My name is Gunnel.  Gunnel Hildegarde Johanssenn.  I am 11 years old.  I live with my family north of Stockholm, in the country of Sweden.

I have long blonde hair and blue-grey eyes.  I am very fair-skinned; a lot of my family members are.  A lot of us are also very tall.  I am 11 years old, but I am already taller than my mother (and she is five-seven!!).

I have two brothers (Karl and Olaf; they're 13 and 14) and two sisters (Ericka and Nathalie; they're ten and six).  In addition, there's also mama and papa, and our grandmammi, whom we call Dear.  We also have three cats, all Norwegian Foreest cats; two are grey, and the remaining cat is a creamy white colour.

Their names are Georg and Astrid (the two grey ones), and the third one is named Rosamunde (the white one).  I love them all, but my favourite is Astrid because she purrs practically nonstop, and she loves snuggling up with me when I go to bed for the night.

I have some good friends at school; my best friends are named Brigid and Karin.  I am in year six; my instructor's name is Mrs. Olmundsenn, and she is very kind.  I love her!

In the summer and spring months, I love to pick flowers or play around in the dirt (I got my love for flowers from my mama and from Dear), and go swimming; meanwhile, in the winter, I love watching the northern lights, snow skiing, and romping around in the snow with my family and friends.  I also love listening to Kaitlyn Maher, David Militello, and Justin Bieber (he's hot!!) and drawing, as well as writing. 

I am a typical girl, even though I live in Sweden.  I speak Swedish, French, German, Norwegian, Finnish, and English fluently.  I am very, very smart.  At school, I am in the GAT (Gifted and Talented) program.  Only the smartest kids get to be in it.  At school, I get all A's.  I love school!!

When I grow up I want to be a writer, a veterinarian (animals are another thing I adore; guess having three cute little cats help! LOL), a singer, or a lawyer.  I wonder if I could be all four at once.  LOL

Well, I have to go.  Time to go to bed; the day is nearly over here in Sweden.  I will write more later.  Until later, take care and may God bless you!

~Love, your new friend in Sweden, Gunnel H. Johanssenn.  :)
