My friend in the photo is named Katie Thomas, and she was born on April 3, 1990 in California but later moved to Houston Texas when she was six. Katie has a close relationship with her three younger brothers. Her favorite hobbies include hanging out with her friends, and writing! She already has had the great opportunity to write articles for a variety of new reporting and newspapers. Her mother is a successful lawyer and her father is a doctor. Currently she is finishing up her senior year of high school. She exceeded many of her academic goals and she has won many writing competitions. Since Katie has been involved in community organizations and helping the environment she wants to join the peace corp and help the world. She hopes to live somewhere in Africa for five months and then travel to India to help people living in those places. After her year of traveling, Katie is going to go to a prestigious college and study journalism. However, she also has an interest in becoming some kind of doctor so she is pondering the possibility of attending medical school after college. Katie’s a smart, hardworking girl who wants to take any opportunity give her. She is a trustworthy friend that will always make you smile.
