My name Lauren and I'm in the fifth grade at Lincoln Avenue Academy. I have a younger eight-year-old brother named Everett and a one-year-old [in people years] dog named Bella. I have a two story house with a big back and front yard that is perfect for playing with Bella. My afterschool activities include volley ball, tumbling, and singing lessons.At the end of the third grade I was diagnosed with a condition called diabetes. When someone has diabetes they don't have enough insulin and as a result their blood glucose raises. I'm doing a lot better now because I have the pump. Besides doing ThinkQuest, my team is also helping out a girl in our school who has diabetes who can not afford the pump and really wants one. We are doing a fundraiser to raise money for her.On this team I wrote all interview questions and did interviews, wrote the systems pages and illustrated the site. Also, I did lots of spellchecking  and editing.

My name is Kayla. I am on the Physical Disabilities team for ThinkQuest and I had a great time with my team! In my free time I enjoy playing with my pets. I have one puppy named Scamp. He is a mutt; he is part Beagle and part Lab. I also love my pet bird Marla, she is very pretty! Other than my pets , I enjoy swimming in my pool, playing piano, and playing basketball! I have really enjoyed this year in ThinkQuest and can't wait for next year.  I was a researcher, writer, editor and helped with design.

My name is Megan I was born in Florida I'm currently in the fifth grade.I have one sister that is older than me in the 7th grade. I have a dog and a cat; I love to play with both of them in my free time. Also I love gymnastics and I am in level 6!. I love Thinkquest, but it is very hard to keep up with. I have learned a lot in Thinkquest and learned a lot in the topic I am. I was the main designer for the site and made the template, buttons and flash animation. I also installed all the quizzes.

My name is Morgan.  I am in grade 4 and have SMA. Julia and I were very good friends when she asked me to join this project. I think this project is important because it helps educate people about physical disabilities.  I enjoy playing with my friends, going to school and do all the regular things kids my age enjoy.

Since I have a little sister and 2 little brothers that I play with my house is always busy.

My name is Axita I'm 10 years old and was born in Alabama on September 12, 2007.I am in 4th grade. I have an older brother and enjoy school. In the Thinkquest team I did research and quizzes. I also organized the credits. I learned a lot. This topic was important to me because I had some experience with not being able to use a body part.I needed surgery and the procedure was to cut a slit in the tendon so my thumbs wouldn't pop.I had to write  only the tips of my fingers,my mom had to come every day to school and feed me and I couldn't get my hands wet so I had to use wet wipes with me to clean my hands with.Also I needed physical therapy for a month after my cast was taken off. So, it was really important to me to be on this team.

I am Mrs. Lockard and am originally from Croatia. I am an elementary school technology integration teacher and have been involved in Thinkquest for over a decade. I enjoy seeing kids engaged in real life problem solving and collaboration. This team was very special as they took their topic to the heart - it was meaningful to them and they have truly become community advocates.

I am Mrs. Campbell and have been involved with Thinkquest for a few years. My role was to encourage students, answer their questions  and help them drive around to  interview places. I enjoyed seeing them truly interested in learning and becoming proficient in so many technologies.
