www.zinch.com/vanessa-dufford

I'm very into mucic, not sure if I want to pursue it professionally. I want to go to college with either a major in Phsycology..I love helping people, or my main choice Dentistry. I am big into my church and love helping anyway I possibly can. If there is one thing to know about me it is that I put others first and if I could thrive off of one thing, it would be helping others.
