About mariahneu
I am 13 years old, my birthday's on October 5th, and I'm from the USA. I write poems and short stories in my spare time. I also play sports like volleyball, golf, basketball, and tennis. I have a chocolate lab named "Jake" that's about 5 years old, and 4 unnamed goldfish that are about 4 years old. I've got a younger brother that's 11, and my two parents that are totally awesome and are still alive and kickin'. :D
I like to hang out with my friends every chance I get. One of my friends is the only friend that plays 2 of the same sports as I do - Golf and Volleyball, so we go play golf together a couple times a month, and we both work at a golf course as well; it's so fun to help the little kids learn to play golf. :D My other friends are also awesome as well; my friends are all puzzle pieces - they all have their own personalities which fill in for the qualities that I do not have. I feel bad that I have a lot of acquaintances at school, and I'd really like to know them all better, but sometimes I don't like talking to people outside of my group because I don't know them very well, but then that's how you meet new people, so now I don't know what I'm supposed to do! My friends all mostly make new friends, and then we all hang-out together, so we all become friends. :)
I have at least 15 websites, but none of them compare to the likes of BT4T because of all of the help that most of the staff have done to help keep BT4T alive! :D
I won a poetry slam at my public library in April. I also won the Young Writers' Poetry Contest in my region as well. I was also chosen as a Top 10 Poet in my region in the Creative Communications Poetry Contest, and was published in their Spring 2007 Poetry Compilation. I am also being published in the summer poetry contest as well, and am awaiting news as to whether or not I am chosen as a Top 10 Poet.
I have a 4.0 GPA and I strive to get good grades in all of my classes. My favorite school subjects are English and Geography/History, and my least favorite subject is Math. I won my school spelling bee and advanced all the way to regionals (6th place at regionals; 5th place to go to state) this past school year. I have received the Presidential Award of Excellence in 06' and 07'. I also have played the tenor saxophone for 3 years and counting, and I was chosen to be in the All-State MN Honor Band in 2006. I've also been in choir since 3rd grade (5 years), and I auditioned to be in the All-State MN Honor Choir this year, but I didn't make it... :(
