Voices of the American Revolution ThinkQuest Team

I'm Brad and I am 10. I was born on New Year's Eve. My favorite sport is baseball. I have 2 brothers, a Mom and a Dad. The best part of ThinkQuest is making friends, knowing more about the topic which you and your team chose and being able to learn a lot about the internet and computer.

My name is Kia and I am 11 years old. I like doing gymnastics and dancing. I also like singing. I am very interested in the "web world," such as designing web sites. I hope to follow that dream and make a career of that. I also hope to follow my dream of photography and someday take pictures for catalogues and such. I also love writing and singing. I also like ThinkQuest a lot.

My name is Mollie. I like volleyball, math, social studies, dance, games and a lot of other stuff. One of the most important things in my life is Spanish. I have taken Spanish almost all my life. I know Spanish so well that I can do almost everything in Spanish that I can do in English. I have two sisters, one mom, one dad and my forever loving dog. I really enjoyed making this site because I learned a lot and I made new friends. I think that one of the most important things in life is to learn. ThinkQuest is so much fun. If you really want to have a challenge and learn a lot, you should join ThinkQuest at your school. I learned so much about the American Revolution and I really hope you do, too, when you read our site.

My name is Teddy. I was born on Thanksgiving Day. I like eating, playing outside, using the computer, watching TV and playing sports. I especially like doing aggressive rollerblading. I have always liked making cool graphics on the computer. I also liked doing reports. I think ThinkQuest really helped me with my skills in writing. It's been really fun making our ThinkQuest site. Maybe one day you'll try ThinkQuest, too.

My name is William. I am 11 years old. I enjoy rollerblading and BMX biking. I also enjoy playing football. I am a good student in school. One of my favorite groups is The Beatles. I enjoy going on bike rides with my friends. I also enjoy doing ThinkQuest very much: it is a hobby of mine. I enjoy studying the American Revolution very much and would like to learn more about it.
