Gloria Mercury is 6 years old. Her father, George, is a mechanic and her mother, Katherine, is an English teacher. She is quite smart for her age but is an average student because she doesn’t like doing school work much.
Her younger sister, Angela, is 5 years old and they fight all the time and break each other’s things. Her room is always untidy and her mother is always telling her to clean it and be nicer to her sister.
Her favourite colour is red. She likes playing outside in the street with her friends which is how she spends most of her afternoons. Her parents are always telling her to study more and be more polite but they both have to work a lot so Gloria isn’t always supervised. When she is at home she spends most of her time watching TV rather than doing her homework. When she grows up she wants to be an actress which she uses as an excuse to avoid studying.
Her mother is thinking about sending Gloria to private afternoon classes so she can catch up with her work but her father doesn’t agree. He believes their daughter should learn to study and be a good student by herself and tries to find ways of making her school work seem interesting.
