    Mrs. Sutton's English 10 Class Kingsford, Michigan USA

    We are a sophomore English class of 28 students. (One of us is a foreign exchange student from Italy.) Most of us are 15 or 16 years old.

    We live in Kingsford, MI, a small rural town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Our school, Kingsford High School, has a population of about 650 students. Most of the students in our school come from middle class backgrounds of Caucasian descent. Our school's mascot is a Flivver car because in the early 1900's, these Ford cars were mass produced  in our part of Michigan.  Our town is named after Edwin G. Kingsford, one of the leaders of the Ford Motor Company.

    One of the main employers in our area is Verso, a paper mill. Other large employers are the Dickinson County Hospital and a hospital for military veterans called the Oscar G. Johnson Medical Center. 

    Because we live where snow covers the ground seven months of the year, most of us know how to ski, snow shoe, ice fish, snowmobile, and ice skate. Those of us who don't like winter sports enjoy the warmer months of the year by swimming in the lakes and rivers, hunting or fishing in the woods, hiking on trails, or just hanging out in town with our friends. 

    At our school, we can participate in many sports like football, soccer, tennis, volleyball, track, cross-country, basketball, and softball. We can also join all sorts of school activities like student council, drama, choir, band, class government, and so much more! Those of us who don't like sports or school activities spend our free time playing video games, listening to music, and shopping.
