The most distinguishable traits I acquirehave acquired from those around me are the fact I am extremely open-minded, and compassionate, and I don’t judge others. If my friends are having an argument, I always listen to both individuals and then evaluate amy own stance. Especially in high school, where gossip is currency, I never havehave never changed my perspective on a person merely based on what others wereare saying. I forgive others very quickly, and I never hold grudges. I feel the most confident when I am doing an activity whether(whether at school or in my day life,daily life) that most people would never consider doing. Taking computer science, I was one of three girls in themy computer science class, and itwhich made me feel special and that I was different, in a good way. I love going against the grain and proving to myself that I am worthy and deserving. If I want something, I will not stop until I have achieved it. I’m also grateful to have seen both sides of the typical high school experience.

I try to incorporate both groups through Bearkat TV in hopes of closing that gap. I have strong faith, and greatlytruly believe that everything happens for a reason.
