I'm hoping to save up enough money for school because my health bills are going to be sky high. I've had three heart transplants and recently finished chemotherapy for the second time due to cancer. Thankfully, I'm still able to do well at school. I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I attend an early-morning seminary class that begins at 6:15 am. And I love it! I love high school and I'm so excited for senior year! I'm hoping to be accepted into Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah to study either history education or animation.
