My name is Adama Mansaray. I am in grade six. I am 12 years old. I am a Kono by tribe. I am a student of Muddy Lotus Primary School. My best subjects in school are reading and Literature. My favorite game is basketball. In my fun time I play with my younger ones. In the morning before I go to school I sweep, wash plates and say my prayers before I go to school. My favorite food is rice and potato leaves. Rice is our main meal at home. I like helping my mother at home with her domestic work. I hate to see people fighting. I want to be Minister at my old age.
