Hi, I'm Anjoulina, I'm a Red Anjou pear.

I was raised in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Oregon and Washington are the two highest pear-growing states in the country. I think that's pretty neat! If you look on a map and find Wenatchee and Yakima in Washington state, and Hood River and Medford in Oregon state, you'll see where USA Pears are grown.

I like going to my dance class and making paintings and other art projects. Artists need to have sharp senses so I like to eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day to make sure I'm getting all the good vitamins and nutrition I need. Five servings seem like a lot, but its not very hard to eat them when you know how big a serving size is. Do you know what a serving size of fruit is? For pears, a serving size is a pear about the size of a baseball.

During the school year, I like to come home and practice my dance moves to the latest music, but it's fun to dance to the oldies too! My parents give me a fruit or veggie snack and I finish my homework so I can work on my art projects or talk with my friends on the phone before dinner. On weekends, my friends and I like to have slumber parties and go to the movies.

Anjoulina's favorite hobbies:

Ice Skating, Dancing, Listening to music, making up skits with friends, cheerleading, playing tennis and swimming, reading and camping. Gymnastics is great too!

Salad, fruit, hot chocolate, veggies with Peanut Butter, milk, artichokes, pizza and tacos!

English (to express her artistic side on paper), Math (so she can count her five to nine a day), Dance/Music (cause she loves to dance!). She also loves art because it's "really her thing."

"You go girl!"
