**‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍media type="custom" key="10438646" align="left"** ** Hi! ** My name is Dale Russ. Welcome to my Wiki Space. I am an 8th grader at Avery Middle School. My favorite subject is Language Arts. I enjoy this so much because I find language and the way people communicate interesting.  After school, I usually have a sport to play. Throughout school thus far I have played soccer, football, wrestling, baseball, and golf. So my schedule is usually pretty packed. But when I'm not playing a sport, I am hanging out with my friends or playing golf. ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ I love to eat. If it is on the table it will be gone within the hour. My favorite food is steak(medium rare).

My favorite baseball team is the Atlanta Braves. My favorite player is Chipper Jones. He is the oldest player on the team but is still one of the best.

I love living in the mountains, it is so beautiful here. It isn't crowded and there is so much to do. My favorite book('s) is(are) "The Hunger Games". The Hunger Games are written by Suzanne Collins. This adventure/fantasy book is about a young woman named Katniss Everdeen. She lives in a very poverty-stricken area. Every year a boy and a girl from the ages of 12-18 are chosen to compete in an event known as The Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is a competition between different sections of a country. Katniss has a younger sister, and by all odds she is chosen to compete in the hunger games. Katniss can not let this happen and chooses to retaliate in her own way.

Suzanne Collins has been working for childrens television series since 1991. Her most recent show was "Clifford's Puppie Days". Later on, James Proimos talked her into writing childrens books series. Her most recent series has been "The Hunger Games". As of now, she is living happily with her family in Connecticut. For more information on Suzanne Collins CLICK HERE

Rachel Scott was a student who went to Columbine HighSchool in Colorado. She was just like everyone else at the school but she was far from average. She was one of the students who had her life stolen at the Columbine shootings. Rachell was known for her kind,unorthadox ways. She had a gentle soul that could not be broken by words of those who didn't agree with her ways. These five acts are the standards that Rachel Scott has set for the world. She lived by them just for the sake of being kind. To her it was not the color of your skin or language you spoke, it was who you were inside that mattered to her.
