I am apart middle class family in Connecticut, so I understand I have privilege financially. However, my family has struggled a bit with money, and we usually have to save and invest our money. We don't go on fancy trips usually and we don't own property or things like that. So while I know I could be off much worse economically, I would not call my family money-care free or rich.

I identify as female. I am very proud of my gender, and I love being a woman. I am one of the co-presidents of Women's Activism Club, and I love discussing current events and issues, specifically gender issues. I find it a great place where I can form and express my opinions, and hone my skill of speaking my mind.

I am apart of both the WHS Choir and WHS Theater communities. Music and theater have been in my life for as long as I can remember, and I am grateful to have developed friendships and connections through those interests. I love feeling apart of an accepting and comforting community.

My mom's side of the family is Japanese, and they came to the U.S. when my mom was a baby. My grandfather and aunt live in Michigan, and we usually visit them twice a year. Although we see them as much as we can, I am not very connected to my Asian heritage. I hope to further connect throughout my life, and better understand a culture that technically is half of who I am.
My dad's side of the family is European, mostly Irish. We also visit them about once a year in Western New York. Since I was raised in the U.S., I more identify with the American culture, yet sometimes I wish I didn't. While my culture and identity might be mostly American, I hope to educate myself on Japanese culture since my childhood wasn't immersed in it.

My Dad mostly works from home now (online due to COVID), but most of my life he worked in the city. My mom would work part time (as a psychologist) but I spent a lot of time with her and my sister, who is only one year older than me. My sister and I are very close and share many similar interests.
