Hello everyone! My name is Georgia. I am in Grade 8.
What makes me unique? Let's see. My family comes from Greece. I was born there. Nobody else in my school comes from Greece! That makes me unique.
I've been in Canada for seven and a half years. My grandparents,aunts,uncles and cousins still live in Greece. My sister is a basketball player in Canada. But she sometimes returns to Greece to play for the Greek National Basketball Team.
Playing basketball is my main talent,too. When I was in Grade 6,I played for the junior high basketball team. I was the youngest player. We did very well last year. We lost only two games.
Once,we played against a team from another city. The game was almost over,and the score was fifty-one to fifty-one.
A player on my team passed me the ball. I was too far from the basket. Could I put the ball into the basket? I tried,and the ball went in! The final score was fifty-four to fifty-one. We won! We felt proud of ourselves.
My dream is to play basketball in the Olympics. I'd like to go to university,too. My parents want me to study medicine,but I want to continue taking
P.E. What sport would I study? Basketball,of course!
