About the Authors

James Leyva

Age: 14

 I graduate from Washington Middle School this summer and will be a freshman at Sonora High School in September of 1997. I like history and math because I enjoy knowing about the past and I like working with numbers. In my time off from school I like to play computer games, practice kung fu, watch television, traveling and spend time with my friends. My team chose Mayan civilization as our topic because we wanted to learn more about a civilization that was not completely studied in our classes.
