Follow messageFirst of all I'm a complete dork, but I take school very seriously. Most say I'm the quiet and reserved type, but I don't think so. I'm also what you would call an overachiever and perfectionist, I have to constantly fix things to make sure they are right. I love music and softball. I taught myself to play the piano and I also play the flute, piccolo, and am learning the tenor saxophone, and I used to play the trumpet. I am the nerdy/geeky type, I like video games. I'm also, in a way, a hippie. I'm all for peace, love, and tranquility. But, I'm also quick-tempered, so the whole hippie thing is kind of ironic.
I was teased a lot when I was younger, so my self esteem was pretty low. Now I've learned to be myself because that's all that matters. I love to read, and maybe too much because when it's a nice day I normally don't hang out with friends I just chill in the sun and read a good book. I'm not antisocial or anything like that I just enjoy peace and quiet. I love my friends and I don't know what I'd do without them, though. <3
I love to volunteer and help the earth. I recently fasted for thirty hours to raise money for starving people in Haiti. I also helped plant trees around my town's softball field.
My favorite classes, this year, are PreCalculus, Chemistry, and Band. I am currently a Junior at Prairie High School, and I figured it's time to take my life to the next step and figure out my future plans because even though I'm an overachiever I haven't even started to try to figure out college.
