My Life

Hi, I'm Dasha Elin Zerboni. I was born in America. Now, let me tell you a little about my life.

I was born in April 2005.  When I was a baby, the first thing I saw was my mom and dad smiling at me. It made me laugh.  But, not really. I couldn't.  Then, I tried to look at my mouth to see what was wrong. But, my chin didn't go down that far. I tried to stand up, so I could yell, "I'm born, I'm born!" But, I couldn't. My arms and legs weren't sturdy and strong.  I tried to talk, but all that came out was a little cloud. I looked at that cloud. And, it disappeared. Then, my mom hugged me and so did my dad. "Who are these people?" I thought. Until they took me home. We played and played and played. It was the best thing in my whole life. At least, I thought.

As I grew older, things changed. I was able to talk and stand up and walk. I was able to do all sorts of things, such as gymnastics, swimming and violin.  Violin seemed hard at first. But, then I practiced more. Now I can play Bach's "Ave Maria." I love violin!

Now, I'm seven years old. My favorite color is green, not brown. My baby brother was born. He's four, almost five. He can walk and talk and do violin too. But, he's still working on gymnastics and swimming. We like to play cars and make towns in his room. And, do front rolls and back rolls and cartwheels in the hallway. Our favorite game is Horseopoly. It's like Monopoly, but you buy horses instead. At a higher price. 

One of the hardest things in my life was teaching my brother math, and moving to a new house. I also learned how to deal with fragile things, like stuff made out of clay and glass. And, other fragile materials.

I love reading. It's my favorite subject in school. But, PE is catching up.

I'm going into second grade now. It's SO exciting. Some things bum me out, like having my best friends in a different class, meeting new kids and having to make new friends. And, I'm always thinking about what will happen next. It makes it harder to focus on my work.  But some things make me excited, such as getting a new backpack, moving up a level in reading, and, well, making new friends. 

I hope you go through those changes too. It's pretty fun and interesting.  It's tough to live a good long life, but if you work hard at it, you'll get good at it. And, it'll be easy as pie.

I'll keep you posted on how things go for me.

The end.
