Today I met a colorful, bubbly, outspoken, confident, self-proclaimed dork, and opinionated young lady named Lisa Tinglum.

Lisa is 14, and a freshman at Heritage High School. She simply loves her French and advisory classes. She really likes her World Civilization class, not due to the topic, but due to the really fun World Civ teacher. Lisa is an avid reader and likes books that have a point, message, or really engage her interest. Some of her favorite books include Click Here, TTYL, The Two Princesses of Bamarre, Jailbait, and 24 Girls in 7 Days.

Lisa is happiest when she is either acting or debating. She acted in Heritage's Fall Play called "Under Milk Wood" written by Dylan Thomas. Finally, Lisa has aspirations to compete in debate at the NFL level (National Forensics League). She wore this great hat and socks!

Teen Introduction

In order to get to know as many teens as I can, I will be interviewing several a month and posting the interviews (and pictures when possible) on this blog.

Name: Hoang Dinh, age 11, 6th grade student.
Hoang likes to draw, and play and exchange Yu-Gi-Oh cards with his friends. Some of his favorite books include the Harry Potter series, Eldest by Christopher Paolini, and various types of manga novels. He describes himself as smart, goofy, and likes to mess with his teachers. His favorite subject in school is math, and he is taking pre-algebra!

Thanks to Hoang for his interview!
