This summer I stayed with my sister up in Fargo, ND. When I came home I had a lot of alone time which I enjoyed. I started to work part time at my mom’s nail salon. I did a lot of reading, one of the books I finished was “The Summer Of Broken Rules” written by K. L. Walther. Me and my mom like to go on walks around the neighborhood after work, we also enjoy playing tennis.

I would say my biggest strength is kindness, I live by the quote, “in a world where you can be anything, be kind.” I believe being kind isn’t just towards your friends and family, it’s to your community, the world, and everyone in general. I chose to see kindness as a strength instead of a weakness because it’s what makes you stronger. I am very interested in psychology, I’m just very fascinated by our brain/mind and how it works. After I graduate I want to be a neuropsychologist or a dermatologist. When I was younger I did want to be a marine biologist.

one thing that is going well in my life is school, its a brand new year which means a fresh start. Now that I’m in 10th grade I know what to do that will set me up for success. I wasn’t very nervous for the first day of school as I had been the past years. My schedule is good and I have friends in almost every class. I really like my teachers, they are all super nice. We haven’t has assigned seats in any class yet which is nice.

My favorite song is, “Spring Into Summer” by Lizzy McApline. I have a deep connection to this song and the lyrics. I enjoy watching musicals, my favorite musical is Hamilton. In general I just love watching movies that have songs in them.
