About
My strengths include my grit and resilience.My empathetic and curious nature, which can at times be a weakness, also fuel me very much. I admire learning so much, at times to a fault and would love to be involved with community increasingly as I get older. Like many people my age, I hope to travel and expand my definition of community too. I am currently a senior in highschool who has overcome immense trials throughout my entire high school career, I'd like to think I am still faithful and vibrant despite and even alongside these trials. A personal goal of mine is to challenge, mostly myself, my own negative thoughts and experiences, but also the way certain settings and circumstances operate so I'm getting the most out of them and learning all I can, because I hope to leave things better than I find them. I want to share life with others and be shared with too, I aim to gift love to as many people as I can and as much as possible.
