Becky
Faris
What is your name, and are you a boy or a girl?
My name is Becky and I am a girl. My real name
is Rebecca. I sometimes wish I were a boy and I
dress like a boy. I love being a girl though.
My name is Faris. I’m a boy and it’s great. I
love sports.
What is your teacher’s name? My teacher’s name
is Bob. He is very funny.
I have many teachers. All our classes are in
Arabic except for English. My English teacher’s
name is Miss Tala.
What is the name of your school, and do you like
it and why? The name of my school is Park Day
School. I love it. I love it because all the teachers
are nice and the lessons are great.
My school is called Friends Girls School
because of history, but it’s for boys and girls. I
like it but it’s different from other schools.
Do you have any siblings, and what are their
names and ages? I have a brother and his name
is Jonah. He is 11 and fun. We like to kick and
punch each other for fun and make jokes.
I have a brother names Layth and he’s 3 and
sister named Mira. She’s 8. We quiz each other
on our favorite shows and movies.
Do you like sports? If so, what sport? I like basketball,
softball, dance, volleyball, and soccer
etc.
I like basketball, soccer, and swimming.
What is your birthday? How do you celebrate
your birthdays? My birthday is June 9, 2002. We
get to pick what we want for breakfast, usually a
junky cereal, then get to pick out dinner, either
where we go out to eat, or what is made for me
at home.
My birthday is November 30th, 2001. I
choose where my party is. The night of my birthday
we go out for dinner or dessert.
Do you live in a house, apartment, mansion,
or farm? I live in Piedmont, which is a tiny, and
small town in Oakland; it is very close to San
Francisco. My house is two stories tall. We got
a new foundation, which is what holds up your
house. We’re also getting a hangout, playroom
basement with someday a bathroom.
I live in an apartment that’s for my family. It
has a basement, my uncles’ house, my grandparents’
house, our house and a laundry house.
Do you have any pets? If so what kind? How old
and what is their name and age and gender and
if so what breed? I have a black lab named Lola.
She is soooooooooooooo cute !!!!!!! I love to go
on walks and throw the ball, lay down with her,
give her belly rubs, and hugs and kisses.
I have zero.
What would you like to be when you grow up? I
want to be a professional dancer, actor, teacher,
astronomer (someone who studies space), and
artist because I enjoy it a lot. And I’m super good
at acting and dancing.
I’d want to be an actor so I could have a
pretty wife. And be known to everyone and rich.
What’s your favorite kind of weather, and why? I
like rainy, or snowy weather, cause it makes me
want to be inside a house, all warm and cozy
drinking that kind of “Hot Coco” that you get from
a mini mart, that very stereotypical “Hot Coco.”
I also like the cold weather. I like to be inside
where I can play board games and have a reason
to stay in bed all day and watch movies for
quizzes.
