Dr. Harrison

My Dad and Mom call me Dr. Harrison because I love archaeology. The archaeologist that my friend Ben Burrows and I admire is Howard Carter. Howard Carter was the famous archaeologist who discovered King Tut's tomb in Egypt.

This summer I did a class called Challenge Time. We did space study, rock study and solar power. I did each of those classes for a week. Space study was fun because at the end of the week my teacher held a little store where we could buy stuff with little paper stars. We got to watch movies about stars and I made a star box to show constellations.

This year I turned 8 years old on February 23, 2000. On March 4, 2000, I was baptized as a member of my church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. After I was baptized and got dried off and got dressed I felt as light as a feather. I think this was a good feeling from being clean and having a remission of sins, which is why people get baptized. Here is a picture of my family at my baptism.

I enjoy sports and reading.

First, I play soccer a lot. My soccer team is named the Demons. We changed it from Hurricanes. I played goalie in many of the games. The other positions that I play are sweeper and stopper. I like soccer because you can run fast and get stronger legs and have fun. I play soccer at school too. Here is a picture of me in a game.

Second, I also play basketball. My basketball team has quite a few tall players. I am one of them. I scored my first two baskets of the season a couple of games ago. My team is called the SuperSonics. This is my second season on this team. Here is a picture of me in a game.

Third, I am on the swim team during the summer. I have been on the team for two summers. Our swim team name is the Wahoos. My favorite strokes are backstroke and breaststroke. I made it to prelims and league finals in backstroke. Here I am waiting in heats at finals for the start of my backstroke race. Here is a picture of one of my backstroke starts at another meet.

I love to read. I like reading fantasy books because I like magic, myths and legends. I read adventure books too. Some books that I like to read are the Harry Potter books, the Sword of Shanara series and mystery books like Hardy Boys books. I also love science fiction. My Dad lent me Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead to read this year.

I also like to skateboard, ride bikes, build legos and go on trips.

Thank you for visiting my world.
