The Basics:

My name is Crystal Steed. (Don't ask me what my middle name is.) I was born in Des Moines, Iowa but I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. I am a Freshman at Hughes High school in the Communication Professions. I am 15 years old. I have a large family. I have about 200 cousins, (that I know of)!

My Interests:

I love to listen to any type of music that sounds good. Mostly Rhythm&Blues and Hip Hop. I like to make mixed tapes for family members because I know what they like to listen to. I love to play basketball, kickball, racquetball and double Dutch. I like to write stories, poetry and lyrics.

My favorite foods are Double Chocolate Cake, Fried Chicken, Collard Greens, Macaroni and Cheese, Corn Bread, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy. My favorite colors are Navy Blue and Hunter Green. My favorite movies are "Friday", "Money Talks", "The Matrix", and "Romeo Must Die". My favorite books are "Year of Impossible Goodbyes" by Sook Nyul Choi, "One Fat Summer" by Robert Lipsyte, and "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" by J.K.Rowler.

Why I Joined the TNT Program:

I joined the TNT program because I wanted to work with different people on a sensitive and hopefully an unexplored subject.
