Howdy!!  My name is Rocket.  Rocket Moon Eschere.  I am eight years old; I live with my family in Costa Mesa, California.  I am in the second grade at Costa Mesa Elementary School; I love school.

I have four brothers (Cosmo, Saturn, Jupiter, and Aeric), and two sisters (Aurora and Neptune; we call her Tina).  My parents love astromony; that is why we all have "spacey" nicknames.  LOL  (Our parents have normal nicknames:  Mike and Ermadel.)  I'm in the middle.

I have two cats ("Venus" and "Mars") and one dog, a Lhasa Apso named "Comet".  Besides my brothers and sisters, my pets are my best friends.

Oh, I have human friends.  It's not like I have any.  My best friend is Jamie Wilhoite; he's in my class, and we're together a lot; if not at school, we always play together on the weekends or on days where we don't have school.

I'm also pals with Quigley Paxton.  He's from Australia; he talks like Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter!  I think he's cool!  He's my other best friend; I can listen to him talk all day!

Besides playing with my friends, I love to read (I'm a voracious reader; I read at a junior high level; I am very smart!), draw, write stories, play football/soccer, baseball, and cricket (Quigley taught me how to play), and of course watch the stars in the nighttime sky (who wouldn't with a name like "Rocket"??  LOL).

When I grow up, I want to be one of two things:  an astronaut or a astrologer, or a meteorologist.  That's another thing I love:  watching weather and storms; I think tors (tornadoes) are especially exciting!!

Well, I am going to go:  have to eat supper.  I will write in here again soon; until then, take care and God bless!

~Love, your new friend in California, Rocket Moon, aged eight.
