central Park. Times Square, of course, is one of the most exciting places to go to. The MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) is a really interesting place too. I also love Soho– it has the coolest stores. =

= I do not have many hobbies. I’m not athletic at all. My only hobby is studying piano, which I have been doing for ten years now. I don’t like playing in front of an audience. Playing piano is more for myself. It’s a challenge to learn a new piano piece, and it is especially challenging to find time to practice while dealing with school work, but in the end, finishing a piano piece is a rewarding accomplishment. =

= The value that is most important to me is honesty. I believe that being dishonest is the easiest way to lose someone’s respect. Another important value to me is independence and originality, which is why this quote from one of my favorite movies, 500 Days of Summer, describes me well. “Tom: ‘Nobody likes Ringo Starr.’ Summer: ‘That’s what I love about him.’” I am more likely to be intrigued by something less popular, rather than something more popular. =
