Gutentag! My name is Sarah Habgood and I am the 3rd member of the Awakeri Thinkquest Team. I am 13 years old and I live with my mum, brother and sister. I like to talk on the phone and talk to my friends at school and basically just talk in general. I like going to the pools in summertime and playing mini-golf. I have a chow chow called China and a New foundland called Cleopatra but everyone just calls her "puppy". I liked this subject because its a worldwide topic.

 

Thank you's

Thanks to all the people that gave up time to take our surveys. We'd also like to thank our school principal, Mr Fitzgerald. One last thank-you to our families who have been soooo patient and supportive.
