Hi, my name is Bianka and I am a 17-year-old attending my last year of high school at BHS. I would like to share a little bit about myself, including some of my hobbies. So to start, I was adopted when I was a newborn, and I had the adoption finalized when I was at the age of three. Shortly after getting adopted, it was discovered that I had impaired vision, and then I received my first pair of glasses. I got diagnosed with ADHD after attending the 2nd grade and got a progressive understanding of the education world after that leading to my years of marketing experience through the girl scout organization starting at the age of five. My home life began to fall apart as I was forced into a corner with my emotions. My mom and dad started being at odds with each other, yelling and screaming most of the time when the tension was high. It was decided after two years worth of fighting that it was time to get a divorce. The years that my parents fought, led up to my diagnosis of Anxiety and Major Depressive Disorder. After experiencing the latter of bullying and harassment due to my conditions by peers/adults, clubs, and social activities, I decided that I'd had enough. I went to Jane Addams Middle School and started to face the inequities of my past, even going to the lengths, of getting two buddy benches put at my school in the ending years. I vowed to myself that I'd leave a mark wherever I go and that I would help others that were like me. That's what my life goal is.
