alex britton fishes with barbie flatfish

Hey everyone. I'm Alex Peterson (my middle name is Britton, pronounced just like the country in Europe) and I attend Central York High School. If you're forgetting who I am, I was the one who waltzed in late to the first intro-meeting a few Fridays ago...yeah that's me.

I love fishing, I just got back from Canada two days ago with my family and one of my best friends. We caught over 400 fish in 6 days, it was awesome. I love being outside and just being in the wilderness I guess you can call it.

I also love traveling, going anywhere and everywhere. I traveled to Europe twice, once in 2000 and once in 2005. I visited England and France with friends and family. It was an experience of a lifetime and I plan to go back someday soon.

Being a Muslim Teen in America

It was supposed to be a simple trip to the mall. It was just her and her family, walking amongst the other everyday Americans who roam the tiled floors and glance at the stone-faced mannequins.

Unfortunately, fourth grader Mariam El-Maghrabi caught sight of something unexpected and shocking.

She stared at a man dressed in a shirt that portrayed a scope of a gun over the head of a woman dressed in a hijab, a Muslim head covering. On the shirt, it clearly stated: All Muslims Must Die.

Teen pens novels in November

Amy Myers>, junior, York Suburban Senior High School

How did you get involved with National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo)?

I found the Web site (one) December, so I had to wait until the next (November). And then I did it. I convinced a few friends to join with me, with varying degrees of success.


Explain the process of National Novel Writing Month.


It's like an honor system because you can sign up on the Web site (www.nanowrimo.org) and once you've written your 50,000 words you earn a certificate. In a month, you have a novel. I print them out. I like to bring it down to about 3,000 words a day so it gives me time off if I need it but it never works out that way. I try to take breaks so I don't become a recluse.
