Sadly my person Lexi was sick, but never fear I got Alejandro……Yay!!!!!! If you’re reading this Alejandro thank you. I hope you think you’re welcome, but then what am I welcome too? I have always wondered about that. Any Alejandro and I did family stories that were pretty entertaining to new ears, but annoying to our families (sorry you missed it Lexi) My family story (Sharifa Story) was about my horrific trombone story and Alejandro was about his long ride to Delaware.

Back For Seconds: Hanna.
Well, it’s your dear Hanna here. Everybody welcome to Digital Story Telling, numero dos . I hope you all enjoy this program, but lets get to the main point: me.
I am Hanna Saavedra, a freshman at Poughkeepsie High school. I play on the Varsity Tennis team, am involved in Gay Straight Alliance, and strive to be the awesomest bassist of my generation. I like cats, a lot. I have 3 cats, Jojo, Bella, and Peaches. My favorite color is red. I am mexican. My favorite bands are Falling in Reverse, NeverShoutNever, Asking Alexandria, and others. Yet, my most favorite band of all time is My Chemical Romance. I like to watch Regular Show and The Amazing World Of Gum ball. I also watch Adventure Time, but no too often because I start crying. I can never grow my hair past my shoulders. A few years ago my mother and I got hair cuts. I got my hair trimmed to my chin, and my mother got a really short pixie cut, I still havent cut my hair since then, yet my moms hair is now longer than mine. I also plan to be a licensed Anesthesiologist, and a bee farmer. I then want to open a Transvestite clothing shop. My favorite food is chiles rellenos. They are very spicy, but they taste awesome. I am a Redditor.
This is my second time at Digital Story Telling. Well, I’m leaving now. Bye!
