Read the following passage about Orlaith from her social media profile.

Is mise Orlaith Nic Giolla Cearra agus is as Baile Átha Cliath mé. Rugadh mé ar an aonú lá is tríocha de mhí na Nollag, míle naoi gcéad nócha is a cúig.

Is múinteoir scoile mé agus tá cúig pháiste is fiche i mo rang. Is breá liom mo scoil. Siúlaim ar scoil gach lá agus de ghnáth, siúlaim deich míle céim in aghaidh an lae, *de réir aipe ar m'fhón póca.

Tá mé iontach tanaí. Tá ocht gcloch go leith meáchain ionam agus tá mé cúig troithe ocht n-orlaí ar airde. Cónaím in uimhir a naoi Sráid Uí Chonaill agus tá trí chat agam. Tá cúigear deirfiúracha agus deartháir amháin agam, chomh maith le mo mhamaí agus mo dhaidí.

Téim ar laethanta saoire go dtí an Ghaeltacht gach samhradh le mo bheirt chairde agus fanann muid mí ann. Leanaim na mílte duine ar na meáin shóisialta ach níl ach thart ar ocht gcéad leantóir agam féin.
