Introduction

People call me Sierra - nothing more, nothing less. I am fourteen years old and in the ninth grade in Honolulu, Hawaii. I live with my family of four - my mom, my dad, my brother, and myself. My mom and my dad are immigrants from South Korea and they currently own three stores selling clothing products, jewelry, sunglasses, Etc. My brother, Harrison, is thirteen years old and is in the seventh grade, and attends the same school as me. He enjoys playing tennis and basketball and his favorite subject is math.

My favorite subject is English. I like English because I enjoy reading and writing and it's a subject where there is never one answer to anything, like math, and there are many ways to express ideas and opinions on different issues and topics. I also like learning Japanese because it gives me a chance to learn part of a new culture and compare it to the life I live. Reading is one of my hobbies and I try my best to keep it at a balance with my school work. I read at least a book every week and my room is basically my own personal library. I enjoy reading all types of books but my least favorite and one that I wouldn't read unless necessary are scary stories. I remember when many of my classmates used to read R.L. Stine, and I never personally took those books into interest. The reason why I enjoy reading is because it takes me to another world another place, and lets me adventure that land, or it let's me look at someone else's life through their eyes. Reading helps me expand my imagination and has made me the creative person that I am today.

I also love playing the piano. I started playing the piano when I was three, and I'm not a professional and haven't really tried for competitions but I love how my fingers can fly on the keyboard making a beautiful sound. Playing the piano is not only enjoyable but teaches me how to be patient, expressive, and hardworking.
Another hobby of mine is watching movies, Ever since I was ten I used to walk every Saturday from where I take piano, to the theaters and well watch a movie. I like movies that have a lot going on, and make people think and contemplate about what's happening or what's going to happen or what happened. I also like movies that are extremely funny and can't make you stop laughing, these movies help people forget about their worries and put them in a happier place.

People say that I am loquacious, thoughtful, funny, blunt, creative, intelligent, daring, and much more and I have to say that I agree with them because those qualities have made me who I am today.
