1. Mariah My name’s Mariah and I’m 17 years old. My birthday is December the 9th. I was born in Kentucky but I currently reside in Ohio. So, I basically know of Ohio and Kentucky, both being where I’m from. I have family in both areas.

2. My Family • My father has currently passed away on November the 8th of 2009. He had pancreatic cancer that he had for 6 months. My mother is not a fit parent, so I no longer talk to her. Therefore, I live with my Aunt Brenda – my father’s sister. I have a little sister who is age 9. Her name is Brianna and her birthday is August the 10th. She lives with her father. She is my half sister but we never were raised that way. I also have a little brother and his name is Ceon. He is 13 years old and he just turned 13. His birthday is May 23rd. I have 3 dogs : a pug, a yorkie terrier mixed with chihuahua and poodle, and a pitbull mixed with boxer and chihuahua. I love them all very much.

3. My Best Friends Are….. • They are always there for me. They see the good person in me no matter if I get mad, scream, yell, cuss…it doesn’t matter to them. They stay by my side through thick and thin, and I don’t even have to ask them. They’re supportive through everything and always want to help me.

It was all about family and that’s what we loved the most.

5. Hobbies and what I do for fun…… • I love to ride dirtbikesand I have the most monsterousdirtbike ever. The KTM 250 CX. I love to write poems, music, dreams, and just anything in general. I love writing. Music is a HUGE part of me. All I do is sing and hum and listen to music. Music lives within me and I can turn almost any tiny beat in to music and sometimes even a song for me. I absolutely love to play sports. I’ve been playing soccer since I was 3 years old. That’s my main sport. Then I play football, basketball, and hockey. I love to be around my friends and even hang out with my family. I love being able to go to the mall and shop. I even sometimes just wanna go for a ride in the car just to get out. Get in the car and just drive …….

8. Something I want you to know about me….. • I have a big heart and I wear it on my sleeve. I absolutely love little kids and love being around them. All I want do is be able to help then whether it’s through music or my experiences or my sense of being. Helping those who are going through what I’ve gone through.
