All About Me

My name is Kirsten Sue Marie S., and I am 14 years old and a eighth grader at Hobart Middle School in Hobart, Indiana. This Is my fifteenth media fair project in eight years. I live with my mom and dad. My brother, Chris, will graduate in May from the Indiana Academy for Science, Mathematics, and Humanities in Muncie, Indiana.

  • High School and Middle School Choir Concerts and High School Talent Show (crew) - 6th, 7th and 8th grades

Whenever I have an interesting homework assignment and I find it hard to find good information for my age group, I create web pages so others have a place to find information easily understood in the middle school grades. Creating the projects takes a long time and is a lot of hard work. First creating the page, then finding the information, and finally checking links and making sure that visitors can get around easily. The fun part is getting to travel around the United States. Miss Wilkison and I have gone to Atlanta, Dallas, Anaheim, Chicago, Orlando and back to Dallas to accept my awards for the AECT Student International Media Fair. Other projects I have done are:
