Dear reader, I am Allie Snyder, and I am 16 years old. As you see on my home page of my wiki, there are a lot of pictures. I love to hang out with my friends and family whenever I can. I also enjoy doing cheerleading and gymnastics. I think I am a very good cheerleader. I have cheered for almost 11 years now, and plan on doing this through college. My favorite piece of writing on this wiki is my self-reliance project. The reason I choose this piece of writing to be my favorite, is because I really enjoyed making my glog on glogster. While doing this project it also helped me realize that I become more and more independent every day. Now that you know a little bit more about me, I would like you to read my portfolio and comment on anything you would like. This will also help you get to know me a little more and my opinion on some things in this world. Have fun reading! Annotated log L1.
