About Me! (and my family)

This is my life right now, before sabbatical:
As you know, my name is Ella and I am 13. I live in Urbana (the Urbana in Champaign-Urbana) and I am a freshman at University Laboratory High School (aka Uni). I skipped a grade to get into Uni so I am really supposed to be an 8th grader. To find out more info about Uni go to http://www.uni.illinois.edu/.
I am known for being a crazy, hyper, sugar-loving, colourful (I usually spell colour that way instead of color. I don't know why, I just do. Along with favourite), mostly-happy girl. However, I also love to read, write, sing, act, and dance. I am not just an oober-hyper-crazy girl though. I pay attention to important news and attempt to be environmentally safe. I also love helping people and animals in need.
About my family:
~ My sister, Anna:
Anna is 10 years old, in 4th grade, and is AMAZING at math. Here is her website if you want to find out more about what she has done involving math: http://www.mathman.biz/html/annaL.html. Sometimes we make up shows together. She likes to sing and dance and is learning cello. Anna is like a piano prodigy - she is great at playing piano and has already written many songs for the piano. This is her first year playing softball too.

~ My mom, Sarah:
My mom is funny (but only to adults. When me and my sister were kids we didn't think she was funny - now we do.). I get my musical talent from her. Sarah plays piano and drums and sings. She is the leader of the church praise band. Sarah is a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (U of I) and she teaches how to teach math. So, she often helps me with my math homework. Here is info about her work http://education.illinois.edu/frp/l/stl.
~ My dad, Chris:
My dad is very funny a lot of the time (as seen in the picture below). But he can be serious at times too. He isn't very musical, but he has learned how to play bass guitar and plays it in the church band. Chris also works in the department of education at the U of I - with my mom - but he teaches Education Policy. His work info is at http://education.illinois.edu/fsd/l/club.
