Hey! My name is Casey Connor and I'm a senior at Maui High School. I'm 18 years old and I have brown eyes and golden blonde hair. I have two sisters, Kari and Melissa. Kari is 15 and is a freshman at Maui High and Melissa is 23 and attends Stanford University on an academic scholarship. She is studying medicine and already has an internship. My parents names are John and Helen. We moved to Honolulu when I was seven years old. My family used to live in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, but we had to move when my dad got promoted. He is a marine biologist and, since we have arrived in Hawaii, has been working on a landmark project concerning killer whales and their living habits. He also works with sea lions and dolphins. My mom works as the tennis pro at Baretania, our tennis club. My mom's passion for tennis was what started me on the sport. I have been playing tennis since I was four, and over the years, my skill level has advanced to well beyond other girls' of my age. Many people call me "extreme", and I agree! I love to play tennis. Since I was in sixth grade, I have been playing on the varsity team (even though it wasn't allowed). I am a singles player. I don't like to have other people on the court with me because I find that I am too hard on myself or my partner if I play doubles (I have a strong personality). I am also able to focus more when I am competing by myself. Playing tennis for most of the day is the prime reason why I am in such good shape. Also, many hours on the courts have made me glow with a permanent tan! One day, I hope to play tennis in college. My top choice is the University of South Carolina (I really miss it there). My best friend's name is Sara and she is also a senior. She is a soccer player and is attending Arizona State on a scholarship.

Dear Casey
You said you have a very strong personality, im guessing strong opinions come along with that. I would love to knwo what you think about the book banning at our school.

Casey-
I did hear that! It's so messed up.
I think that everyone should be allowed to read whatever books they want. But books should not be taught in school unless they are a certain age though. Your sister probably wants to read as many things as you do. Everyone has the right to the education and reading tools as everyone else.
Peace out- John Sanders
hey Casey! oh my god i know! i totally heard that! I dont think its a big deal! i agree with you! I think that we should learn about that stuff because I mean hey its reality. I think that we should limit the books to be read for juniors and seniors only. I think exposing all of those things to freshman and sophmores wouldn't be such a good idea. we should really talk to one of staff members about this!!

Hey Casey! I got your message on the PTSA banning books, I personally think it is ridiculous that they want to ban these books that would be good for students to read. Also I think that there should be some sort of age restriction on these books, because students who are in 9th or maybe even 10th grade might not be able to fully understand these books, and thus giving them the wrong impression.
