Salvia,

Hello! My name is Sonya Kwiatkowski. You probably think this is a strange last name; it is even strange here in America. It is pronounced Kwi-cow-ski.

I am 16 years old and I was born on February 12, 1993 in Fremont, Ohio. I have lived here my whole life and can’t wait to go somewhere else. Fremont is a small city of about 17,000 people, and there is nothing to do here.

I live in a medium-sized house out in the country. It is brick and very pretty from the outside, but kind of small on the inside. I don’t have many neighbors around my house but the ones I do have are very nice. I live with my mother, my father, and my grandmother. I also have two brothers, Matt and Mark. They attend a university in Indiana, another state in the United States. My mother is a waitress and my father makes washing machines for a company called Whirlpool.

I am skinny and kind of short, 5 foot 3 inches. I have straight, brown hair and brown eyes. My mother was born in Korea, so I look Asian, as you can tell by my picture.

I attend Saint Joseph Central Catholic High School. I am in 11th grade. My favorite subjects are Science and Math.

My favorite sport is softball. I am the pitcher for my team here at Saint Joe. I also enjoy spending time with my friends, shopping, watching movies, going to football games, and listening to music. I enjoy alternative rock and pop music. Some of my favorite musicians are Demi Lovato, the Killers, the Jonas Brothers, and Jack’s Mannequin.

Some questions I have for you are: 1. What kind of music do you like? 2. What would you like to do when you grow up? 3. Have you ever been to the United States? What countries have you visited? 4. Do you have a job? 5. What is your favorite food?

Please reply in Spanish. I am not very good at Spanish, but I will try.

It was very nice to read your letter and I hope you enjoyed reading mine. Well that is all for now. Bye!



Hello Aurora,

My name is Alison Streacker. I am 16 years old, and in the 11th grade at St. Joseph Central Catholic High School. I am 5’6” tall; I have green eyes, and long, brown, curly hair. I am a good student and athlete. I work hard and study a lot, even though I don’t exactly love school. My favorite subjects are Math and Spanish. Sports wise, I play volleyball and power lift. I play volleyball for my school in the fall, and for a club in the winter and spring. I have been on the varsity team for three years. Power lifting is a special type of weightlifting. I am the only one at my school who does it. I practice often, and hold many records in the sport.

I live in Fremont, Ohio with my mom Lori, step-dad Mike, and younger brother Nick. My dad Greg, and step-mom Jen, live in Fremont also. I visit them on the weekend. My mom and step-dad own a used car lot in town, and they both work there. It’s called American Auto Sales. My dad owns a business that sells agricultural equipment, and it is called Streacker Tractor Sales. My step-mom doesn’t work. My brother goes to Fremont Ross High School this year. He is 15 years old, and in the 9th grade. Nick also plays sports. He is very tall, and is good at both football and basketball.

Besides playing sports, I like listening to music and hanging out with my friends. I love all kinds of music. What kind of music so you like? I honestly spend most of my time on volleyball, lifting, and school. I do things with my friends, but not on a regular basis. You said you like to stay home in your letter, and I can definitely relate. On Friday nights, I almost always stay home. I have practice after school, lifting after that, and the following morning I usually have a game, or lifting. When I do go out, my friends and I go bowling, to the movies, to sporting events, and out to restaurants. My favorite food is chicken parmesian, and I love breakfast foods. Also, we love driving around town. Most of us are fairly new drivers. Do you drive?

I tend to be a perfectionist. I worry a lot, and I’m almost always stressed out about something. My life is completely crazy, but I enjoy it. I’m looking forward to graduating high school and going to college. I’m not really sure what I want to do. There are so many things I could do! Right now, I want to be a personal trainer (weight train other people), a teacher, or an orthopedic surgeon. What makes you want to study law?

My email is streackeralison@streaks.net, or volleyqueen102000@yahoo.com

Some other questions:

Do you have any pets? What is your email? Do you have a job? Are you on Facebook?

Talk to you soon! Alison PS-Can you reply in Spanish?



Hello María! My name is Kara Hay.

I am pretty short standing 5 foot 2 inches tall, and I have long brown hair and brown eyes. My birthday is October 18, 1991 and I am 17 years old. I am very athletic, and I love to sing. I sing our national anthem at our sporting events and I sing at church on the weekends. One of my dreams is to go onto the show “American Idol” so I can become a famous singer. Although I don’t know if that will ever happen I plan on going to college next year in the field of nursing. I like to think of myself as friendly and funny.

At my school I am a senior in high school. My favorite subject is History and English. Here at school I play three sports. They are volleyball, basketball and I run track. In volleyball I am the labaro, which is a back row player who digs up hits. In basketball I am a point guard and forward. Lastly in track I run the 800-meter run which is half a mile.

I was born in Toledo Ohio. I currently live in Fremont Ohio; it is a small town of 17,000. I live with my parents Michael and Barbara Hay. My dad is in the army and my mom is a bus driver for a special needs school. I have one brother named Jacob who is 22 and married to my sister-in-law Theresa. They have one daughter, and with one more on the way.

My hobbies are playing sports, reading books, and singing. My favorite colors are pink and yellow. My favorite food is ice cream. I love to read books about events in history or fiction. My favorite fiction books right now are the “Twilight Saga”.

On the weekend I visit my boyfriend and my friends. I usually go to his football games since he is the quarterback. We also like to go to have dinner and watch movies. My favorite types of movies are scary movies. Also if I have had a very busy week I enjoy staying home with my family and two dogs to relax. I love to go shopping but I usually always spend all my money. I’d love to know more about you so here are some questions:

1. What is your favorite food? 2. What do you want your job to be, as you get older? 3. What is one of your life dreams? 4. What is your favorite color? 5. If you were an animal what would you want to be?

Hello Angela and Unai,

My name is Emily Reinhart. I am 16 years old and go to St. Joseph Central Catholic high school in Fremont, Ohio. My birthday is Jan 5. I was born here and have always lived here. I’m in the 11th grade and have been studying Spanish for three years. I’m fairly tall about 5 feet 6inches. I have blonde hair and blue eyes. Don’t mind my picture, it was very early when they took it. Fremont is a small town compared to most in the area. There are about 17,000 people who live here. There are good things about living in a small town and bad things but you can usually find something fun to do.

I live in a small neighborhood in a medium sized house, but its good for my family. I live in a two-story house with my dad, mom and little sister. My dad works for a company that repairs machines. My mom is a teacher’s aid in an elementary school in Fremont. My sister is 15 years old and she could be my twin, even though I hate to admit it. I have an older brother who’s 21, he has an apartment in Fremont.

My school is small, only about 250 students, but I like it. Even though most mornings I’d rather sleep in. I have many friends who I spend most of my time with. I like to think I’m a good student. I work hard in school so I can get scholarships for college.

I like to play volleyball for St. Joe on the varsity team. Our coach makes us work hard but it pays off because were pretty good when we actually work together. I also run track, it’s my favorite sport. I love to run and I’m good at it. It helps me to deal with things in my life and keeps me fit. Another school activity I participate in is Moch Trial. In this club we compete against other schools in pretend trials. It’s difficult but its fun at the same time.

Outside of school, I like to write a lot and read many different things. On weekends, I like to go watch our school football team play; we have only lost one game. You can usually find me spending time with my friends. Were usually just driving around town I also work at an ice cream parlor in Fremont. I eat a lot of ice cream there.

Now I have some questions for you. 1) What’s your favorite subject in school? 2) What’s your favorite kind of music and your favorite band? 3) Do you know any American artists? 4) Do you have an email? 5) Where do you want to visit and why? (P.S. please reply in Spanish I’m not very good at Spanish but I’ll try my best) Until next time, Byee!

My friends and I enjoy going to football games, dancing and singing (even though we can’t sing), and taking goofy pictures.

I am a junior, which is the 11th grade. My school has about 300 students, which is small compared to the other high school in Fremont, which has about 1,200 students or more. Just to warn you, I don’t know a lot of Spanish, so my responses may be brief.

Hello! My name is Salvia Pérez. I imagine that it may seem strange to you, many people are wrong and call me Silvia. Salvia is the name of a plant. Still I don’t know why my parents gave me this name.

I’m 15 years old, and I was born in a village called Endériz, on the thirteenth day of February in 1994.

Throughout my life, I’ve lived in some sites: first in Endériz, a small village near Pamplona, where I was born. Later I went to Burlada, and here I was one year living with another girl, who now is a good friend of mine. Then I went to live in another apartment in Burlada, near the new town-hall. Finally I moved out to a small village called Eransus, near Huarte, where I live now.

I live in a big house that my father built, because he’s a bricklayer. It’s very nice; it has two floors and a beautiful garden. Eransus is a beautiful and quiet village, but is also very boring, because it hasn’t got anything to do. There are only seven houses, and one of them got burnt six years ago. At least, in my village I’ve got two friends and when I get together with them I have a good time.

In my family there are three people: my father, my mother and I. Also there are my two dogs: Sira and Laya.

Physically I’m thin and tall. My hair is brown and wavy, and I have brown eyes.

I’m studying at Ibaialde High School in Burlada. I like very much to draw, listen to music, and go out with friends. I can stay long time drawing things, and the people usually say that I do it well. Also I like going to the cinema and do sports, and I go to run many days with one friend, or play tennis.

I could say may more anecdotes of my life, but I think that this is the most important of it.

Well, that’s all! Bye, bye!

My mother is a manager at a bank. I spend most of my time playing sports. I play football,wrestling, and baseball. Sports are big part of my life. I enjoy competing and playing them. In my spare time I enjoy hanging out with my friends and having fun. My friends mean a lot to me and I enjoy spending time with them. I also enjoy listening to music and listen to various genres. One of my favorite artist is Lil’ Wayne I have a few questions for you, but when you respond, please respond in Español.

Hello Enrique, My name is Kyle Ochs and I am a junior at SJCC. I live in a small town called Vickery. I live with my mom and dad and my sister is attending college. When I do stuff with my friends it is usually in Fremont. Fremont is a small city with not much to do so we usually just drive around and yell at people. We find this funny because the people are confused. I love music and playing guitar. My favorite kind of music is classic rock. Some of my other hobbies include hunting, fishing, and tennis. I don’t enjoy school because I hate being stuck some where for a long period of time. If I had to choose a favorite subject it would probably be math. My least favorite subject is Spanish because it is really hard for me to learn another language. Our teacher is having us ask you questions and she would like it if you respond in Spanish.

Was it hard for you to learn English?
 * 1) What do you like to do in your free time?
 * 2) Do you play any instruments?
 * 3) What sports do you play?
 * 4) Would you rather fly or be invisible?

Hello, David Equiza! My name is Adam Culbert. I am seventeen years old and I attend Saint Joseph Central Catholic High School (SJCC) in Fremont, Ohio. Fremont is a small city and there is not much to do. It has many things that are not necessary, such as multiple banks, gas stations, pharmacies, and pizza restaurants. I was born on May 6, 1992. I live with my parents, one younger brother, and three dogs. My two older sisters are now in college. My parents’ names are Brad and Patty, my sisters’ names are Marisa and Dana, and my dogs’ names are Madi, Tawny, and Gizmo. My brother’s name is Isaac, but some of his friends call him Spike, just like your dog. What a coincidence! Some of the extracurricular activities I am involved in include swimming, running, and being part of various clubs, such as Mock Trial, Key Club, and The Link. In Mock Trial, students simulate court cases. In Key Club, we have opportunities to help out in the community. The Link is a group of teens that speak out against drugs and other destructive decisions that kids are faced with today. I like to listen to modern rock music and I am learning how to play guitar. Learning can be pretty tough! I like to hang out with my friends when I am not working. I work in a family-owned convenience store called Chud’s. Chud’s is owned by my aunt and uncle on my mother’s side of the family. Her maiden name is Chudzinski, but that would have been a long title for a store! Chud’s is also a restaurant, so people can eat there, too. Before I go on about myself, I’d like to know more about you. Do you play any sports? What kind of music do you listen to? What do you do in your free time? What do you want to do when you get older? Are you involved in extracurricular activities? Please reply in Spanish. A challenge would really help me to learn. I hope to hear from you soon!
