Who Am I?

Who am I?

If I had to start with basics I am a 5' 6'', brown haired, brown eyed, 17 year old girl who is a senior in high school. I am like many of the other girls around me, I love my friends, am dedicated to my school work and come from an exceptional family but under all the basics there are some things that make me very different.

I have grown up living in lots of different environments. I spent the first 13 years of my life living in the city with my mom. My parents have been divorced almost my entire life so I am completely used to the situation and now I have 3 little siblings (2 sisters and 1 brother) all under the age of 7 who mean everything to me.

Then, my freshman year of high school I moved to the suburb that I now have lived in for four years. In the beginning, I was really unsure about the change but as I started going out of my comfort level and making new friends, I began to experience new, fun and exciting things. This experience has made me become a more optimistic, social and curiosity seeking person. Life is full of options and choices and something I have learned in the last four years is to take advantage of them because it pays off.

Additionally, I love to draw. Since I was really little that has always been something I've really enjoyed but as I started taking art classes in high school I began to do more with my art. I spend a lot of my free time drawing the people and objects that surround me.

I have four parents and eight grandparents who have all impacted my life in so many ways especially sine they are all so different. In different ways they all influence me and the choices I make. While some of my grandparents are more quiet and conservative, others are louder and like to voice their opinions at no cost I think I have a mixture of all of them in me.

Next year I plan on going to Indiana University and can't wait to see what life has in store for me in the future!
