My Birthday
I am 14 years old, and I am in 8th grade. I should be in High School, but my parents put me in kindergarden when I was six. I was born in Chester County, Pennsylvania. My family are very musically talented. My dad is a really good singer, my sister plays Cello, and I also love to sing, play guitar, and I used to play violin. On the other hand, my mom can't sing to save her life, and my little brother is only 5. We love music and our family, and we wouldn't be able to live without it.
