Getting to Know My Mess(Squad)

Dear Captain John,

Here are the people that I learned about by reading their blogs:


Drew: He is very good at magic. He is also very good with children and video games. He hopes to collect video games, magic and somehow children.

Jonothan: Jonothan will eat anything. He is also very good with small children. He is an "ok" cook and has an excessive amount of sarcasm (says his mom). He hopes to collect recipes, food, forms of currency, music and artwork.

T.J.: T.J.'s skills are computer tech, video/film, creativity (especially in building), problem- solving, fishing, cooking, a sense of humor, and awesomeness. He will collect drawings, observations, interesting films, drawings, and photos of animals.

Christian: He will bring encouragement, bravery, and experience with children. He will collect music and hope to discover animals.

Marandah: She can cook, have energy, be optimistic, cheer up other kids, be good with children, and photograph good. She hopes to collect food and samples of fashion.

Skyler: Skyler is good with astronomy, survival, hunting, and navigating his way home. He hopes to collect herbs to make medicine.

Sophie: Sophie is able to learn languages fast for translating. She is also talkative and positive which she thinks will lift gloom out of the air. She hopes to collect journals from old tribes and jewelry from Indians.

Kendall: Kendall is very helpful when it comes to fashion and clothes. She also wants to make people laugh, and be a photographer on the way. She hopes to collect photographs and learn about the Native Americans' style.

Sierra: Sierra says she's "well suited" for the journey because she can communicate with new people good, she is good with young children, and she has an interest in fashion. She has used these skills to make new friends, acquaintances, and contacts, babysitting/helping friends take care of their siblings, working at a high-end fashion boutique for a week, and giving other fashion advice. Her hope for the trip is to meet new people, learn about their cultures (including the fashion and music of their culture), record their music, bring back samples of fashion, and even learn a new language.

Dan: He can be a good cook under the right circumstances and he is also a tireless worker. He wants to collect snow globes, knick-knacks, kuchina dolls, rocks, and shells.

Mary: Mary watches over little children a lot and thinks this will come in handy when baby siting kids on the boat. She is also a musician and knows how to play many musical instruments. She would like to discover new foods, new animals, and a variety of different art medias.
