Beautiful Girl Joyby  her friend, Vidya

Joy loves swimming and art. When she grows up she wants to be a movie director and a mom. She also wants to be someday able to sell her art. Some of her artwork has been published in NMG and that encourages her. She's eight years old and lives in Virginia. 

She also loves to write. She writes short stories and prints them out for her family and friends to read. She also writes articles for a newspaper started by her best friend.

Joy speaks English and she's learning Tamil, a south Indian language. Her parents speak Tamil, and she's glad she’s learning it, too. Joy visits relatives in India every other year, and has lots of fun with them.

Another fun fact is that Joy has a brother who is an adult. He's at college, and Joy really misses him. But she visits him sometimes, and sometimes he visits her. She loves him very much.

Picking cucumbers.Being silly.One story of Joy’s courage started when she used to be terrified of swimming. She began to shiver when she got within feet of the water, and her teeth began to chatter.

She would cry after she went underwater or got water up her nose. She didn't want to even go in the water because she was worried about drowning or vomiting. And she really, really didn't want to take swim lessons.

But then, after almost drowning at a water park, Joy decided she should learn how to swim. So she gathered up all her inner courage, and she signed up for swim lessons at a nearby pool.

Now, every Wednesday, she goes swimming. She doesn't use a floaty, she knows her strokes, and she loves diving and going on water slides. She's one brave girl!


As for her favorites, Joy has a lot. For food, they’re pepper chicken, chow mein, sushi and macaroni and cheese. Her favorite TV show is Just Add Magic.

Joy's favorite color is blue, her favorite animals are dogs and hamsters. and
Her favorite breed of dog is dachshunds. "They're so cute and fluffy!" she says.

She doesn't have any pets yet, because
 her parents won't let her, but she's hoping for a hamster.

Joy loves NewMoonGirls and learned about it from her best friend. Her first work appearing in the magazine was a piece of artwork in Luna's Art Gallery, and a VoiceBox contribution.

Joy loves playing piano.
