Lily Krafft, Video Reporter

Hey guys, Lily Elizabeth Krafft here. I am a freshman at Fort Worth Country Day. I chose video due to art fundamentals not showing my true talents. I personally love me some chocolate ice cream with sprinkles and cherries with whipped cream and chocolate sauce from Hersheys. I have a boykin spaniel named Charlie who strongly dislikes Avery and bites her in his free time. I enjoy frolicking in the field hockey fields when the sprinklers come on. My favorite thing to do in my free time is to sit on THE ANDY HARRINGTON'S porch and watch the neighbors. My day consists of waking up and sprinting. I sprint everywhere. 24/7. Day and night. Although, truly, I hate running. [email protected].
