Follow messageMarana High School Class of 2012
I'm the girl who does everything.
I do just about everything, because I believe that nothing can't be done in life. From leading a Journalism class to conducting a band, nothing is any match for the power of drive and determination. I am currently a Senior in high school who has gotten accepted into her dream school, Southwestern Assemblies of God University. There, I plan to study communications and expand my reach into the creative and community realms. While I do know things work out, I also know you have to work to make things work and that includes biding for scholarship after scholarship so that my dreams will come true.
