How many postings have you been on?

Two. I was born in Atlanta, Georgia. and then we moved to Ireland
and I was in St. Brigid’s Girls School until senior infants. Then we

had to move to Chile because Dad’s work wanted him to. And now I

go to Craighouse School.

Which was your favourite? Why?

America. Because my Mar-Mye and Dar-Dye [grandparents] live
there.

What do you like or hate the most about moving? How does it make

you feel?

I don’t like moving because it takes a long time to sort out all the

stuff. And I don’t like it because I miss my old class, but I have a
few new friends here. Moving makes me feel happy and sad.

Tell us one story you remember as being your most

exciting/daunting experience.

It was really exciting doing the tests at my new school [for

admissions], but I didn’t really speak any Spanish at first. It’s
easier now to understand. I think after four years I will speak very

good Spanish.
