About
I attend Frank W. Cox High School and I plan to graduate with an advanced studies diploma. I have taken several rigorous courses throughout my high school career. These past few years have not only taught me so much about life, but also myself. I want to use my potential to the best of my ability. I enjoy giving back to my community and those in need. I am passionate about everything I do and i hope to be a positive influence for everyone around me.
