My name is Lauren Shafer. I am 16 years old, and I go to Anderson High School. I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and have lived here my whole life. I have one sister who is 20, and she is a sophomore at Miami University. I also want to go to Miami once i graduate. At Anderson, I am a part of the gymnastics team. I have been doing gymnastics since I was eight years old, so it's a big part of my life. I love to spend time with my friends and Hawaii is my favorite place in the world.
