About
I'm a high school honor student at the top of my class. I grew up in the small town of Starkville, Ms. I'm extremely hard-working and ambitious. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, and I pursue my goals with passion. As of right now, my main goal is to go to FSU or NYU and study to become a film director. I really enjoy cinema, and I would like to pursue that interest. I became involved in martial arts at a young age, and now I hold a black belt in Taekwondo. I believe that I have enough resolve to accomplish my goals. Anything that I pursue or that I do be it home work or studying, I will only bring my absolute best. I seek to further my understanding of the world around me and ideas. I'm very passionate about philosophy and understanding my purpose.
