This is Lyla hiding under the blankets so she can stay in my room and sleep.

Hi, I’m Riley Stem. 

I get called Ry by my friends, but I don’t know why.

My pronouns are she/her/hers.

I am from Yorba Linda, California. 

 I enjoy dancing in my spare time because it has a relaxing environment.

Something that motivates me is Christmas music and hot cocoa in the cold.

 Something I like to share is kindness by giving back to people who need it.

One of my favorite memories is when I got my dog because I was so happy I cried.

It was a typical day, my dad picked me up from school. As we were driving home, my dad was acting a bit weird, but I did not mind it. He wanted to walk in the front door, which was weird because we always go in the garage. We walked in, and I looked to my right, and I saw a pee pad. I looked back at the front, and a cute little Frenchy was sleeping on a bed beside my mom. My mom was recording my brother and me. I ran up to the and asked if she was our aunt’s dog. My mom said no, and it was ours I was so happy I started to cry. That was one of my favorite memories.
