I live with my family of five and have two annoying siblings. I’m currently in Middle School and going into High School next year. I haven’t written any books so I’m not technically an author, but this is my author bio.

I just happened upon this. l love tid-bits of information and this was great. I have had experience with water intoxication. I had no idea I was drowning myself. This was from a medication side effect.
