Will The Real Sydney Donkin Please Stand Up?

From a first glance, Sydney Donkin may seem to be timid and shy. Surely she wouldn't be the one to stand out in your mind as loud and outgoing, but an extra in the background. Most people would be shocked to know that once she is comfortable in her surroundings, her inner spirit is released and it's as if you're in the room with a completely different person.

Many would be utterly perplexed to hear Sydney sing. For such a small girl, she has a very powerful voice. With the fingers of a seven year old, it is a surprise how precise and graciously Sydney can play the piano, as if she has a finger for each key. Along with writing songs and composing music, Sydney loves to read. As she flies from cover to cover, paying close attention to detail, Sydney is a robot. Sydney's extreme phobia of spiders and basements may beg the question of how she is able to watch scary movies alone from dusk to dawn. Having seen hundreds of these movies though, Sydney is a complete horror movie fanatic. Despite both her parents' easy tanning skin, Sydney is pale like Casper the Ghost, blinding to the bare eye. Sydney is also very flexible. How many people can really say they can lick both their elbows? Let alone one!

She may not seem to be much of an extraordinary person from a first impression, but like a book, you should never judge by its cover because you never know what may be on the next page.
