Hi! My name is Sarah and I am 13 years old! This is my first year doing Thinkquest, but my other team members, Heather and Abigail, were on Thinkquest Junior teams last year. I am also the youngest in the group and the least experienced. I am the oldest kid in my family. I have one 10 year old brother and one 12 year old step sister. My real dad lives in Chicago because my parents got divorced, so I live with my mom and step dad, but I visit my dad all of the time. My favorite family member is my dog, Schnitzel! Schnitzel is a one and a half years old miniture dachshund. Schnitzel is a female. She is my favorite family member because my favorite things are dogs and other animals. Schnitzel always wants to play catch with any type of ball. I like to play softball in my spare time. I also like to play basketball with my little brother. I play the flute in band, taking summer lessons to keep up with my skills. I also like to go to Lake Sara with my whole family and go tubing behind the boat. I have been on a cruise with my dad and I had the best time of my life. On the cruise we went to St. Martin, St. Thomas, and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
