Colerain Twp. • 35 years old

Norwood • 45 years old

I like to go to bookstores. My two favorites are Joseph Beth Booksellers in Rookwood and Half-Price Books in Kenwood. I like looking at different sections like art, young adult, travel, and reference. I also enjoy the holiday and themed book display tables, puzzles, music, and games. Sometimes when I travel, I visit different bookstores for fun. In the winter, I like to cuddle with a book, a blanket and my cat, Theodore.

Aaron Young

Westwood • 31 years old

The accomplishment I am most proud of is when I graduated high school in the top 10 percent of my class. I was sitting in the very first row at graduation. I got to walk across the stage to receive my high school diploma and shake hands with my teachers. I felt absolutely great about it and would say it was one of the greatest experiences and blessings of my life.

Jason Waugh

Green Twp. • 42 years old

I’m part of my community by helping people and working. I work at Outback Steakhouse in Western Hills. I have worked there for more than four years. I get to meet new people and help out my co-workers when they need me. They are all like family. I also like talking to different people I know who come into the restaurant.

Finneytown • 25 years old

My greatest accomplishment is getting out on my own and getting into my own house. I liked gaining my independence and making some of my own decisions. I love to write, play video games, and spend time with my dog, Cali. She makes me very happy. I like pushing her around in a stroller on our walks and buying her toys.
