My name is Jermaine Simuel, I am 11 years old. My classes are under AQA and are being held at St. Benedict the Moor. I love to draw because I can express myself. I have been drawing since the age of three. Without art I don't know where I would be. I also practice to become better. My art work was published in the Rochdale Village Bulletin Thanksgiving addition. I attend P.S. 80 Queens and I am in the fifth grade.

My hobbies are karate which I am good at.  I have an advanced yellow belt. I love to work and play games on my computer. The things I love best are basketball and my favorite team is the Chicago Bulls, drawing new pictures, and playing video games for my computer and my entertainment systems. If someone asks me. What does art mean to me?  I would say art is what a person  does to express themselves and to occupy their time.  When I grow up and get my college degree, I am going to medical school because I want to be a pediatrician.
