HI, I'm Brianne Elizabeth, but everyone calls me by my initials BETH. I live on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, across the the street from Central Park. I live with my mother, father, older brother Reese, and my pet dog Lucy.

I love to dance. I take weekly ballet classes. One day, I hope to perform in Radio City Music Hall. In school my favorite subjects are reading, spelling and gym. Spelling Bees are my favorite.

Every day I go exploring Central Park with Lucy. There are so many things to do there and so many people to see. I especially love watching the horses go by with tourists in the back carriage. Mr. Monack is a coachman who has a horse called Whitney. He always waves to me as he goes past. Sometimes he even lets me brush Whitney’s long hair!

I love animals. Last year I started a save the endangered species club with my best friend Adrianne. The club is called “Bear Hug”. We hosted a talent show and raised over $4,500. Mom calls me a super-star activist.

I think New York City is the coolest place to live in the world! I hope you will join me on my adventure one day.
