My name’s Magenta and I like doing my own thing. I don’t worry about what others think because I can’t please everyone. I respect my parents and they respect me, even if we don’t always agree. People seemed surprised when they find out I love to read (Why? Who doesn’t love getting swallowed up in a story?), and I also write poetry and song lyrics for my friend’s band (they rock!). I work part-time at my local library because I love books, and I think it’s cool helping people find great books to read.

My name is Ima Bananerd, and yes, I am proud to be a nerd. I am of above average intelligence and enjoy studying.

For fun, I write the advice column for our school paper (shhhhh). No one has a clue that I am "Dear Nan," and I am really good at it!
