     A boy shares his story.

Howdy, from Denver, Colorado!

My name is Phoenix Drake O'Brian.  I am ten years old and just about done with fourth grade.  I'll be in fifth grade come Fall.

I have a nice family.  I have my Dad, my step-mom, my big sister, Romona, who is 13, and little sister, Morgan, who is 6.  I have three step-brothers, Henry, 11, Thane, 8, and Cody, 3. 

My dad left my mom two years ago, because Mom cheated on Dad.  Dad remarried Carolyn last year.  She's okay, but she's not Mom.  She acts more like a mom than my real one did. 

Mom has a lot of problems.

I like to do many things:  play hackysack, basketball, baseball, football, and soccer with my step-brothers and with my friends.  I like to draw, read, write stories, watch movies or the Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel, skateboard, snow ski, snowboard, go sledding, play hockey, ice skate, swim, play tennis and go to kid's church every week.

As you can see, I get plenty of exercise and keep active, so I am pretty fit.

When I grow up, I would like to be a professional athlete or writer, in case sports doesn't work out.

I have lived in Colorado all my life.  I love it here.  The mountains, the clean smell of the air, the wildlife and the seasons.  I also like to see the Northern Lights.

Well, I hate to run, but I have homework to do.  I will write in here soon.  Until then, this is Phoenix saying 'So long!' and God bless!

~ Phoenix.
