Nihao! Wo shi Carrie, Ni jiao shunme mingzi? I am a student from Avonworth Middle School. I am 12 years old and I am currently in 7^th grade. My mom’s side of the family lives in Taiwan, and I have visited them several times so I have many experiences there. Many of my cousins, aunts, uncles, and my grandparents live in Taiwan. Some live in Taipei and some live in Ilan. My immediate family consists of me, my little sister, my dad, and my cat, Nini. I am a competitive swimmer and some of my hobbies are reading, watching TV, swimming, and my mom teaches me Chinese. I am really excited to talk to you guys because I think it’s cool to communicate with kids our age in a different country. :)
