Mairead — her name rhymes with parade! This is her fifth summer at EXPLO and she loves to read, write ... and dominate the gaga pit! 


What I’m most interested in is writing, because I love making up new stories and creating new ideas. It's especially fun to create new characters because you get to imagine an entire world for them, and that’s a lot of fun. I’m taking the Short Story Writing course here, which is very interesting. Today we created our first character — mine is a 25-year-old woman named Elizabeth Fletcher. She is a struggling author, and when she’s not writing she works at a coffee shop.

Besides my course, I enjoy gaga-ball a lot. I went to play it yesterday at a time when everyone was trying to crowd in. I actually won the first game...and the second!
