My name is Perla and I am an AVID student and 7th grader at Laguna Middle School. I live with my mom, dad, 2 older brothers, and soon a baby brother. I have a stepbrother, but he doesn't live with us. I don't have any pets because where I live we can't have any pets. If we were allowed to have pets I would have a dog, preferably a small one. Something that nobody knows about me is that I love to paint. I think my friends don’t know that I love to paint because I am very bad at it, but it is fun. I don’t do anything after school because I have never liked sports. I like to go downtown with my mom on the weekends because I like to shop with her.
