media type="custom" key="10450088"Sup! Welcome to my page! My name is Charlie Burleson. I'm a 7th grader at **//__Avery Middle School__//.** My favorite school subject is math because it is not only my strongest subject, but i enjoy it the most as well. I am a percussionist in the 7th grade band. I also play guitar. My family was born into bluegrass. My uncle is a famous bluegrass musician. My dad also is a talented musician. I am also on the middle school football team. I have played football since 2nd grade. It is my mom's favorite sport. Mr. Johnson is a awesome coach! My favorite color is Purple!  My favorite movie is Drumline, Starring Nick Cannon. I plan to soon learn to play the banjo. I also enjoy riding dirt bikes and 4-wheelers. I was born on November 4, 1998. I have had 17 surgeries. Monster Energy is the best drink on the planet. I am also a christian and proud of it. My favorite drummer is Joey Jordison. The drummer of the band "Slipknot." I love Friday night varsity football games at Avery High School.

My favorite book is "Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie" It is realistic fiction. It's a book about a kid my age who lives in a large city. He is also a drummer in 7th grade band. He faces problems such as an annoying little brother, middle school drama, and yes, you guessed it, dangerous pie. ;) Jordan Sonnenblick is a great author. It's a great book that I can relate to. I would definently recommend reading it to anyone.

 Jordan Sonnenblick was born on a army base on July 4th, 1969. Kind of ironic, isn't it? He grew up on Staten Island, NY. He has a great, humorous personality. For more about Jordan Sonnenblick, click here.

//** This passed month of October, we were given the privilege to go and witness the life-changing story of Rachel Scott. The first person killed in the Colunbine shooting of 1999. She changed the world with her influences, and she dares us to do the same. This is Rachel's Challenge. This consists of five smaller challenges. The first one, eliminate prejudice, by looking for the best in others. The second, dare to dream. Set goals for yourself. Keep a journal. The third, choose your influences. Input determines output. The fourth, kind words. Small acts of kindness = huge impact. The fifth and final, Start a chain reaction with family and friends. If all of these challenges are completed, the world would be a much better and safer place. **//
