Real Self Imaginary Persona

Hi, I am Amaan, a 14-year-old boy. I live in Kurla in a flat with my parents and two siblings. Our house has a lovely backyard, perfect for playing with friends. I attend St. Mary’s High School, where I have a close-knit group of buddies. Our neighbours are kind, and I cherish my fun-loving relatives who often visit. I enjoy playing football and video games, but not a fan of math! My hobbies include reading sci-fi books and sketching. I’m quite good at problem-solving and making people laugh.

Hi, I am Alex. I am 15 years old, and my days are exciting! I awaken early to the chirping of happy birds, getting ready for school. I enjoy studying lessons with my buddies by my side, and we laugh together. I continue to pursue my passion for art after school by painting and drawing. Evenings are for spending time with my parents and two siblings and eating dinner together. Before dozing off to dreamland, where fantastical adventures await, the evening brings comfortable reading sessions. For me, life is an exciting trip!
