Laurette




I am Laurette and I live in Almere.
My birthday is April 24th and I am 16 years old.
I am a first year's student Doctors Assistant.
My school is the ROC College in Lelystad, which is 30 km from Almere.
I travel by bus and train to get there.
It takes about an hour.

My hobbies are ice skating and play the flute.
I have skated for about 10 years now, and I have played the flute for about 7 years.

This is my 3rd time that I join a ThinkQuest competition.
The first one was the Dutch competition.
Last year I joined the international competition.
I was in a team of 4 girls and we have made a site about people who are mentally disabled.
You can have a look at: www.look.nl.nu

This year I had to join a new team, because I was in a winning team last year.
We had a lot of fun and learned a lot about this new subject.
I never knew that blind people were able to skate!!!
And it was fun teaching them.

"If I, deaf, blind, find life rich and intresting, how much more can you gain by the use of your five senses!"
