About Me My name is KennedyElizabeth and I am 9 years old. I started Kennedy's Book Klub podcast to share my love of reading and talking about books with everyone. I started to read at a young age and since the beginning I was excited about reading about new characters and places that I can imagine visiting. I have read over 200 books since the first grade. While in first and second grade I would read a book a day and one book each weekend. Now with my busy schedule I read one book a week.
School Since PreK I have attended 4 different schools in NYC. This upcoming school year when I enter 4th grade I will be starting in my fourth school. I have been accepted into a prestigious NYC Ballet School training to become a prima ballerina. I'm very excited to be starting my new school in the Fall of 2021. Before being accepted into this school I attended a Dual Language school on the Lower East Side where I learned to read, write and speak Mandarin.
Hobbies At 9 years old I do have many hobbies. When I do have some freetime from school and dance I like to practice coding. I have actually written several small animated programs with the help of code.org, scratch and scratchjr. I like to model and act and I have walked in several runway shows for The Set NYC. I'm also learning how to play chess. I have a journal filled with poems and stories that I hope to publish one day. My dad is teaching me how to play the guitar and I also like to draw anime characters. I also have been dancing since the age of 3 at a nationally award winning studio in the Bronx, NY. I have been a part of the award winning competition team since the 1st grade. This year at Nationals in Atlantic City my solo came in 3 overall in the top 10.
Family I am the only girl in a family of boys. I have 2 older brothers and one younger brother. My mom works as a professional substitute teacher so she can have the flex time to keep up with my many hobbies and activities. My father works at an animal shelter in Chinatown in Manhattan. My younger brother takes karate just a few doors down from my dance studio.
