My name is Mariko and my buddy is Brian. For four years, out of my seven years of life, I lived in Colorado. My family is most important because I believe it would be boring without my sister to play with and it must be sad without my Mom and Dad. I enjoy mask painting, drawing a picture and glueing paper pieces on to it. Brian doesn't know why his parents gave him his name. He doesn't know why he was born in Hawaii.He is from California because his Dad worked there. Having fun is important to him. Fun is anything that is not work!
