My Buddies Identity

My partner’s name is Katrina Town. My first impression of her was that I thought she was a junior. She has a personality that makes her seem more mature and smart. I first met her in honor chemistry and she seemed to know a lot. Then I saw her in Chinese 4 and I was completely impressed by how fluent she sounded.

of Katrina was born in a small town near Detroit Michigan. She lived in the middle nowhere 30 minutes from the school. She grew up there and moved to California the summer between second and third grade. Katrina grew up in a small neighborhood where she played with the kids across the street. She is the oldest of 4 kids, her family is very loving and loud. She is responsible for her younger siblings. She is closer to her mom, and she gets scared of her dad when he yells at her. Katrina and her younger sister by 2 years fight a lot. She has a younger brother with speech apraxia, which makes her life more difficult at home. Speech apraxia is a disability where it made it hard to form words, he brother got bullied a lot about it and made him have trouble with his emotions. When he has trouble with his emotions he starts fights with other kids.

Her dad is a software engineer mom is a music teacher. Her grandparents on her dad's side were born in the US and he is the oldest of 3 kids, her grandparents on her mom’s side were born in Poland and she is the youngest of 3. When her mom was younger she would be scared of her dad when he got angry, her mom grew up on a farm. Katrina is very passionate about playing the flute and drawing. Her parents tell her to focus on her passion and follow it. They both chose the wrong career path at first because of what other people told them to do, so they don’t want her to do the same mistake.

Katrina’s grandparents were both born in Poland. When her grandpa was 8, his family as captured by the Russians, and he spent the next several years in different camps. He was starving most of the time and always looking for food. Her grandma moved to the United States when she was 18. It’s been interesting
