My name is Anni-Fredericka Paulsen.  I am ten years old and live win Kenosha, Wisconsin, with my family.  I have a mom and a dad, two younger sisters (Keirsten and Ericka, who are 9 and 7), and two brothers, Olaf and Soren, who are three and thirteen.  We also have five cats, all Persians, named "Smokey", "Champaign", "Henry-The-Eighth", "Snowy", and "Fuzz-Butt".

I am in the fourth grade.  My teacher is Mrs. Szaswinsky.  I make good grades in all my classes.  At school, my best friend is Sook Mee Kim; we've been the best of friends since kindergarten.  School is okay, but I'd much rather spend my time having fun.  Hey: I'm a kid!

When I grow up, I want to be a policewman or a CSI (crime scene investigator).  I think both jobs would be exciting and very interesting. 

When I am not with my family or at school, I like to do many different things.  I like to read, draw, write stories, dance, do gymnastics, play soccer, baseball, softball, or field hockey, snow ski, swim, go fishing, watch "America's Got Talent", "American Idol", and "The Voice" on television, go to church every Sunday and Wednesday, and sing.

Sorry this is sho short, but writing about myself is a lot harder than it looks.  Hope you liked what I wrote.  I will write again; take care and God bless!  This is Anni-Fred Paulsen saying so long for now!  Take care!
