12. Description of his or her room: Mural on all four walls and ceiling of a forest, so that when you walk in, you feel as though you are in one. The bed has a wooden frame, and the bedclothes are green. The floor is painted like the floor of a forest, and on the bedside table there is a picture that was drawn by Ana of her cousin (and best friend) who lives three hours away. The desk in the corner of the room is wooden, and has neatly arranged art supplies on it.
