In the 11 years I have spent being a student at Allegheny Clarion Valley, in either the elementary or high school, I have only ever got one B on a report card, which that already shows the hard work I put in the classroom.

I am sentimental, out-going, indecisive, understanding, curious, naive, lazy, and young. I want to be ... , well a lot of things, and growing is discovering what they are. I feel people cannot see the potential within, although there is no one to blame but myself. I look to others for approval instead of to myself. I aim to please; it leads to approval.
