Kelly Kenny

American University Class of 2013

MIAMI, FL

I've been tossed into the world that is commonly known as college, beware. Just kidding... but in all seriousness, I'm a college student living in the capitol's backyard and loving it. Even though I spend most of my time in class or at work, I do what I love and love what I do. I'm currently a DC Reads tutor, my team promotes literacy in DC public schools (which are notorious for high drop out rates and illiteracy). I'm a strong believer in the Constitution and a proud Patriot; I love my country, despite its flaws. Currently, I am majoring in Political science and am hoping to go to law school
