Brief Bio Karishma

My name is Karishma Miranda. My mom and dad moved to San Jose, CA in 2002. I was born here in California and lived here ever since. The majority of my family lives in India with an exception of a few.

My family does have a garden in our back yard and I do occasionally help out with all the gardening work. We grow all kinds of vegetables. We have zucchini, butternut squash, tomatoes, and many others. Both my parents are excellent at gardening and when it comes to gardening, I look up to both of them. My mom is an amazing cook. She can cook almost anything from scratch. I love all her food and I hope I can cook like her one day. I look up to both my parents when it comes to gardening and my mom when it comes to cooking.

Angelina Bio

My name is Angelina Lee. I was born in Santa Clara, and I have lived in San Jose, California my whole life. My mom is from Vietnam, and my dad is Chinese-Japanese. Some of my family from my mom's side lives in Vietnam, but most live here in California.

One thing I have grown is an avocado tree. I remember growing the seed in water, letting it grow, and planting it in dirt. The tree grew to about four feet and then died one winter. Someone in my life who knows a lot about gardening is my grandpa. He grows fruits, vegetables, and many other plants in his backyard. One time he grew a pear tree which yielded fruits as big as melons. It was so cool. My mom knows a lot about cooking. Sometimes I help her cook in the kitchen. When I help her, she tells me what ingredients to use and how I should cook it. My neighbor is also good at gardening. She has a garden at her backyard, where she grows many different types of flowers and plants, such as tomatoes, zucchinis, arugula, basil, and avocados.
