Hello, my name is Thomas, but my friends call me “Tom.”   I am 15

years old and in the 10th grade in school.  I live in Augusta WV, about 13

miles from Hampshire High School.  I have 5 sisters; their names are Stacy,

who is 21 years old, Sabrina, who is 18, Ariel, who is 9, and Mary, who is 7,

and I have no brothers.  I have a dog and lots and lots of cats.  I like listening

to music (many types), playing card games, play basketball, but most of all, I

like to party.  I can speak basic Italian and German.

            I am really looking forward to meeting you.  I‘ve always wanted to

go to Italy.  I think I’ll have a good time in Italy.  I’ve heard it’s a nice place. 

My sister, Sabrina has already gone to Italy.  She told me it is a nice place,

but I want to experience it for myself. I’ll see you in Spring.

                   Ciao,

                    Tom
