I'm 15 years old and I'm a freshman at Bronx Science High School. I like to read books, go online and watch TV even though I'm not allowed to. I just won an essay contest and I will be leaving on an all-expenses paid trip to Korea in August.
July 2001

Interesting fact: I'm named after the book, Heidi.
