Selena E., Staff Writer

Heyyyyyy! My name is Selena. I’m 13 years old almost 14 soon!!!This is my 11th year at this school and I’m having a blast! My best friends call me “sele” or as one bestie in particular likes to say “SELENA NO MIDDLE NAME [last name]”! *cough cough Fabi cough* In case you're wondering…yea no middle name for me. Don’t ask why because I don't even know! Some hobbies I have or just things I LOVE are soccer ⚽, arts and crafts, baking, cooking, readingggg , music, MESSI, TAYLOR SWIFT , and all of my friends that have been here for me! I’ve been doing soccer most of my life besides gymnastics (which I quit). I really love doing soccer, it’s probably my biggest passion. My favorite color is obviously blue…duh. My favorite season is fall or autumn because it’s just beautiful the way the world changes. I definitely read A LOT! My favorite book or series I’ve read is either Percy Jackson or the Selection. I would definitely recommend both. “Once you learn the ways of the chicken you truly become the chicken…becaahh!” *cue the chicken head bops* - Me :)))) “ *gasp* THIRTEEN! *another gasp* TWENTY TWOOOOO!!” - Me again ;) and Fabi :)
