Reporter Profiles


Courtney

Age: 14

Lives: Gorgie, Edinburgh

Me, Myself and I:
I'd say I was a rather mad, noisy, extrovert person =]
I like to laugh and hang out with mates.
Music makes up around a third of my conscious thinking, I'll listen to anything with a beat and probably like it.
I pretend to play guitar and drums - don't pop my bubble of happiness =D
I like some sports- football, gymnastics and I'm campaigning to have ice-skating on the school PE curriculum and I have been known to enjoy softball on occasion.
I love to change. Change my clothes style; change my hair, just anything. Especially my hair I think I've changed it around 11 times in the last year and a half.
I love to write poetry!
At the weekend I go to under 18's clubs and hang around with friends doing random mad, random stuff!
I have a particular disliking for liquorice, hatful people, sad happenings, hurting people, animal cruelty, aubergines and school (your not taught to ask why? Your taught how)

Thank you for reading, good day =D xoxo

Grace

Age: 13
Lives: Colinton, Edinburgh

Personality: A lot of my friends say that I'm slightly crazed and very loud with a lot to say all the time. Sometimes I can be a bit of an agony aunt, cheering people up. My main saying is "I'll like you if you like me". When I first meet a person I can be very shy, but as soon as I start asking the person questions I get quite confident.

Loves: My friends, my family, hockey, basketball, swimming, EDINBURGH FESTIVAL, music, beaches, sun, summer, warm weather, shopping, spending other people's money (mwahahaha!), French people, basically my whole life!!
Dislikes: Simon Cowell, Curling, how Tesco is taking over the world, and making personal profiles!

... and that's... the personal profile of GRACE!

Alastair

Hi

My name is Alastair and I am 14 years old. I live in Morningside, which is towards the south of Edinburgh. I mainly like listening to music in my spare time; my favourite kind of music definitely has to be Rock, but I do like listening to other kinds of music every so often.

I also like doing sport during my free time. I do Cross Country Running with my school and have attended a number of races, gradually improving over the last two years. I occasionally do Judo, which is a martial arts sport.

I am also interested in photography, and attend a weekly club at my school, where we go out and take photographs around the campus and then come back and edit them on the computers. I have often managed to create some outstanding photos.
I hope this has given you a better insight into my likes and dislikes.

Dislikes: I don't enjoy football or rugby. I hate Apple Macs. I also hate people who say they are good at things and then they usually aren't. I also dislike people who take everything seriously and don't understand jokes. I don't like people who gossip about everything.
