Bio

I exclusively think outside of the box. People often do not see things the way I do because my dreams are so big. In the future I want to start my own nonprofit to provide children legal help that are failed by K-12 public schooling. My brother and I had many issues with our middle school and high school that the school ignored. I love serving others. I think the best thing you can do is helping others. A lot of this comes from a selfish motive because I like to feel like I'm making a difference. I want to make a mark on the world. I live freely and I do not conform. I never say no to anything and I truly feel like I can do it all. I want to see the world. Different cultures are beautiful. I am traveling abroad to Rome for the Spring 2020 semester and I cannot wait to start that adventure. I never settle in one place for too long, so I'm excited for the change. I want to do everything. I want to see everything. Nothing will ever get in the way of me doing what I love to do.
