Sometimes, I wish there was actually something interesting about me. You probably walk by me and never turn back. I may not be the most attractive girl to look at or the most fashionable but I have one thing that will take me farther in life than both those things combined. I have an American dream.

So awhile I’m still young, I’m going to take obstacles that block my path and change them into opportunities that’ll lead my future. Did I mention my name? It’s Yee Vang. ^^
