Carlisse Perales I am 12 years old and I live with my mom and my brothers in Berlin. My mom’s side of the family is from Bristol, so I see them most of the time, but my dad’s side is from Las Vegas and Mexico. Almost every year, my brothers and I travel to Vegas to visit my family. My stepmom owns a house there, so my dad lives part time in both Vegas and CT. My mom owns a dance studio in Unionville, and it is pretty much our second home since we are there all the time. I am more of an athletic person than an artsy person. My 2 favorite things to do are gymnastics and running. Last year, I did both cross country and track. I also did gymnastics for only 2 sessions, because I’m mostly self-taught. I also love camping and hiking. My family
