Would like to play soccer, but, well . . .! She doesn’t enjoy school as much as she appears to. Future? Practical nurse! LAUREN GIESBRECHT Lauren is not at all of the quiet type; she’s friendly. Noted for laughter and screams which help keep the others in good moods. Is often seen arguing with boys, but in a “friendly” way.
