It is particularly great to get a medal for the writing competition, because I used to HATE writing. Maybe I could become a famous fantasy novelist one day?

I love reading, my two favourite books have been The Book of Lies and Eldest comedian! This year I have been a member of the '8 Amigos,' which is a group of kids from my school who have competed in the Lego Robotics Championships, we won the State Final.
