“I love my mammy and daddy. I live in Tullamore with my mammy, and my daddy lives in Cavan. I have lots of craic in Tullamore, and all my friends are here. My daddy lives in the countryside in Cavan, and it’s really quiet, but in Offaly, it’s really busy.
My favourite thing to do when I go to Cavan is playing snakes and ladders. I love playing with my cousin Nadine. We make cakes and watch movies. Mammy doesn’t like movies, but she always reads me books. I do lots of art with my mammy and go to her school every week to learn drama.
When I grow up, I want to be an actor. I want to be Spiderman. He is cool, and he saves the whole city. I want to save the whole city ‘cos then everyone will love me”.
