Hi, my name is Katie Beck, and I am a writer for Livewire. I am a very active person, and I like to play a lot of sports. I play soccer for the school and also for a club. I also play softball and basketball for school, and I also like to travel for these sports too. My favorite holiday is Christmas, but my favorite season is summer. I love to swim, ride four wheelers and hangout with my friends. I have a golden retriever, and his name is Benny. He is about 4 years old and is really big. I  have three other siblings and two of them are younger than me and on is older than me. That is everything about me.
