Outside the classroom

I deeply enjoy playing field hockey as I did all throughout middle and high school, and I like to do yoga daily. I truly believe it helps deepen your sense of peace with yourself. I had to grow up at a young age and it makes me want to achieve immense things even more. I love more than anything to spend time with my 4 year old niece Paislee.
