How would other people describe you as a person?

Probably talkative, when people first meet me I talk alot, I say whatever’s in my head.

What do you do outside of school for fun? Why?

I like to read, I feel like it takes me away from the real world and it helps me focus.

What career do you want to pursue? Why?

I want to be into dentistry. I was recommended by my aunt and since she’s also in health care I look up to her. She’s always so hard working and she always has her schedule full.

Tell us the story about what you are most proud of yourself for.

When I recovered from the mental state I was after COVID. The way I was, I didn’t like it, I was very negative and pessimistic, that really affected my grades and how I treated other people.

My oldest brother Trixie because he helped me through alot of stuff, he would always ask if something was up, and no one in my family really does that.

What advice would you give to your younger self?

Try not to rush into growing up, because you’re only a kid for so long until you have to have so many responsibilities.

To travel more, I still want to go to a bunch of places.
