All About Shannon
Hello my name is Shannon Hanley. I live in San Jose, California, and have lived here my whole life. I
enjoy spending time with my Friends and Family. I am the youngest in my family. My mom’s name is
Serrina and she works very hard. My dad’s name is David and he sacrifices a lot for my family. Last
but not least is my sister who is 19 and currently attending San Jose City College. Some activities I
enjoy are arts and crafts, playing sports, and hanging out with my friends. My favorite subjects in
school are History and Science. I enjoy coming to school most of the time.

Dear Potatoes,
I am very fortunate to have you in my life. I’d like to thank-you for stuffing my stomach during most of my meals in the holidays. Now that I have taken the time to realize everything you have provided me with, I appreciate you so much more. Not only are you so tasty when you are cooked, but you are a very “hot” potato. Thanks to you, you have provided me with many vitamins, proteins and minerals, which is very crucial for our bodies. Without your Vitamins A, B-6, and C, my life would not be the same. For example, Vitamin A has helped me produce white blood cells and fosters the healthy growth of cells in my body, and Vitamin C has strengthened my teeth and bones. I could go on & on, about the benefits of eating you, but I just wanted tell you how much I appreciate your help. I will continue buying you in the supermarket, don’t worry, I won’t forget about you. Thanks again for everything.
Sincerely,
Leah Poapst
