The non-stop, always moving Hannah Mei Steury, only 4’11”,  shines as a soccer all star, making at least 4 goals each game. Not only a soccer player,  she dreams of being the next Serena Williams in tennis. Hannah Mei has an older brother who also attends West Potomac, and he gives her a ride to school so she's never late. She has lived here in Virginia her whole life and her favorite animal is a panda (they're adorable). Nothing can stop Hannah Mei Steury- well, nothing but spiders. They really give her the creeps.
