Hi! My name is James Whitehead and Im 14 years old. I live in

Ogden, Utah. I go to school from Monday to Friday, from nine in
the morning until four in the afternoon
with my sister Kathy. She is 15 and
even though we are very different we
are very close. After classes I go back
home riding my bike, I always ride my
bike. When I get home I always eat a
snack, something healthy of course
because I want to be an athlete,
sometimes I eat a fruit like an apple or
a banana or maybe a fruit salad and
some cereal or a glass of milk. After
that I go to the sports center in my
town, and swim for one hour. There I meet my friends who
practice other sports like football, basketball and tennis. Kathy
loves all girls stuffs. She often goes shopping with mom and her
friends, after school, she always reads magazines specially
SEVENTEEN. She also likes sports but she practices roller-skating.
She usually puts on her rollers and goes skating everywhere. Later
in the evening I do yoga with my mom, it is very relaxing. Before
going to bed sometimes we watch TV or play a video game.
On weekends my Mom cooks our favorite food: tacos. Kathy
sleeps late and then surf in the web or practices her performances
as a ballerina. I always take some time for rest of everything, so I
read a book, or listen to music. I like heavy metal. Metallica is my
favorite, the same as my Dad. But Kathy
loves One Direction and Bruno Marz.
