“Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.” -Buddha

Who am I?

Who am I really? I'm a stubborn introvert that enjoys wearing clothes that have experienced a past life, in someone else's wardrobe. I refuse to drive my car unless the windows are down and the music is so loud that I can feel it in my chest. I have a very difficult time making any type of decision, which often becomes a problem when I place my order at McDonald's. Just kidding, that place is disgusting. I recently stopped eating red meat to try and lose weight, and shed a couple of insecurities along the way. I feel a great love for our earth and try my best to keep it clean and healthy. When I leave highschool I plan to go to a community college and then onto a small-ish university where I will hopefully major in Environmental Science, or something similar. It's also a dream of mine to join the Peace Corps and travel to a country where I can use the Spanish that I have learned. My ultimate goal is to share my knowledge with others in some way, but I'm not sure how I plan to do it yet. I truly feel like I was put onto this earth to help others, whether it be a shoulder to cry on, a tutor for an ESL class, or a volunteer at an animal shelter. It is the greatest feeling ever!

I love to laugh and cry, but mostly cry because it makes me feel alive. I enjoy spending time with my close friends and family. I am OBSESSED with resale shops, antique stores, and flea markets. I'd rather buy something old than new anyday. My favorite place to be is upstairs in my bedroom. It is truly my sanctuary. Every item on display has great meaning and represents me or a memory. If you could see a picture of my soul, it would look exactly like my room. You'll probably see me on 'Hoarders' in 10 years because I can't bring myself to get rid of anything because I'm so afraid of change. My favorite color is yellow, favorite food is chinese and favorite flower is a sunflower.

There is so much more than only time spent with me can help you learn.
