I am playing with my dog, Charlie, in the back yard of my home. A cloud floated by that looked like a bunny rabbit to me. Taking care of animals is important to me, because I love them and want to protect them.

I am petting my dog.

Rivers and canals run through Jacksonville; I live in a suburb north of the city. I live in a house with my foster mom and foster dad and three other children. In my free time, I play catch with my dog. I also go to choir practice at church. When I grow up, I want to be the recycling man that drives the truck to all the neighborhoods. To help preserve my community environment, I recycle and throw away trash.
