My long-term goal is to become a Hairdresser. First, to become a Hairdresser I need to do well in school. I want to work as hard as I can to get my diploma and to move on with my life. I want to focus on doing my schoolwork and my homework everyday. I want to […]
“I know you can” was written on the pitboard as we came racing past my brother who was standing on the sidelines. One person stood in the way of my winning first overall at the Binghampton Amateur Motocross Nationals, and I wasn’t going to let him stop me. As we raced down the straight, I […]
It’s unusual how probably the most odd issues can encourage us and form our lives. My life modified one morning earlier than college once I was 12 years outdated. To date the yr had been jarring. My finest buddy had moved away that summer season and I felt alone in a sea of strangers. Despite […]

Ever since I started to attend […]

I like reading The Economist and watching “I love the 80s.” I like tennis, Fazoli’s breadsticks and writing assignments. I value honesty, commitment, scholarship and kindness. These are hard and true facts, but there is a lot I do not know about myself. I don’t know how I feel about the death penalty, I have […]
