All About Andrea

Hey there, Ms. Viv ‘Nim Fanaticals!

Before we get on to today’s blog, I want to thank you for the feedback regarding last week’s blog series entitled “Susie’s Testimony.” It was a special blog that I had a lot of fun writing, in addition to joining the rest of the world in supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And you know, it is so apropos that today’s blog features a character whose favorite color is pink.

With that said, I would like to introduce to you: Andrea Michelle Cornette.

Born an only child on October 5, 1986 in Los Angeles, California to Joseph and Rachel Cornette, Andrea made her Sapp Elementary debut in the Third Grade, and immediately made friends with the Chickadees.

Andrea graduated from Cal State Northridge in 2008, where she earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration. She currently works as a secretary, but her goal in life is to be a “singing tennis player.”

It should come as no surprise that Andrea’s favorite color is pink, considering that she wears it almost always. She is also known as “Bubblegum Blondie” by her fellow Chickadees.

MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT:
After the Chickadees and I graduated from Eighth Grade, we all went to celebrate at Disneyland.

MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT:
I was giving a speech in class, and I broke out with a case of the hiccups.
