My name is Vivienne Noelle Ward and I was born on September 20, 2010 in Brooklyn, New York. Although I was born and raised here, my family traces back to Puerto Rico, Jamaica, China, India, Panama, and The Virgin Islands. I enjoy listening to music, preferably R&B, hip hop, k-pop and afro beats, as well as dancing and singing. I also partake in step/dance competitions. My top favorite singers are Melanie Martinez, Aaliyah, Tyler the Creator, SZA, Metro Boomin, Brent Frayiaz and Selena. My favorite color is pastel blue and my favorite number is twenty. I am genuinely an extroverted person and always try to light up a room with my bubbly energy. I always strive to spread kindness, as well as trying to receive it back. My favorite foods are sushi, fried chicken, ramen, and dumplings. Being a senior has been interesting so far and I hope to have an amazing year. I aspire to attend Midwood High School and soon go to either NYU in Manhattan or Hofstra University. I aspire to be a veterinarian and just overall be happy and satisfied with my life the future has to offer.

My name is Jean and Something about me is that my favorite colors are red, black and blue, I am 13 years old turning 14 on February 15. I love to play basketball and it's my dream to make it into the league one day, I had a good summer this year. I mostly spent my summer working out and improving for basketball, So far my feelings about 8th grade is that I'm excited because we're the oldest and I know this year will be the best out of all of my middle school years. This year I'm looking forward to the senior activities and the trips, I'm also kind of excited to take the regents and hopefully I will pass them. But overall I am very excited to see what this school year has planned for me and I hope it’s going to be a good year for me and everyone else.

Something about me is that I want to become a criminal justice lawyer. I love animals, I have three cats. My favorite colors are blue and red. My birthday is July 7. I have a half brother who lives on Long island. I love being outside with my friends and family. I don't really have a favorite subject in school. I like watching scary, reality, and funny shows. My summer was good. I went to the beach and pool a lot. I like 8th grade, but I feel the same. I don't know what college I want to go to yet.

My name is Gracey and my interests are horror, Dance Moms, playing roblox (Bloxburg and Royale High specifically), watching K-Dramas, K-Pop, food, true crime, crafting, dancing, hanging out with friends, and relaxing. I have a cat named Bella and a guinea pig named Cookie. Foods that I like the most are Haitian food, chicken, baked mac and cheese, salad, and much more. I like to socialize but I’m also an introvert. I’ve been known in all of my classes to be a very bright and smart person.  I’m stronger in math than in ELA. I like to take napsand when I do, they’re usually 3 or more hours long. I have a little sister that goes to this school and she’s in sixth grade. I also want to become a nurse or an anesthesiologist.

My summer this year wasn’t bad but not amazing either. I went on a road trip to Connecticut.  I also went to amusement parks and hung out with my friends. I mostly stayed home and relaxed because it was too hot to go outside in my opinion.

Personally, I don’t feel like an eighth grader yet, I still feel like I’m in seventh grade. But so far, it’s cool. I’m fine with the teachers but the schedule is kind of weird to me since we don’t have an enrichment class, but instead go to the gym two times on Friday.

Something about myself is that I love kpop, I love music, and I love stray kids, nmixx, blackpink, enhyphen and much more. I love listening to music while in the car with the window open. My birthday is December 2nd. I like singing. I love horses, I wanna go horseback riding. I didn't really do anything this summer. I feel that the eighth grade would be overwhelming. I don't even know what middle school I wanna go to.. So I haven't really thought of what career I want in the future. I thought that I'd be stuck with a job I don't enjoy doing for the rest of my life and I'd have to live with it. But it’ll still be hard to know what middle school I want to go to, or what job I would want to do in the future. It'll be hard with the short amount of time I have left until highschool, but I'll figure it out. Now that I know i have choices.

Bangladesh and I grew up there. I came to the USA last year. I am Muslim. I live in Ocean Ave(near Midwood). I speak Bengali, English , can read Arabic(can’t write/speak and only understand a few words ), understand 2 more languages(but can’t read or write it) and slightly know about a few other languages. I like History, Geography, Technology , etc. I am not sure what I am gonna become when I grow up, but I’m interested in politics and history. My hobbies are drawing/sketching, playing video games, traveling, playing soccer(football) and studying history. I also like to have pets, but don’t have any right now. I like listening to historic marches and phonk songs. When I finish high school, I would like to go to either Harvard or Columbia University. The colors I like is black, Red, blue and green. My summer was great and I feel really good being an 8th grader.

My favorite colors are baby blue, baby pink, and baby yellow. My favorite number is 17 and my favorite season is winter because I was born on January 17th. I adore abstract art and love the process of making films and watching movies in general. With that being said, in the future I want to be a part of a film crew, I wouldn’t even care what position I would be in, I'd just be overjoyed to work on the film. However I’d prefer to be a director, animator, or the person in charge of the screenplay. If you asked me 3 months ago what I wanted to do in the future I would say that I would want to work in politics because I would want to help make changes in the country that can  be beneficial to everybody.

My favorite subject in school is math and Ela. I like math because just doing the work problems makes me calm in a way even if the work is difficult, however I feel like I’m stronger in Ela. I enjoy Ela because I think it’s nice to read different stories and think about what a certain character’s perspective is. In school I don't really participate much because I don’t like the way I speak. I am an INFP-T (mediator) which stands for introvert, intuition, feeling, prospecting, and turbulent. I have 4 close friends and a little brother named Caleb who is 5. I still feel like a 7th grader and I properly will still feel like that until November maybe. I'm not really excited about 8th grade because that means next year I’m going to high school but I think this year will be fun.  I love being around my aunt and cousins on my moms side since I am closest to them. I look forward to you teaching us this year!

My name is Ellie Persad and I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. My birthday is December 2nd, 2010 and my favorite colors are light yellow and light blue. I have two siblings, an older sister, Emily, who I call Emma, and a little brother, Joshua. Both my parents are from Trinidad & Tobago with Indian and Guyanese roots. I also have a german shepherd named Storm. During the summer, my family and I went up to Roscoe, New York. Up there, we stayed in my grandparents cabin. In Roscoe, there are big mountains along with beautiful forests and wildlife. I enjoy Guyanese and Trinidadian food. I also like trying new foods from different countries.

Being an 8th grader, I feel that I am not ready yet because I still feel like a 7th grader. It feels as if my time being in middle school went by quickly. I’m just not ready yet to be in high school. When I go to high school I want to be somewhere close to home even though I don’t get homesick that often. Probably to Edward Murrow High school or Midwood High school. For college I really want to get into John Jay College of Criminal Justice because I want to do forensic science when I grow up. I find that solving crimes and solving mysteries really interesting so I’d like to do that when I’m older. Thank you for reading and I’m excited to have you as an ELA teacher!

I would say that I am outgoing and fun to be around. I love to go outside, and with that being sad I had an amazing summer. I was outside 24/7 and tried new things. I went on trips and used all of my free time to try new things but I don't really like change. I'm not a person of change but sometimes I think change can be good. Who wouldn't be excited to be an 8th grader, this means my hard work has paid off. I love animals. I have two myself. My favorite color is blue and my birthday is on October 27. I loveeee spanish food. I plan to be a real estate agent or work in cosmetology. I'm not sure what my future holds but I just hope I am successful and choose the right paths in life. To sum up this “All about me” paragraph I can’t wait to learn new things and see what my future holds. I plan to work hard and graduate to a great highschool.

All about me

My name is Madiline, I live in New York and my favorite store/place to go is Daiso or Japan Village and my favorite colors are pink, purple and light blue. I'm 12 years old and I'm turning 13 in December, I don't really know what I'm going to do for my birthday yet but I want to go to a Korean restaurant. My summer was kind of boring because I didn't really do much other than my aunt visiting and going to six flags. In the future, I want to be a veterinarian, get my own car and hopefully own a house. I really like k-dramas, japanese food, listening to music, drawing (sometimes), and playing video games but I haven’t gotten to do that over the summer since my brother keeps on playing on our electronics without permission and my parents took them away, (we share our electronics but I have my own tablet).

All about me

My summer was pretty good to begin with, I traveled to Alabama on a road trip. Most people in the west are very nice, even strangers. Also most food tastes better in Alabama. I’m a gamer of all consoles and games, playing every day. My goal is I want to be a future veterinarian to help animals plus the pay is great. Being in an eighth grader feels like it should be easy, but most likely not. I’m not really a person who talks to others but I’ll talk more this year. I’m an animal person having pets from the past and future. I have driven cars, motorcycles. I would like to travel west and temporarily join the army.

One thing about myself is that I love to stay in my house and play some games and go to sleep for the whole day. Sometimes I even play some chess when I feel like it by myself. My mom works all day so I have to find things to do and my grandmother has to write recommendations so I'm all alone. My birthday is March 19th, I’m a Pisces and I’m proud for some odd reason. My future goal is to become a manga artist. My summer was good though because I got to go to coney island and to Dubai. I feel sad and sort of relieved, I feel relieved because I get to graduate and never see half the annoying people in this school ever again. However, I feel sad because I have to see all my friends go and don’t have anyone’s number. That is all about me.

My favorite color is turquoise and I was born on July 18 2010. I like to watch tv and watch Ig reels. I feel like 8th grade is going to be fun for how it's been so far. I do feel worried about the regents though. I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up yet but if I had to choose I would be a veterinarian because I love animals and I have 9 cats and 2 dogs . I live very close to the school and have been here since 6th grade. My summer was kind of boring because I stayed inside a lot and I only went out a little bit. I like living near the school and I will be sad when I have to leave . I have made a lot of friends in this school and met new teachers. However I feel like this grade is going to be fun

About me

I like the color green and cars. We went fishing over the summer and caught a lot of fish. I feel as an 8th grader like it's going to be hard this school year for math. I also played video games this summer and our birthday is on stempeter 15. I want to be a youtuber, garabge man or vetaneritan.

Something about me is that I'm a very cool and friendly person and I always like to laugh. Some people may mistake me as the mean angry person who likes to fight but that's not true at all. I'm friendly but I can get angry really fast when someone does something I don't like. I also love learning about finance and being a real estate agent when I get older. My favorite thing to do is watch movies and be outside with my friends only because it helps me get out of my mad/sad mental state. I don't really have a subject in school. I just feel like I'm good at ELA.

My name is Safwan Advi and something about myself is that I am Libra. When I grow up I wanna major and pursue my career in Architecture. This summer vacation was okay but it wasn’t the best when compared to the past years. I haven’t really done anything interesting this summer except go to Canada which was not really interesting due to me already visiting Canada a couple times before. I feel stressed as an 8th grader because of the harder subjects such as Algebra, Living Environment, and US History.  I also have a lot of tests such as the SHSAT, and 3 regents. This is what I wanna do in the future and how I feel as an 8th grader.

# data[].attributes.body
Something I know about myself  is that I like to draw. It's a shame that I don't go there anymore in the 8th grade. My summer was a lot more exciting than my usual ones. I got to see the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem movie that came out last month, I got to try cookies and cream and I even got to go bowling! My new semester as an 8th grader is getting better every day, as long as I make sure to be careful. I encountered some big issues last year so I want to make a better impression this year, including the fact my sister is in this school.  Overall, I can wait to see what awaits me this year.

# data[].attributes.body
Some things about me are that my favorite color is blue, my favorite subject used to be science but now my favorite subject is ela,my favorite number is 3, my dream college is Duke, i hope to get a basketball scholarship and my dream to make it to the league(nba) and be one of the best players . I love to play basketball. I had a good summer, I love playing  basketball during the summer, I went to Florida to see family and have fun, and I played video games when I was bored. So far my feelings on 8th grade are exciting because 8th grade means you are the oldest in the building but you have the most responsibility, but I can’t wait to go on the senior trip. Also my goal for 8th grade is to pass all the regions this year.

I was born in Brooklyn on June 2nd. One thing I love to do is play video games. The only thing I do in my free time is play video games. During the summer I had a lot of fun because I could play video games for the whole day. What I want to be in the future is an aerospace engineer. I want to be an aerospace engineer because I think it would be fun to make a helicopter but it would also be very difficult to make something like that. I also love animals, I have a cat named Rancho and he is a tuxedo cat.

Dear Mrs. Brizard, my name is Toma Meskhi and I'm 12 years old turning 13 on December 9thand I live inBrooklyn, New York,  and one thing you should know is that I am interested in a lot of things. But, to start off I like mathematics, physics, science, technology, history, and engineering. In addition, I am also very interested in cars and planes, I also like to dress myself nicely every-day before I come to school. What I want to become when I grow up is either an engineer, business-man, or and NBA player. My summer was fun and mesmerizing while I was spending time with my friends. Now as a 8th grader, I feel mature and in high class but so far I am having fun! And I also have a black cat. She's 3 months old.

I consider myself a pretty normal person. I do have two abnormal siblings, one who is my older sister and another who is my little brother. We were all born in Brooklyn, although our parents were born and raised in Pakistan! A hobby of mine that I do enjoy is sketching. I find it calming after a long week. My biggest pet peeve is the sound of chewing, which I think a lot of people find irritating. Due to being more of a laid back person, I spent most of my summer with my family, or at home. Now that I'm an eighth grader-I feel more motivated to succeed, as this is my final year in middle school. As of right now, I see myself as a doctor or educator in the future.

Elijah J. Gervasi-Franklin All About Me 9/12/2023 8-322 I.S.381

My summer was great because me and my family went fishing and my parents caught some big fish. During the summer we got 4 new pets and the pets  that we got are 3 birds and 1 baby crested gecko. Before we had a leopard gecko, fish, and an adult crested gecko.  I feel good about being an 8th grader because I will graduate at the end of the school year. I would like to be a veterinarian so I can see different animals and cure them. If I was a veterinarian then I would make a lot of money helping animals.

This year I have been getting more fit and my summer helped me make a lot more progress as a I had done it. This year has been really helpful for shaping the person i am. I think that i am pretty empathetic and i am mostly an introvert. I also think i am smart because i won 7 shsat bases competitions in a row and won 65$. I love foods like gyro or fast food; My favorite fruits are, pears, watermelon, mangos, lichi, ect. My main  dream is to become a professional soccer player and join the moroccan national team; it is one of my main passions and if you are a really good player you could get a contract of up too 150m a year! I also wanna join the spanish soccer club: Real Madrid. In the summer an a few month before that i have been practicing and participating in different soccer games. In my opinion i have been doing pretty well compared to some of the players who are 4+ years older than me.

Some things I like are reading, painting, watching movies, and listening to music. Additionally, I love to dance and step with my friends. What I want to do as a profession is the performing arts, to be specific I want to either do musical theater or dance. I do not know what makes me feel like an eighth grader, but I do kind of feel like one. I turned thirteen this summer and had a fun party with a couple of my friends. My favorite color has to be purple, however green and blue come in second and third respectively. I am very extroverted and have many different friend groups of different ages. I’ve been told I'm a very likable person and am ambitious to learn all subjects, I do hate math to be honest. I have two pet cats that are both male.
