My name is Austin, and I am in the fourth grade at Palm Terrace Elementary School. I was one of the first students to join the new Lemerand Center of Excellence program at Daytona State College.
I like LCE because I get to learn more. I am not very good at writing, but at LCE, I am practicing my writing a lot. I need help with my math, too, because we are learning division and it’s so hard for me to understand that it gives me a headache. But I know my multiplication.
The most fun thing we have done at LCE so far is the scavenger hunt because we got to go around the college and see new places. I tell my friends I go to college after school. Being at LCE makes me feel good.
I live with my mom and dad, and every other weekend my siblings come over. What I love most about my parents is that they pick me up every day and they care about me. When I turn 15 years old, I want to work in an ice cream shop so I can start from easy to hard work.
When I am older, I want to go to college and become a veterinarian because I have a lot of pets at home. I have a fish, a hamster, and two dogs. I named my hamster Snow Devil because he is white with red eyes and my fish’s name is Moon.
Our family celebrates Christmas by putting up the Christmas tree and we put the star up together. This year, my aunt will be with us, too, because she moved in with us. For Christmas, I would really like any of the Funko Pop! characters because they can be collectibles and be worth a lot of money in the future. I also would like PS4 games and some new shoes.
Three words that would describe me are: helpful, nice and thankful. I am a good friend because I listen and help my friends. I have made a lot of new friends at LCE and I am thankful for them, too.
