A boy with an unusual name shares his story.
|
My name is Belvedere Owen Potter. I am ten years old.
I live with my family in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, which is near Cleveland. I was born in Cleveland, but moved to Cuyahoga Falls when I was about a year or two old. I've lived here ever since. I am in the fourth grade. I go to a private school.
I have one sister and one brother. I'm stuck right in the middle. My brother Ian is eight; my sister, Anastasia, meanwhile, is older. She is 13 years old. I get along with my brother okay, but Anastasia is too bossy; it seems that we're always fighting about something.
I love to do many things, inclduing going ice skating, snow skiing, tobogganing, or ice fishing in the winter, swimming, running, playing baseball, riding my bicycle (or 4-wheeler), or skateboarding in the summer, playing basketball, football, or tennis in the fall, or playing soccer or hackysack in the spring with my friends, watching tv, playing video games on the computer, playing with my Wii system, going on nature hikes, or going to Cedar Point Amusement Park, or to places like the Science Museum, the Art Museum, the Cleveland Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Cleveland Zoo, or to the Air Show, or to the library.
I am a very active kid, as you can see. I have a very happy life (unless you count Anastasia bossing me around or fighting, that is, which drives Mom and Dad positively NUTS!!).
When I grow up, I want to be an aeronautics engineer or perhaps join the military (Marines).
My parents are agnostic. Basically, that means we believe in something, but we're just not sure what. We know something is out there, but we just don't acknowledge that there is even a god. As a result, we don't go to church.
I don't like to talk about religion because it only confuses me. So I stay mum about the subject altogether.
Well, I hate to run, but I have to change to the next class, which happens to be Science. My favorite!!
I hope you enjoyed reading my story. I will write at a later date; until then, this is Belvedere Potter saying so long! Talk to you later!
~Belvedere.
