My name is Charlene; however, everyone I know addresses me as "Caz".  It's easier; besides, I hate the name Charlene.  Ugh!  (I was named after a great grandmother, since deceased.  My mom named me.)  I live in Boca Raton, Florida, with my mom, dad, and two little sisters. 

I am fourteen years old.  I will be in high school (grade nine) starting a little month away from now.  I am nervous; I will soon be the bottom egg in the basket; I am scared the upper class grade kids will make fun of me, call me a baby.

I am 5' tall even; very short, not to mention, skinny.  I look no older than twelve (thirteen on a good day).  I have always been little; I take after my mom's side of the family.  I have longish, ash-blonde hair with pink stripes in it for dramatic effect, hazel eyes, and freckles sprinkled lightly across my cheeks and the bridge of my nose.  I wear braces 'cause my teeth were crooked; I still have a few years to go before I get them taken off.  *sighhh*

My favorite colors are pink, teal, and aqua; chances are if you see me, I will have either all or one of those colors on.  That or purple, which is another color I love. 

I have many interests, among them being roller skating, roller blading, skateboarding, swimming, lazing around on the beach, hanging out with my friends, shopping, going to the movies, dancing, singing, writing stories or poetry, and traveling.  (I have already been to Mexico, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, Arkansas, Georgia, Alabama, North [and South] Carolina, Missouri, Louisiana, and Oklahoma.  I would love to add Alaska to that list, although I would probably freeze to death if I went!  LOLOLOL)  In addition, I love to help out with the special-needs kids at my church on Sundays.

I go to Boca Raton Baptist Fellowship church just about every Sunday.  I love it there.  I have been a Christian, a follower of Christ, since I was ten; I got saved when our church had "Heaven's Gates and Hell's Flames".  Ever since I have been on fire for the Lord, and I was the one who led my parents to Christ.  Hopefully one day my little sisters will follow my lead and come to know Christ, too.  (My sisters are ten and eight.)

When I get older, I want to be a teacher to kids who have special needs, or maybe a veterinarian.  I love animals; we have two cats, both Ragdolls I named "Cutsie-Poo" and "Raggie".  They are soooo adorable with their light-cream colored fur and big, bright blue eyes!  I just love 'em to death!!

Well, I know this isn't much, but I have to go.  Mom is calling me; she wants me to go with her to the store.  I will write in here  again, with more of my story.  Until then, this is Caz signing outta here!  Bye for now; talk to you again!

~Love, your new friend in Florida, Caz (Charlene) Morgan Tyndale, aged 14.  :)
