I’m so happy the BSG welcomed me as their friend. I just moved to Boston so my mom could get special treatments for her multiple sclerosis. My art is my life! I paint, collage, draw, and do computer art. I’m proud of my Mexican-American heritage and love to cook with my sister.
Birthday: September 23 Sign: Libra Age: 12 Screen name: lafrida
Full name: Isabel Alicia Martinez
Hair color: Dark brown—almost black
Eye color: Caramel-colored
All about me: I love to paint, make collages, and draw cartoons. I spend a lot of time on the computer, and I love birds, especially my parrot, Franco. Bird cartoons are the most fun to draw, but I also do caricatures, paintings, and lots of doodles.
Best quality: I like to be friendly to others—especially new kids at school because I was one not too long ago!
Worst quality: Sometimes I tune out the rest of the world when I’m sketching and totally zone out!
Favorite color: Green, green…and more green!
Favorite sport: Basketball. And I love watching ballet because I used to dance.
Favorite music: I love classical guitar, whatever is on the radio, and anything by Shakira.
Favorite movie: The Princess Bride
Favorite store: The specialty food shop where I can get ingredients to make Mexican empanadas and chile rellenos.
Favorite candy: Caramels
Favorite animal: Birds. I like to draw cartoons with birds as the main characters.
Favorite school subject: Art, by far!
My idol: Frida Kahlo. She was so brave and different—and she was from Mexico.
Prized possession: My sketchbook. Next, my computer.
Goals: Having my art placed in a gallery somewhere in Boston or on web sites for the whole world to see.
Fun facts:
• I’m not afraid to be myself. Who wants to go with the crowd?
• Once, I got caught in the art room just talking to a popular boy and rumors started to fly...
• I got my parrot, Franco, after we found him stowed away on our Hawaiian cruise trip!
• At my family’s ranch in Texas, I got stuck in a spooky cave overnight and discovered ancient petroglyphs!
My favorite candy is also caramel. My favorite subject in school is art and lastly I LOVE to play basketball!!! I almost forgot, I am very good at socializing

Isabel, I love sketching things out, too. By far basketball is my favorite sport(w. basketball). Plus, Frida is my favorite artist of all time. I love the way she does portraits, and the way she makes her eyebrow look like the wings of birds.

I also got hurt when I did ballet. I sprained my ankle while I was doing a twirl. I loved ballet but I had to quit it. Anyways, I was so happy that someone has gone through things that I had gone through. I was sad that I stopped ballet but I started softball. I love it now!

Hola Zacefronlover9! My mom has MS, which stands for multiple sclerosis. Basically, her nerves have trouble sending signals to and from her brain, which means she gets tired a lot. It makes me sad sometimes, but I know that now that we're living in Boston, she's going to feel better!
