Hi, my name is Deborah Christian. I am a hardworking teenager trying to make a difference in the world, and I am working very hard to reach my lifelong goal of becoming a family lawyer. I love helping others and getting things done. I am a perfectionist, but I also know when to have fun. I can be very serious and professional, but I can also be very goofy and weird sometimes. I am an intellectual, as well as an artistic person. I express myself in the arts (Poetry, Dance, Forensics, Music: Clarinet, Vocals, Piano, etc), as well as sports (Basketball, Track). Overall I'm just a bubbly, loving person. I love helping others, and I am a strong leader. I am a people person, and easy to talk to as well. I love solving problems, but I also love just relaxing and reading a good book. I hope to attend the College of William and Mary, and I would like to major in Psychology, before I pursue a career in Family Law. I want to help people in everything I do, and I would love to create an organization geared towards helping the family. .I can be predictable, but I don't see it as a bad thing, because it only means that people know me for who I really am.
