I am the creation of my own beliefs, the product of my inspirations, and the result of a desire to be more than simply a me-shaped hole in the universe.
Hi. My name is Marisa. I currently reside in Florida and am enrolled in an IB school. School is not my life, but rather, I see it as a tool to help me succeed in what interests me most. I wish to study in an acclaimed engineering program and eventually work in nanotechnology. This is my dream, and I will do all I can to make it come true.
