Adeena, Age 9
Zaheen Secondary and Higher Secondary School
Karachi, Pakistan

Pakistan is a beautiful country, especially the seaside. I like it because I love to build sand castles, and because I enjoy swimming. I usually swim every day after school. I live in an apartment with my mother and sister in Karachi. My whole family is from Karachi. At home I speak Urdu and English. I am learning Arabic in school. Besides swimming, I love to read, play board games, and study. Something interesting about me is that I play the drums in the school band. When I grow up, I would like to be a doctor. If someone from another country visited me, I would serve them Biryani, which is a spicy rice dish. I would take them to Murree, a resort town with beautiful forests and mountains.
