Hey everyone! One word that describes who I am is independent because life has thrown so many situations that have made me the strong person I am today (it's also made me not rely on anyone for anything). Thanks to that I'm Ms. Independent.
p.s. my zoom was putting the virtual background on my face and not the actual background... sorry!

Believing in myself is the most important message I value in life. I know who I am and what I stand for. I have strong beliefs, recognize my personal capabilities, and I’m confident in meeting the challenges that stand in front of me. I’m passionate and purposeful. Being courageous in my eyes is being brave and not afraid to face anything.

Hello!
I decided to use the word dream because everyone has a dream on what they want to do with their lives or how they see their lives going. I like to dream big and shoot for the stars. I sometimes over do it and disappoint myself, but other times I have achieved my dreams and surprised myself at what I can do! -Hanna Gough

I chose the word kind because I am the type of person who will help others regardless of the situation. Growing up, my parents and family always told me that kindness is the key to success. Now, I believe this to be true. If we are kind to people, we will find ourselves to be more successful and happy! My zoom background will be my plain curtain as I was unable to create a fun virtual background.

I chose this word because I always try to look for the good in people. I always think about that quote "kill them with kindness", even when I'm frustrated or upset. I also try to be considerate and sympathetic to people when they are dealing with something difficult, because I know how much it's important to people to have support. I also like being a caretaker, whether that be to all my pets, as my job as a respite caregiver for kids with special needs, or just to friends and family.

I am not a person to choose sides. I am usually in the middle of every drama/dispute/problem due to me always listening to both sides of the argument or story. I will always understand where you come from when explaining something or telling me a certain opinion. I personally dislike favoritism and treating people with inequality. My zoom background is a sketch I did on my iPad with procreate.

I chose the word humorous because I always enjoy making others laugh. Sharing laughter with someone can truly be some of the fondest memories together. Sharing laughter around the world makes it a little bit brighter! Even when I am not feeling my best making others happy make me feel happy.
